The plan is described as essentially tonta-
tive" because Of the third paragraph which
reads:
such new organization ami enrolment shnil be made

PROVISIONS but power Is hereby conferred upon said
Organization committee. IN case OF necessity. to after

The Mholland mon say this means that all
OF the provisions OF the plan may be altered or
amended II tho CON mittee so desires, and that
the party In the county will be subject to
the autocratic sway" OF "a few men on tho
reorganization committee.

that:

are manifestiy inoperatiNe and do not need TO
have the test OF experience app piled to them to
demonstrate their Iluixotic iinpracticability."
