FAIR VIEW OF IT.

fFrom the Newark Evening News"
At the election of yesterday the voters
Of New Jersey-at least those of them
who went to the polis-rejected two Ger
tainiy, and probably all three OF tie pro-
posed constitutional amendments SUBJ
mitted to the electors.
OF course the interest of the election
centred in the fate of the -anti-gambling
amendment. 1t is probable that before
long many citizens OF New Jersey who
voted against that proposition or did not
vote 1T all. Will regret that they failed to
lend it their support. The result OF yes
t4rdayss voting will be cited by the pro-
n~riefors Of the race tracks and by all the
snteresfs allied with theirs as testimony
that the people OF New Jersey want the
race. track gambling establishments re-
onened. At any time when these men
think thai they see the slightest chance
of success they will endeavor TO obtain
fr.endly legislation. To this election
ukverv legislator who may lend them his
Inauence. bought or bestowed in the
Friendship OF a kindred spirit. will point
a. his justification. All the local author
Ties Of counties in which, as in Hudson
and Monmouth, gambling establishments
hav received liberation. will claim that
the betrayal of the law Is obedient to pub
NJ sentiment whenever failure occurs TO
arrest gamblers or to indict them upon
unimpeachable evidence.
But these will be u~nfounded claims.
IN defeat Of the amendment does not
mean that the majority of the voters of
New Jersey or those who yesterday cast
adverse ballots are in favor Of restoring
the prohigacy and robbery under the
e,ise of sport which received license and
federation / from the Legislature Of 1893
The licensing Of race track gambling
brought about a pDlitical revolution in
New Jersey, and d fate k that which
was melted out to the Democratic party
