SUGGESTS ONE OF BIS OWN

The plan of the Central Deuaocyatic
COMMITTEES for the reorganization OF the
party has caused no end of discussion
but almost every democrat spoken to on
the subject seems anxious to avoid talk.
Ing oD the matter. Many of those meu-
toned as members of the Provisional
COMMITTEES said they had not been ON
ciaIly notified. and until they were they
would rafuse to express an opieu.
1t was evident from interviews had
with leading democrats in every part of
the county that they distrusted the Cen>
trail Democratic Coramittee. Bob"
Davis, majority of them ooItend, was
too anxious to have the plan put through,
and this anxiety on his part seems to
have hoodooed the matter To certain
