Anti Gambling Amendment.

The following proposed amendment to
the Constitution of the State of New
Jersey having been passed by two con-
secutive Legislatures of this State. is now
submitted to the people for adoption or
rejection
No lottery shall be authorized by the
Legislature or otherwise in this State {;
aud no ticket in any lottery shall be
bought or sold within this state, nor shall
pool-selling, book making or gambling
of any kind be authorized or allowed
within this State, nor shall any gam
bling device, practice or game of chance
now prohibited by law be legalized, or
provided therefor be in any way d.
minished.
The submission of this amendment is
the outcome of determined purpose
and prolonged effort on the part of
thousands of good citizens OF New Jersey
to rid the State forever of the evils of
gambling upon race tracks, which have
so disgraced it in the past.
If this amendment receives, at the ap-
preaching election, majority of the
votes cast, this purpose will be most
effectually accomplished. If it is de-
| feated, not only will all thus far gained
be lost, but the reactionary effect OF such
defeat will surely bring upon our State
all the evils of the past in multiplied
form and increased magnitude. The pos
sibility of such defeat exists not in the
fact that a majority of the voters of New
Jersey are in favor of restoring race track
gam bling, butt the apathy and over
confidence ofthe friends of the amend
ment. 1t is, therefore, of the utmost i'm
portance that every friend of this amend
ment who has vote to cast should real
ize his personal responsibility in this
matter, so that he shall be spared in case
of its defeat vain regret for having
neglected to do bis duty.
Rest assured, you who are in sympathy
with this effort to secure a great and
| pei iLduCuI lSIOlLl. IDdI lu6 OWDGrS OF
the race tracks and the gamblers-being
brought now to the last ditch in the long
battle-will not surrender without a Sc.
vere-although it may be a hidden
effort to compass the defeat of this
amendment. They have the incentive
of self interest, the control of large funds.
and, to certain extent, large influence.
The State Citizens League makes
therefore, this its final appeal to the cit
izens of New Jersey-men and women-
to arouse anew their former interest il
this great reform; to give heart, and
hand and voice to the work of gettine
out strong vote, and over and above al
do we earnestly entreat every qualified
voter who believes that race track gam
bling is essentially, and has proven itsel
to be. curse to our fair commonwealth
not to fail to cast his ballot for the above
amendment on the 29th day of thi
month. We are confident that if th
shall be done a great and glorious victor,
awaits our cause.

Tuesday morning in open court a
