Innocent as it may appear, 1t was
said In the hotel Hobbies tonight that
khis clause strikes directly at the grip
which many OF the members OF the
committee now have on their jobs by
virtue OF their control of their local
State politics. In few States OF tho
Union are members OF the national
committee elected by law The ma
tional committee itself has no legal
existence In most OF the States, in
GLIDING Maryland. national commit
teemen are chosen by the State con-
ventions or by the delegates elected
TO the national convention and ac-
cording to party rules and regila-
lions. BY controlling the State con-
ventions the politicians can control
the election OF members OF the ma
tionai committee.
The declaration In the party plat
form proposes that In such States the
national committeeman shall be
