The thesis is divided into six chapters, the most extensive of which contains empirical tests of twenty-six hypotheses pertaining to eleven groups of items organized from 235 judge-evaluated items. The groups are: Qualifications, method of election and term of office; Appointive powers; Removal powers; Vacancy-filling powers; Voting; and Functions of the chairman vis-a-vis the state committee, executive committee, subcommittees, local committees, state conventions, local conventions and elections. There are also chapters which analyze the 235 evaluated items, the effectiveness of the by-laws and election laws, and the relationship be tween the party scores and selected political and demographic variables. The final chapter recapitulates the major findings and conclusions. Ten appendices contain data utilized in the study.
