To the Voters of Cecil County.

As the time is fixed for the Democratic
| primaries. it is OF the utmost moment that
the voters Of Cecil county should understand
| the Importance Of one vital issue now before
| the people, and TO be determined by their
| votes IN the selection of candidates for the
next General Assembly Of Maryland. This
issue is the question-shall the horse race
| gambling be permitted to continue its demon
alizing traffic in the county. or shall it be
suppressed by legislative enactment: This
| issue is made and and cannot be ignored or
| thrust aside by political parties. Our appeal
| is to the people, and if necessary, from the
politicians to the people. We appeal to the
We appeal to fathers, husbands and brothers
to come to the rescue Of our citizens and
deliver US from this accursed traffic in human
souls and bodies. We do not exaggeratr. the
facts are before our eyes and cannot tie de-
MED. We challenge any one in this com
munity to come forward and defend these
racing organizations and their ncfariOus
business. 1t has not an element of good in
it; and what no man dare defend has no
reason or right to be. much less to be under
the protection Of law. Whilst we are writing
this appeal Elkton is filled with the stranded
followers of these suspended race gamblers.
For lack of patronage they have been com
PEELED to close their racing for time ana
scores Cf men and boys are now without en-
ployment and without money They cannot
even get away or pay their debts. They are
the victims OF the law which sanctions such
otherwise outlawed racing. This law must
be repealed and law forbidding race track
gambling passed.
10 order that this may be done. we ask the
voters at the primaries to select only such
delegates to their county convention as are
known to be opposed to these race tracks,
and can be relied upon to nominate candi-
dates for the legislature trust worthy and I'M

napolis in the winter of 1896, and they. or
their agents will be there in $685. Our rep

cion and not pledged but to be trusted with
out pledges. Thus only can we hope to free
orr county from these gamblers and their
business.
