Mr.. Judd.s work as precinct COM

and gives Its unqualified support to
the work of Mr., L. M. Judd, county

Radical Changes Suggested.
In the recommendations to be pre-
sented to the county committee to-
night, plans are suggested for radical
changes in the formation of the coun-
ty and territorial committees. At the
present time, these committees are
named at the county and territorial
conventions. The new primary law,
while its provisions require such CON-
mittees, did not provide for the man
ner of creating them. Committeeman
Judd's plan, as it WI. be presented
tonight, calls for direct elec-
ton of a county committeeman in
each precinct The county commit
tees of the territory are to choose the
territorial committee. Direct elections
of county platform committees are
also suggested, the county platform
committees to choose the territorial
platform committee, Other changes
are urged.
