164. The term "Political Committee," within the meaning of this
sub-title, shall include every committee or combination of two or more
persons to aid or promote the success or defeat of any political party or
principle in any election, or of any proposition submitted to vote at a
public election, or to aid or take part in the nomination or election of

Nothing in this sub-title shall prevent the treasurer or political agent

agent or treasurer of any other candidate. No person shall be ap-
