As TO the so-called regularity OF the organization
OF which Mr. Brookheld is chairman. We assert;
FIrst-that the so-called organization undertaken
by the old County Committee through the Commit
tee OF Thirty required in reality the making OF a new
organization radically and essentially differing from
the old one. and that an essential preliminary 10
IN. making OF such new organization said plan
necesstated the compete destruction OF the old or
ganzation.
Second-Tha, long as the constitution OF 1888
existed this setting UP OF new organization upon
the ruins OF the old Impossible. since under thr
Old constitution the County Committee had no
power 10 even permanently abolish single Assem-
bly, district organization
Third ina, as the destruction OF the Old organiza-
ton and its constitution involved the destruction OF
the old County Committee. such comfnttcr c9uli
not a. representative body set up new organiza-
tion. No constitution or Amendment TO const'u,,
ton could confer upon committee su'h power u
