HEAR|NG Of GERAN
BILL IS now ON

~lutionary scheme by an enormous ma
jority and that vote was authoritative
Governor Griggs says he Is opposed
on principle to referendum, but he rec
ognizes the fact that changes cannot
be otherwise made In the State con-
stttution. Therefore. in so far as the
provisions of the bill, which affect the
affairs of political parties are con-
cerned, he believes lhould be submitted
to an approval by popular vote before
1t becomes a law.
The Legislature. he says, has no
more to do in a legal sense with the
choice of delegates to national con-
ventions thar 1t has to do with dele
gates to a peace congress. Nor has 1t
any right to say that specially desig-
mated persons shall constitute the State
convention of a political party. nor
that State convention shall choose the
members of a State committee. THESE
provisions are offensive and imperti-
nent. interneddling with affairs over
which the Legislature has no right or
power OF CONTROL"
THE proper scheme of government
for a political party Is to let each
party organize itself as 1t sees 1T.
state its principles and it's views In
such form as 1t chooses and regulate
the custom or method of selecting Its
| candidates for office. In the scheme of
| government under which we live cleo
tion day Is a day OF judgment when
the candidates are tried out by the
people,"
Concluding, Governor Griggs says
that he is anxious as anyone for pure
elections and pure political govern
ment, but II do not believe that ION
esty, integrity or patriotic principles
can be instilled into the popular heart
and mind by fiat OF the Legislature"

OsTEOPATH BILL
LOSES BY SINGLE
VOTE IN HOUSE
Spirited Fight Over Measure to
Create Separate EXAMINE
ing Board.
[Fron a Stan correspondent.l

TRENTON, April 4.-The osteopath
bill introduced by Mr.. Brown, of Es-
sex came up in the House today and
was the subject of a brisk fight. Tn
measure woulo create a board of five
members, to be appointed by the Gov
ernor, to conduct examinations and
issue licenses for the practise of
osteopathy.
In the absence of MT. Brown, Mr..
MCGOWAN. of Essex, spoke for the bill.
Assemblyman Ramsay. of Middlesex.
who is a physician, made a strong plea
for the defeat of the measure. He said
that he had no objection to letting the
osteopaths practise, provided that they
pass an examination to prove hat
they are capable of treating human
ills. They claimed to know much of
physiology. but why did they want to
avoid an examination in physiology, he
asked.
Roasts Osteopath Colleges.
They boosted of their great attain
ments in other branches of medicine,
yet baked at going before an impartial
board to lave their qualifications test
ed. They wanted to set up a separate
standard for their own benefit. BY
statistics he showed that the osteopath
institutions were mere shells. He in
stanced one case where a leading osteo-
path college did not have a single body
to dissect in a whole year. By all odds
the speech of Ramsay was the best
effort heard In the House this yea on
any subject.
Agnew, of Hudson, said that the o
ditions in the o~steopathy colleges of the
| United States were a disgrace to civil
ization. He read from a report of the
Carnegie Foundation to prove his re-
marks.
Matthews Praises ~OsteOpaths.
Majority Leader Matthews while
praising many good points of the os-
teopaths warned the House that 1t
would be taking an awful RESPONSE
bility to put on the statute books u
law that would give to any class of
men the right to treat the diseases of
mankind without limitation, even
though they do not profess to know
the common principles of medicine.
Assembiyman Geran attacked the
regular physicians for lobbying against
the bill and berated them for intimat-
ing hat those who favored the bill
would fall under the wrath of the doc
tors at election time.
The bill was lost. h vote being %
to IS. On a persistent call for absen-
tees the o~steopathic element succeeded
in landing one more vote, or a total Of
thirty, just one short of enough to pass
the bill. r..

Presidents Message.
President 1aft's first message to the
sixty-secona Congress will go in to-
morrow. according 10 unofficial infor-
nation at he White House today. The
/ President oegap the dictation of the
/ message early today. and when the
leabinet met at Il o'clock he laid before
II a rough draft of the document. FOL
lowing the cabinet session his after
noon the President will Jake up the
message with one of his secretaries and
roposes to complete it.
The message, according 10 The White
House. will deal only with eeciproeity
with Canada. Reference to a per-
n tariff commission or to other
kindred subjects VIII be deferred until
later If the present plan is followed.
The message will not be long ana wiz

opened amid a deafening demonstration
of applause and cheering. Both meii
we're brought to Washington by pro-
fessional engagements.
The opening program in the House
always an interesting spectacle, was
followed today with uncommon Keen
mess. 1t included the calling OF tine
HOUSE to order by Major Alexander
Mcdowell. the veteran Repubiean
clerk of the House, who is soon to be
replaced, the calling of h roll, the
election OF the speaker, his speech OF
acceptance, the swearing in of the
members by State delegations n the
drawing for seats. There are always
a few privileged members who are al
lowed to choose their seats in advance
of the drawing. They include usually
the Oldest member of the House, in
point of service, General Bingham, OF
Pennsylvania. the minority leader, and
one or two others as the House lead
ers may designate.
The chief feature of interest in the
session today, of course, was the cleo
ton of Champ Clark. of Missouri, as
speaker of the House and n return to
the floor of "Uncle Joe" cannon as a
mere member from Danville. ILL.,, and
a minority member at that. The swear
ing in of new congressman vas the
first business of the day. This was fol-
lowed by the presentation OF the report
OF the new committee on rules and
other matters of organizatin.

BOARD Of
EDUCATION WAS
IN BAD MIX Up
President Hays Thanks Mem
bers for Office to Which He
Had Not Been Elected.


TRENTON. April 4.--There al a
decidedly unusual complication of af-
fairs at the annual meeting of the
New Jersey State Board of Education
today because of the fact that for the
past week four of the old members
of the board were out of office owing
to the expiration of their terms, a sit
uation which necessitated reorganiza-
ton of the old board for a period long
enough to inish up the work Of the
old organization. Appointments to the
board were not confirmed by the Sem
ate until last evening.
James L. Hays, president OF the old
board, was one of those confirmed last
night. His term of Office having ex-
PRED, the old organization was without
a president. The first action, there
fore, at the meeting today was to re-
elect the old president for the short
session of the old board. Mr.. Hays
was out of the room at the time of the
election. When he came in he vas
informed that he had been elected
president.
Hayes Thanked Members.
Mr.. Hays believed that he had been
elected president of the new board for
a full term. where, in fact, his election
was as president of the old board for a
term which did not last more than fif-
teen minutes. Under the impression
that he was president for the new term.
Mr.. Hays made a flowery speech of
acceptance of the office of president
for the new term. When he had con-
Guided his acceptance he found out hat
he had accepted an offie to With he
had not been eleted, so he switched his
speech to apply to the presidency v. no
lid board.
After the business of the old Loard
was transacted officers of the new one
were elected. Mr.. Hays was chosen
president. There was q contest be-
tween j. Dale Dilworth, of Salem, and
former Judge William II. Morrow, of
Belyidere, for the vice-presidency.
Judge Morrow was chosen by a vote
of II to ). His selection was later
made unanimous. Other appointive
and elective officers of the board will
be chosen later.
