The forces of Sawyer, late MCKEE
mort were before the House Commit
tee on General Laws yesterday morn
ing. They proposed changes in the
laws In reference to examination for
physicians SO as to allow medical
students to take examinations in
schools at the end OF two years as
we'll as four years. This is 10 he more
fair to the student and to obviate the
necessity for "crammingr at the end
of the course. Another change is Civ
ing the State board power 10 revoke
the license of physician for cause.
Judge Martin Williams did not like
the provision of the law which re-
quires diplomas from reputable
medical school before the student is
examined by the State board He did
not see why any one should not he
allowed to take the examination. II
was explained that in medical colleges
the student gets practical training as
well as instruction in theory.
AS to the word reputable it was
frankly the idea of the doctors TO bar
men who may have bought diplomas
or who come from schools which give
Insufficient courses. There was no OBJ
lection to admitting every one from
the three Virginia schools.

that he would probably be compelled

certificate. Across It's face, In red ink,
he stated that the person had been ex-

slender plurality Of I7.7S votes. His
plurality in the upstate counties was

Four wears later b. b. ODELL. .Jr.. was
reelected Governor Of the State by a

victory was generally expected up 10
the close Of the campaign. But ODELLs
plurality up the State reached the un-
precedented figure Of 49,. AS. while the
Democratic plurality in this city was
but l?3.833. Two factors explained the
OdelI victory. first the factional fight in
certain Democratic counties. notably
Clinton and Rensselaer,, which in 1898
gave a Democratic plurality Of $50 and
in 1872 n Republican plurality Of q. 7OT.
and secondly the remarkable efficiency

In 1919 the Republicans again began
campaign with defeat apparently
inevitable As matter Of fact all
the Republican candidates except Mr.

which ranged from 5.1ii u above IO, 900.
Only the revolt Of the independents and
Democrats and tho Mct arren- Hearst

to the Republicans. Half the Hughes
plurality was directly trnccable to IN.
