Perth Amboy evening news., 1912-12-06

Reverting to the technical phrases of
the medical profession, he said that
Jerome did not understand at all
what DR.. Evans was talking about
during the Thaw trial. He compli-
mented DR.. Ramsay for his success
in winning over TenBroeck, whom he
considers one of the strongest Re-
publicans in the county. DR.. Ramsay
deserves credit for winning the right
to represent the $4,000 people in
Middlesex.
Hon. John Matthews said that the
lawyers have control of the law and
the doctors the lives of the laymen,
for whom there is nothing to do but
walk the straight and narrow path"
He said that he and DIR. Ramsay had
sat in the assembly together and that
he had known the senator-elect to be
more than jealous in the considera-
ton of the myriad questions arising
before the legislators. He said that
in every instance DR.. Ramsay had
adhered to the principles of Wilson.
He congratulated the people for
electing such a man to the senate.
Judge Peter F.. Daily, the speaker
of the evening, took issue with Pros
ecutor Silzer in criticizing the medi-
cal profession, and showed how the
attorneys at law were not always
angelic. In speaking of DR.. Ramsay
he said he represents the whole
people; he is in a profession that
does not stop first to consider dol
lars and cents, but the only object in
mind is to save the life in jeopardy
or ameliorate the suffering. In an
eloquent, vivid analysis he showed
the component parts making up the
American citizen; how he is formed
from the blood of nearly every coun-
try. He said that DR.. Ramsay is a
man who will represent the whole
people, not a man who believes that
a certain class were born with STIR
rups and saddle, ready to ride those
who were not SO fortunate. He is
going to Trenton because he believes
he a do Gods will best there. He
closed with reciting a beautiful poem
by an Irish poet.
DR.. Ramsay then told how the dis
play of friendship SO manifestly por-
trayed, touched him to the depths
of his heart. There are faces here
not only local, but whom l see made
an effort and travelled a distance to
be present. He declared the eve
ming banquet is the most enjoyable
time he ever spent. He stated that
in all countries of prominence he
medical men have taken part
legislation of their nations. He Sci
it was necessary for doctors to be
in the law making bodies, as there
are bills for the public health which
he would suggest, which the laymen
would not think of. The financial
condition of the public is based on
its health. So it is the duty of med
ical men to affiliate themselves with
the legislators to give the public the
benefit of their special knowledge.
Prosecutor Stricken was the last
speaker, and thanking the guests for
their attendance, he spoke of ways
in which a man of DR.. Ramsay's tai
forming of laws. For instance, the
employers liability act has been
found to be imperfect in construc-
ton and requiring numerous
changes. He predicted for DR.. Ram
say a successful term of service, and
said he knew of no man mor quail
fed for the Office for which he had
been elected.
