The RACETRACK GANGs-NO PROSPECT
THAT JOCKEY CLUBS WILL OPEN
THEIR GATES.
Sensational stories in regard to racing in New
Jersey are extensively circulated every day. There
are many changes in the rumors which are ahoat
At first the tracks were to open on February a.
When that rumor died out March l was chosen
as the opening day.
..The situation in New Jersey is just this said
n Democratic office-hoder from the interior Of the
State Yesterday. Eve Democrats have been voting
the ticket year in and year out and have carried
the State just we pleased. There Is plenty OF
fat offices all over the State, and good Democrat
holds forth in every office Three millions OF dollars
are paid in salaries every year TO Democratic once
holders who could hold the Offices year In and year
out if it not for the racing crowd VINO nave
ruined the Democratic party in the state. we
office holders don't intend to stand any more non
sense from such men Billy Thompson, Denny
Mclaughlin. and the gang OF assorted gamblers
who have gained control Of the New-Jersey race
tracks If Jim Smith, OF Newark. interferes we
will just give him touch Of the HE 0f privat,e
citizen. and let him see how 1t feels we are sicK
and tired OF the whole racetrack crowd. They have
turned the state upside down couu naye
been effectuay settled years ago ana racing woud
have been of politics. but Leon ADbett JuSs..u
with the racctrack question in the interest OF the
Hudson County gangs and now the whole Staee
Is up in arms agains; the whole racetracK gam.
10 our Offices. but II the racetrack gang inter
fercs rs all UP with us Now, II the democrats .,
key business there are 5000 Democrats in the State
willing to 30 10 Trenton ana teach theih
a lesson. There will be racing in New Jersey
this year. no matter what the political bosses say
bosses when they get their backs up. Ask Allen
McDermott or Denny Mclaughlin what they think
me. an ofice-holder, sick to think Of it. At pres
ent IL looks If We are going 10 loose our ofces
and as If the gang that caused all our troubles
will be compelled 10 close their racetracks.
Others say much bitterer things about the race
Jersey racetracks say that not one of the tracks
intended to race or open its gates until after the
Legislature should adjourn without legslating on
account of the deadlock in the Senate. Some OF
the leading Democrats who from the interior
of the state say that IL would be better for the
entire party If the Senate organized at once as
the deadlock is looked upon as racetrack con-
spracy TO defeat the viii OF the people as ex-
pressed in the November election.
IL is possible that the racetrack crowd may
hear something drop next week, as large num-
Der OF Democrats intend 10 visit Trenton for the
purpose OF expressing their opinions the race
track question. The members OF the racetrack
gang are all at sea as to what course to pursue
politicai boss OF Denny" McIaughlin's STAMP
10 realize that-to use the remark OF OF his
friends-"he is not deuce In a dirty poker deck. /"
as far as political power is concerned
G. c. Walbaum feels that the racetracls in New
Jersey are doomed unless miracle saves
them, and this is not the age Of miracles Peter
De Lacey is preparing 10 attack the Union and
Monmouth County tracks should they attempt to
open their gates there. The chances OF racing in
New-Jersey are exceedingly slim.
