ANTI-GAMBLING AMENDMENT HOLDS.
Case Decided by the New Jersey Court of
Last Resort

TRENTON, n. j., June 1o-The Court OF
Errors and Appeals. in an opinion by Justice
Dixon this afternoon. affirmed the decision Of
the Supreme Court unfolding the consttu-
tionality Of the anti-gambling amendment to
the Constitution. Such hopes. therefore, as
the racetrack people cherished that the courts
would ultimately decide against the amend
ment are dashed to the ground. and If there
shall ever be horseracnG in New Jersey again
the sport will have to be conducted without
bookmaking and poolselling.
The lawyers for the racetrack men argued
that on account OF the number OF rejected bal
lots less than n majority OF those who voted
were recorded in favor of the amendment but
the court overthrow their contention saving:
Although the number Of names on the poll
lists may represent the number OF qualified
electors who attempted to vote and the re-
Jected ballots may all have been official ballots
cast by some OF the qualified electors still IL
may be that not all Of those qualified electors
voted In the constitutional sense and that the
rejected ballots were not votes. In the alb
sence OF evidence to the contrary, the pre-
sumption is that the election officers acted
rightly. and. therefore. that the rejected bal
lots were rejected for legal cause and were not
votes for or against any amendment: that all
the votes legally capable OF being counted for
or against the lottery amendment were 14O-
OS3. and that only so many qualified electors
and ratified II ."
