GOV. HUGHES

ALBANY, May 1.-THE voters of
the one little senatorial district
composed of Orleans AMI Niagara
counties hold in the hollow Of their
hands the fate Of horse racing in
New York state. They will decide
it on May IL by electing success
sor to the late Sen. VIM. Fanchot.
A yearly revenue of millions Of
dollars is at stake. and the race
track people are fighting desperate
ly.
Had Fanchot lived the so-called
anti-betting bills would now be
law. Horse racing would be as
good as dead. His death left only
so members in the senate, and the
vote on the measures stood tie,
rs to 25, which meant their defeat.
w. G. Wallace, the republican
nominee. has declared himself un-
alterably opposed to race track
betting. His candidacy has the per-
sonal Endorsement and support Of
Gov. Hughes. who is pushing the
fight against the betting ring and
has been stumping for Wallace. If
elected Wallace will vote for the
bills in the forthcoming special le-
gislative session
Henry A. Mcmahon, the demo
cratic candidate, says he is "liber-
al" and that explains his position.
He will vote against the bills If
elected. and Gov. Hughes will be
defeated and Inundated in the
most bitter fight of his administra-
ton. Senator Pat" McCarren Is
leading the fight for the race track
interests.
The state grange split about 10
to 1 in favor Of retaining the old
law. The secret of this is that the
agricultural fair societies. under
the state racing commission law,
receive a rakeoff from the money
the victims of racing lose to the
bookmakers.
Against this support for the race
tracks comes the church vote. The
governor has been telling the
farmers that they are taking blood
money. and the churches have
rallied to his standard.
1t Is a life and death struggle for
the race track people. They must
win to exist
After the killing Of the original
bills. representatives of the gam.
bling element in the senate gave an
exhibition Of unholy glee without
parallel in the annals of the state
legislature.
