TH1RTY,s PLAN DOESN'T WORK.

Many Republicans Want the Old Assembly
District syatem Back.
For a long time there has been moro or less
dissatisfaction on the part Of many Republicans
with tho plan Of organization Of the party now
in force in this county. The chief objection to 1t
is that 1t forbids the existence Of anything like
an Assembly district organization and precludes
the possibility Of a County Executive Committee.
The primo object OF the plan was to make tho
election district association the real source of
all organization effort and to prevent the abridg.
ment Of it's powers In any way. The result of
its practical operation. the dissatisfied Republic
cans say, has been to weaken tho organization
in Assembly districts where 1t should DO strong,
especially when an important battle 10 on for
tho control of the Legislature. It has caused
rows over the organization Of conventions
which never would have occurred had there
been an Assembly District Committee empow.

vent tie recurrence of such trouble, 1t has been

tive committee has been ovaded by the pro ision
