LET TIL
PUBLIC JUDGE

The Professional Guild or Middlese&
County has issued several advertisements
appealing to the people TO vote against
Assemblymen Lyons and Peterson, both
Republican candidates for reelection TO
the General Assembly, on the grounds that
both these assemblymen voted for the
chiropractor's bill.
Do the members of the guild know that
when this chiropractic bill was first in
troduced in Trenton in 1919. and while still
In committee. that Assemblyman Lyons
took special occasion to call the attention
Of a member of the guilds legislative
committee to this bill and asked this
\ member what the doctors wanted done
\ with il. This legislative member told
ihe assemblyman that the doctors were
not interested in this bill. Why does the
guild blame the assemhlymen after this
bill became a law
the four doctors who are active in this
propaganda to defeat the Republican can
<idates. namely. Drs. Howley. Sullivan
Hoffman and Nafey. have not IN any way
attached Fred W. De Voc, Democratic
candidate for state senator. and who while
= member OF the legislature voted for the
chiropractic bill? Why do these doctors
through the guild. attack the Republican
candidates and say nothing about the
Democratic candidate who did the same
thing; Can Il be that the guild has pro-
fessional politicians within Its own ranks"
or is IL a mere coincidence that these
doctors are members OF the Democratic
II Lyons and Peterson should be de-
feated because they voted for the chiro-
practie bill. why should not a Democratic
candidate2 Why. cover" him up
DO the members Of the guild know that
the bill as voted for by both Mr.. Lyons
and Peterson was drawn and presented
to the members OF assembly by a COM
mittee appointed to study this problem2
That this committee held several meet
ings and heard. not only from the doctors.
but also from the chiropractors. and that
as a result Of these hearings they finally
drafted the bill as presented? Certainly
sitter the house Of assembly had given
fhtS matter nNaF 80 q GnFafa1 gfVAN hN a
committee II was logical to accept the
Kill drawn by the committee. particularly
after all sides had a careful end far
de violence to what the facts warranted.
When the guild appeals for votes
sgainst Lyons and Peterson on the ground
that they voted to lower the medical
standard and thus endangered the health
OF the public. they lend thus TO propo-
eanda that is discreditsble as It il false.
They well know that both Lyons and Pet
erson voted for every health measure
presented and did everything in their
power TO assist in it's passaEe. Among
Them were Senate 100 prohibiting the dis
tribution Of unpasteurized milk. A. C.. r.
creating a child welfare commission:
a 2s9 giving state board, power to APP
point a resident physician at New Jersey
state prison. Senate 100 increasing allow
ance for dependent children: Senate ITO
pnd Senate ia assisting widows in ask
ing for county relief; Senate 2S9 cancern-
ing hayward children: Assembly SO con-
sernins age for children in institutions
snd Assembly 235 providing for care OF
orphan children
Lastly. all that we ask the guild and
It's members is for fair play and a disiu-
.erested study of facts. and Re feel as
sured that they viii come to the conelu-
sion that this propaganda Is insincere
and is done 10 accomplish partisan pollti-
al ends
A vote for Lyons and Peterson is a
vote to protect public welfare. Record
