luenced by one common purpose-to regis
ter their disapproval of outlawed race track
gambling, now practiced and sanctioned by
law in the county, and to discuss the hest
methods to suppress the evil.
The resolutions passed by the convention
outline the method to be adopted to secure
this end.
Basing their request upon the popular
recognition of the evil, that they as good
citizens wish to abate, they simply ask the
great body of their fellow citizens of Cecil
county who were not at the convention, to
use their personal influence, irrespective of
partizan politics, in securing only such
nominees for the Legislature this year, as
are known to be unequivocally and unre-
servedly opposed to all forms of race track
gambling in Cecil county. and who will
use every honorable endeavor, to secure the
passage of law absolutely prohibiting it
in the county.
The issue is plain one, but it involves
the good name of our county, and the good
order and good morals of every community
in it.
