born in Germany In 1912, and came
to this country when he was 10 years
of age. When the young German
landed In New York he had little ed

good mechanic, having learned
the trade OF cigar.maker in
his native land. He went to

Mr.. Plotke Is not ashamed of the fact
that here, too, he worked at the
bench, making cigars, and that he
was u union cigar maker and never
anything else. For twenty years he
studied and practiced law in the office
Of L. G. Cooper. It was In 1871 that
Mr.. PlOtke was admitted to the bar,
where he has made an excellent
record.
In 1880 he was sent to the Legisla.

venti0ns are In no apparent hurry to

particularly true OF the senatorial

lay is deplored by the county and

ground that 1t deranges the

SIX TRACKS MAY LIE IDLE.

Matters as Before.
Guttenburg Omcials Timid Because
of the New Sheriff.

There seems every prospect that six
splendid racing properties in New Jer-
sey will not be used next season. Jus
tlce Lippincott has declared thai the
Parker laws, or at least that portion Of
them relating to licenses. are unconstitu-
tional and therefore void. This praeti-
cally places matters where they were
before last Winter and brings the race
tracks under the head OF disorderly
houses.
Justice Lippincott carefully refrained
from touching on the question Of racing
and betting. His opinion IL confined to
the license subject and II says that the
Legislature had no right to give certain
municipalities privileges. The license
clause. being part OF the Parker laws,
necessarily makes the act nuil and void.

vantage OF the decision to reopen and
race under the old plan. The Guttenburg

Seeing that nearly all OF the Republi-

to vote against race-track measures, the

he narrowed his ambition down, until at

nothing that was great, until now, when
