DR.. Ramsay was greeted with
much cheering and applauding and
made an excellent address. He told
of his past record in the legislature
and added that his first work had
been to introduce a bill to protect the
public against "quacks." He said
that the bill had passed both the
house and the senate but hat Cover
nor Fort had vetoed it because his
son, who represented the "quack or
ganization," was under a retainer
which was sufficient to insure the
confidence of the son and likewise
that of the father. He said that he
had always worked In the interests
of public health and that more legis-
lation was needed to protect the pub
lie against ~"quacks." Public health"

In the mind Of every man" In CIV
Ing statistics DR.. Ramsay said that
twelve out of every n hundred had
tuberculosis, which, he added, was
enough proof that the health ques-
ton was a serious e and one that
needed attention. He scored Cover
nor Fort as a man whose word could
not be depended on and gave illus
trations of how he had disguised re-
publican members Of the assembly.
Several excellent stories by the doc
tor caused much laughter and were
given to illustrate his points. The
speaker showed how necessary 1t was
to have medical men in the legisla-
ture and concluded by saying: II

followed by put On Your Old Grey
Bonnet From the rear balcony
and from the sides where the big
delegation from South Amboy was
congregated, could be heard the
strains of the popular song Has

new words. 1t was too noisy to catch
the words but the song sounded
something like this:

Knows what we want and he'll get it
too
Before IN Congress he is through.
