FORT TO RETALEATE
ON ATLANTIC COUNTY.
Failure of Leaders to Deliver
Vote May Result in
Ripper Bill"
Special to the Evening star.l

TRENTON, Aug. 22.-It is said here
as the result of the allegations that
Governor Fort was in a deal with
Republican leaders of Atlantic county
during the campaign of last fall to al
low them to violate the excise law in
return for a majority for him, thai his
hand will be heavily felt in Atlantic
county.
Whether the lid will be put down to-
morrow is a question that cannot be an
swered until tomorrow comes. There
may be a semblance of doing so, at
least, in view of the fact that the special
grand jury Is in session and will re-
convene e week.
The presence Of agents from law and
order societies, acting as watchers, may
also induce some observance Of the law
for the time being.
The belief is hat on the strength of
the conditions exposed In Atlantic City,
and as a matter of retaliation by the
Governor on those Atlantic officials
who accused him of being in the deal
he may strongly urge upon the Legisla-
lure next year the passage of a ripper
bilP' and also a jury commission bill.
the former would allow him to re-
move officials in any part of h State
when he thought them negligent in the
performance of their duties. The latter
would abolish the custom of sheriffs
packing juries with their friends.
As to the "deal' it Is pointed out that
If there was one made, the Atlantic
City officials did not carry out their
end of the bargain. This is proved by
the election returns.
Atlantic county last fall gave Fort
only a plurality of LAO owe Katzen,
bach, his Democratic opponent, who
was running on an "open Sunday
platform. while the Republican Assem-
blyman was given 3,O71. the Senatorial
candidate 1903 and the Congressman
4,26S. Three years ago Governor Stokes
received a plurality of 4,272, and Presi-
dent Roosevelt received 4,871. From
this 1t Is apparent hat the Atlantic
City machine failed to deliver the
goods and reports of a deal of that
kind are generally d~iscredited.
