Thompson and the other racetrack people are
crashing their teeth because they last winter
seated Hoffman, the Republican senator OF
Atlantic County. He makes the majority OF
one that the Republicans will have In the next
| Senate and he can be counted on to vote right
for every party measure, while he Will az the
same time be powerleSs to do anything .or his
friends OF the turf.
The racetrack agitation showed most effec-
lively in Monmouth, Union and Hudson counties,
where four Of the six racetracks are located.
Camden AMI Passaic, where the other two tracks
are located were also strongly Republican, though
the success of Flynn and Thompson mars the
| delight Of the agitators in those two counties.
1t Is possible that Flynn may be unseated, as
he has no legal residence In Passaic County. 1t
Is also possible that. since the courts are no

may be made to suffer for some Of the many
crimes of which he is known to be guilty.

as he Ia known to have used money to defeat
| Democratic Assembymen who voted against his
racetrack bills.
Among the greatest surprises Of the election
was the Republican majority In Sussex County,
which has been the most answering OF all
counties OF the State in devotion to Democratic
candidates.
The next Senate will have a number of men of
marked ability among its members, including
| Voorhees, Of Union, Bradley of Monmouth Ket-
| cham Of Essex and Thompson of Somerset 1t
may be said here. on the authority OF leading
Republicans of the State that the course Of
| the party will be conservative and with due
regard to the fact that the election was a peo-
pies victory spirit of fairness will control It,
