AN INFLUENTIAL DEMOCRATIC PAPER WILL NOT
SUPPORT THE NEw-JERsEY TICKET.
Long Branch. Nov. (SpeciaD-This corner of
Monmouth County for the last week has been
the scene of of the most relentless crusades
against the Monmouth Park Racecourse manage
ment and its political followers that the present
campaign has yet developed and the dash and
ferceness of the attacks by the Citizens League
upon the apologsts and open supporters Of legal
ICED gambling has been continuous to drive
the demoralized Democracy to cover shattered
and disnayed beyond the possibility of their
leaders ability reform their lines for a
weak return of fire in open field.

the county-have broken away from their party
because OF the attitude OF the leaders in forcing
upon them a ticket made up Of avowed supporters
OF the racetrack legislation of last winter, and

champions of good government

frightened and seek shelter behind vilifcations
threats and intimidation. The hot shot that is
being poured into them from the platform and the
columns of free and unpurchasable press is max

these unworthy leaders find their old arts dip

purposes in years past, and Il consequence
