Los Angeles herald., 1910-05-03
GOOD GOVT. FORCES ARE
ORGANIZED FOR COUNTY
Executive Committee Appointed
to Prepare for the Coming
Fight in Los Angeles

Members of the Good Government or
ganization at their annual meeting last
night took the first official step to-
ward their proposed participation in
the coming county campaign by form
ing a county organization and electing
a county executive committee. This
committee, in its turn, will meet next
Saturday afternoon to elect officers
for the ensuing year from among its
membership.
The purposes Of the county organiza-
ton are similar to those of the city
organization, which now is merged in
the larger body, retaining its entity,
however, so far as city matters are
concerned. Under this plan twenty
four members of the executive commit
tee are city residents, while twenty
five are residents of the county outside
of the city limits. The secretary, to
be elected outside of the committee
membership, becomes a committeeman
on his election.
The new plan of organization was
submitted to last nights meeting in the
form of a report from the outgoing
executive committee, the report being
adopted on motion of Hugh w. Ad-
ans The motion which created the
new Los Angeles County Good Gov
ernment organization was worded as
follows:
"Resolved, that the report of the ex-
ecutive committee be accepted and the
recommendation therein contained be
adopted and that the Los Angeles
County Good Government organization
be hereby declared formed and the con-
stitution recommended in the report
be declared adopted as its constitu-
tion."

the county campaign are:
