Regular Democratic Organization Sees
Nomination OF Its Entire Slate at
the Big April 1lth Primary
All Factions and All Nationalties Are Pulling
Hard Together to Nominate Every
Man Named BY 1t

The regular Democratic organiza-
tiOn with headquarters at the Hotel
Sherman is confident of victory for its
whole slate at the primary April H.
Reports from all of the wards re
ceived b. the executive committee
show great enthusiasm for the ticket
The committee, which consists Of Will
liam l.. O'Connell. A. J. SABBATH, Mar
tin J. O'Brien, Dennis j. Egan and
George f. Brennan meets every day
and the rooms are crowded with
workers representing every precinct
The various natiOnalities represented
on the slate are all with the candi-
dates The Poles, BOhemians. Ger
mans and other great units in our cos
mOpolitan population are standing by
the strong ticket named by the Demo
cratic Managing Committee for their
approval The various factions in the
party are satisfied and are pulling to-
gether. Congressman SABBATH who
represents the Harrison element, Viii
liam l.. O'COnnell, leader of the Dunno
forces, and Dennis J. Egan, Martin J..
O'Brien and George E. Brennan lead
ers of the Sullivan forces, are working
as one man for primary day success.
The candidates are all working hard
and are presenting important facts be
fore the people.
Aid L. s. Schwartz, candidate for
the Democratic nomination for board
of review, in his speeches says:
Excessive taxes and their closely
relative high rents are leaving trail
of untold suffering in Chicago The
tax-burdened people of this city need
men of broad human sympathy and a
thorough understanding of their prob
lens on the board of review, the only
body to which they can appeal for inn
mediate relief
If | am elected a member of the
board of review the grievance of the
humblest taxpayer will be given full
and careful consideration. Taxes on
many small homes have been boosted
so outrageously as to seriously dis
courage the form of thrift which is
the foundation stone of a prosperous
and laW-abiding community.
Il believe thoroughly that owner
ship of homes, particularly by those
in modest circumstances, should be
encouraged rather than subjected to
unbearably heavy tax burdens"

CHIR0S HIT
BY RULING
OF MILLER
Education Head Says They
Must Have 4 Years in
High School.

Springfield, H., March 1.--Direc-
tor w. H. H. Miller of the depart
ment of registration and education
today ordered that -four years high
school education or it's equivalent"
shall be required of all applicants
for state license as chiropractors,
osteopaths or napropaths. Another
requirement 10 be added soon, he
said, would demand at least u
months training in a professional
school.
This announcement completely
reverses the practice of the depart
ment since the supreme court on
June 20, 1921, held the medical prac-
tice act of 1917 unconstitutional.
Since then there have been no pre-
liminary requirements for "other
practitioners" and some licenses
have been granted to persons who
have had very little high school
training and but scanty professional
training, the director said.
Reviewed Act of 1893.
Mr. Miller made today's ruling
under authority of the act of 1899,
which the supreme court recently

He announced that approximately
500 applicants had been given the
"other practitioners" examination
since the act of 1917 was knocked
out, and that -four years high
school training" had not been re-
quired of any of them.
DR., Mary E. Davenport, chiro-
practor of Chicago, who is here in
connection with her legal fight
against the department for appoint
ment of separate chiropractors
examining board said today that she
regarded both recent rulings of the
supreme court as favorable to
chiropractors, and that they were
going ahead with their fight for an
examining board, on the ground
that the examinations for ''otheT
practitioners" row held by the de
partment's medical examining board
are illegal. The code law provides
for separate chiropractors' exam
lining board, which has never been
appointed, she said.
