specifically cover this point, nor is it
specifically stated in the statute what
constitutes the state central committee.
,tut the practice has always been for
lhe different political parties to have
u county committed composed OF one
committeeman from each equity The
I fatute provides for the election of
these committeeman from the different
precincts and from the different coun-
ties, and seems to leave it to inference
mat these committeeman sc elected
up the county and state commit
tees. Section SO of the primary law pro-
Vldes that t.G chairman OF the county
r@nrral committee shall be selected by
h candidates, but that Inc tree Surer
rhall be selected by the committee. This
Is q clear intimation that the candi-
oates are not a part of the committee,
and in my opinion this is the proper in
depreciation to be places on the law"
There being no special provision in
law as to who shall cali the meet
the attorney generals opinion is
the count chairman Shail call the
