perance lobbies--ons for and the other
against prohibition. Several labor lob
baes. particularly one representing the
Seamen's Union.
All these Hobbies ne said. worked IN
fair and open manner. and so far ~
he knew. had attempted no wrong or
insidtous methods. On the contrary
from some Of them. the Senator had
obtained valuable Information.
To this list Senator Owen Of Oklahoma
Ing the tendency Of the Public Health
bill last sesAon the Medical Freedom
League had deluged him with letters
and arguments.
II believe" said the Senator. that
this campaign was backed by the patent
medicine trust. There was expended In
q single days advertising In newnpapers
$4,000 In opposition 10 the Public Health
bill. and beiisvs the. money WAS fur
nishsd by the patent medicine manufsc-
turers. On the other hand. the Freedom
League maintained that the money was
voluntary contributions BY people who
feared q public health bureau would
interfere with their medical Freedom.
and they mentioned the Christian
Scientists 40 among that number"
