SUSPENSION OF OUTLAW RACING NOT THE

ME suspension of racing at Iron Hill has created impress

L curse is at an end in county.
Asa natural consequence, many citizens disposed
to relax their warfare upon these invaders the community
But the sincere opponents of track gambling should not
be deceived into the belief that it end in Cecil county
Lack of patronage due partly to the operation of egiti
mate tracks elsewhere but mainly to the exceptional OF
the management has brought about temporary suspension Of the
sport here.
This rottennes of management persisted in the point
disgusting the public and destroying the business would indicate
the condition that compelled the suspension
The management wish their racing privileges under
the law for more profitable season-his fall and winter
But this desire does fully explain the sudden closing
down of the tracks at this particular time.
The collapse of the racing at Iron Hill conoued very
lively with the Of the date OF the party primaries
Was this accidental?
1t certainly striking coincidence.
The welknown shrewdness and methods Of the outlaw
gamblers, and their INSCRIPTIONS utilization of all
to their ends would strongly Indicate that this suspension
of racing, timely as it was has purpose.
That purpose ull suspicion, to aay fears and dis
courage agitation and through the apparent abatement
lead those opposed to it to their vigilance

gss and sponsors to fix the ticket in their favor
To this end it doubtless hoped and intended that
in the community many followers
distressed penniess and unable to their debts would appeal
to popular sympathy and reaction of feeling their
favor which might register itself at the primaries
But the suspicion OF this purpose should be resoutey
resented by the voters Of the county.
That resentment should shape itself into the
crusade nor against these invaders of our county
Every voter should closely investigate every who seeks

So long that law exists outlaw racing in county and
with its fell brood of evils is unlimited its profit

We are in danger until the legislative destroys the evil
tree.
Therefore, racing racing the citizens Cecil county
should with unreXng vigilance and pausees purpose

election after that at Annapolis resting until the
signature has validity the legislation shall redeem
Cecil county from its destroyer.
