THE HOSPITAL BOARD ELECTION
TO THE EDITOR Sir, —It was very gratifying to myself to see that many Hospital patients were interested in my candidature for the board. I feel that they are entitled to know why I am not selected for the Citizens’ League ticket and who appoint the league. The Citizens’ League, I understand, is composed of about six self-appointed persons who have done no more for this city than make a good living for themselves. After the last election I received a request, from them for £3. This seemed to me to savour of “Tammany ’ methods, which have done so much to smirch political life in America. I wish to see our fair land free from this contemptible kind of business, and will not be a party to their methods. I challenge the league to discuss, either through the press or on the public platform, my work on the Hospital Board during the past 12 years.—l am, etc., April 28. J. W. Scuer.
