With five republican candidates for the place and three democrats seeking a position on the tieket the campaign which hns been waged for the last two months has been a hot one. Politi cians today predicted that Carter H. Harrison, "who for four terms was mayor of Chicago, will receive the democratic nomination again, over An drew J. Grahani, candidate of the ma chine. Edward Dunne, also a former mayor, the third in (he race, has a good show for the nomination but Is not con sidered formidable by either of the other tvf candidates, between whom the principle fight has been waged. Graham, It. Is alleged, is being back ed by the corporations. At the republican camp, thn battle le Just as hard, with all five of the candi dates running well. John It.

The weather Is fair and the early balloting. Indicated record voting; In both parties. The prohibition and socialist parties each, have a single candidate, but while they certainly will be nominated their chances- or election are repaded as nil. ,".-':' HEALTH LAWS Dr. W. S. Rankin Explains the State Must Protect Its School Child' ' ren is Plea of Medical Profession Discussion of Position Taken by "National League for Medical Freedom" Reply to Chaeges Against Pending Health Bill. 'The National League for Medical Freedom" through their attorneys In a hearing before the committee on ap propriations objected to pending health legislation on the following counts: First, that the present public health laws discriminate unjustly In favor ot the regular medical profession; second, that the state board ot health is ask ing for oppressive power for the en forcemeiit of quarantine:- third, that the health laws, now pending, which provide for the medical Inspection of school children in the public schools Interfere with individual rights and ate oppressive. To their first charge we would reply: That the present public health laws of the state certainly discriminate. in favor of the regular profession. ..These, laws reciulre for example: That the state health officer, four of the nine mem bers of the state hoard of health; and every county superintendent of health shall be a regular registered physi cian. But what are these laws? Are they not the voire of the; people as Interpreted by those chosen to rep resent them? It Is not the win ot ninety or ninety-eight percent of the people of 'North Carolina that the prin ciples of medicine enacted into health laws shall be the principles to lae idiopathic schools, and tlmt members of this school should be chosen to en force the principles, in which they .be lieve?. Their criticism then of any un fulr discrimination is a criticism of the right of. the majority to rule. : To ' their second charge, that the state board of health is asking for an oppressive power to enforce the exe cution of the fiuarantine laws through local authorities, we reply: First, that life and death are dependent upon i. e faithful execution of qunrantine in epidemics, and that five , times ; us many people lose their lives -through lax quarantine enforcement as are Kin. ed- In homicide; second, that the con trol of contagion which recoguiaes no county bondary, must be to a, certain extent within the power of the State. An example will make this plain: In one or two adjacent townships situ ated in different counties, scarlet fever begins to spread, and the county authorities refuse to properly execute the quarantine laws In the affected township; the result Is that the neigh boring township in another county Is unprotected against the county negli gent or careless In quarantine. Unless the state has some authority to impose penalties for neglected quarantine or to compel the county primarily at tacked, to enforce quarantine, the second county is at the mercy of its careless and disease disseminating neighbor. .'-' Last year, when smallpox was rife In North Carolina, at least a dozen counties reported to the state health ofOcer that their counties were re- eiving the disease from a certain nunly against which they asked the state's protection. The present law jave the state no power to protect hem. The people of North Carolina, he great majority of whom believe n .quarantine enforcement, desire the tate to have the power to protect them rom a small minority of counties who roiri a small minority of counties .vho fairl to realize their re sponsibility in the proper exe cution of. quarantine laws. Hut 'Doctor" Cook says it would be op pressive for the state to have this protective power. To the third charge, that medical in fection of public schools by a public officer chosen by the people interested in the schools is an Interference with ndividunl liberty and is oppreslve, .ve reply: First, that when the public Invests its money in the educational levelopment of children it has a right to -Investigate the physical basis ot its nvestmcnt, that Is, the health of the hildrcn upon which the wisdom of in- estment depends. Of course the public would be justified in doing this only by ii tue of its expenditure for the child; second, that such a physical Inspection if school children Is not oppressive, but on the contrary most humane Is he conclusion Justified by the results of the examination of over a million school children of the United States. fhls examination showed that 22.5 per- ent of these children had defective yes; 6.3 percent had defective ears, ind 10 percent .had defective throats. To educate these children and to disre. jard their physical condition, upon which their mental development large. y rests, means that many of them bv the time thoir education )s ibout complete if In fact they can ast so long would break down with rcrvous exhaustion or (later In life make up some of the dope fiends or rlmlnnl rlnsses. But, "Doctor" Cook lays to Investigate the physical basis ittho chlids future usefulness, that for the public to take precaution that ts expenditure for education shall not e wasted in. later physical detertora- lon, lsif5esslve. , We believe. It the tate were going to buy 1200,000 worth )f horse every year- that It would provide that thorough examination of he horsen-by; experts ho. made, pre- (.Continued, on Pg Two.)

New, York, Feb. 28 Joseph G, Robin, the "skyrocket financier," on trial for the larceny of $27,000 from the Wash ington Savings Bank, sat like an inert mannikln while the selection of jurors to decide his case- went on today be fore Judge Seabury. At times he smiled Vacantly about the court room, seeming unconscious of the fact that a term In prison depended upon the result of the trial. Even If the Jury acquits him of the charge of larceny, it is understool that former District Attorney Jerome, will ask for his commitment to Hatteawan Asylum as a hopeless paranoiac. There were six jurors in the box "when the trial' was resumed today and with two extra panels ot 200 each from which to draw, it was expected that by Ight the box would be filled. Hobln's sister, Dr. Louise Rabinoviteh sat opposite her brother in court and assisted in the work of choosing the urors, from time to time prompting Attorney Jerome. She was accompan ied by Miss Eckert, her brother's private senographer. The seventh Juror was selected with in half an, hour. The eighth; ninth and tenth jurors were selected before the noon recess was taken -. Jfo Wednesday Morning Reading. .
