Il largely one of main bodies and auxilia-
\ ties.
E This is apparently true in politics.
~ The main body of any political party
/ 8 the national committee; its auxiliary is
\ the rank and file.
q One is as essential to party organiza-
HON as the other, the only difference ly-
Ing in the fact that the rank and file
\. doesn't know it is essential.

nsy for instance. In the theatrical business. IL
