that IT ought to present It's conclusions
TO the club with a specific recommends
tion for such action as the members
deem II best to take.
THE committee finds that in practically
every county of the state there exists a
strong and growing dissatisfaction with
the present state leadership, and an In
sistent and increasing demand for a
change that will make easier of solution
the serious problems OF reconstruction
and reorganization which the party faces.
There persists everywhere a conviction
that William Barnes Is the chief obstacle
TO party harmony and success, and that

state organization the party Will never

voters
Your committee finds that this convic-

variety of reasons. Many of them IRE

iustifable or sufficient grounds for fis
retirement
Its members, however. are unanimous
in the belief that many of his frequently
expressed views Of government and poll
tics are not only danger ously destructive
rather than progressively constructive
bur are emphatcally and clearly un-
Republican. This constitutes an ooJec-
ton TO his continuation in position OF
authority in the party so weighty az TO
demand his retirement. We accompany
this report with full statement OF our
views.
I'VE therefore recommend that the New
York Young Republican Club takes such
steps as will help TO bring about a change
in the state leadership, and that IT enter
at once on an active campaign to put
these recommendations into effect.
