interesting and radical scheme for the reor-

County Committee abolishng that organiza-
ton and the ward committees. and providing
that every ward shall have its Executive Com
mittee composed of a delegate from each cleo
ton district Then each Of these ward execu-
tive committees It is intended by ingenious
Mr.. BENJAMIN shall elect a delegate to a central
organization known as thu County Executive
Committee. A.. ~
Mr. Benjamin's idea Is drawn from the plan
that obtains in Philadelphia and he thinks us
operation here would be to decrease factional
quarrelling. 1t is said that the County Com
mittee members are not enthusiastic over MY
Benjamns scheme.
