heavy blow. Editorially. the
Advocate says:
The state of New York has
an anti-race track gambling law
which according to the gamblers,
has made Saratoga the one dead
town in the Uuited States
And now the sportmen of
this 'one dead town are asking
for local option race track laws;
that is, for pool selling and bet
ting privileges.
They say: The residents of
Saratoga want racing; they live
on it and must have it; and when
a community wants anything 1t
generally gets it. In matters
such as racing, cities ought to
have the privilege of local option
just as many cities have it in the
matter of the sale of liquor.
Why should a thriving village,
as Saratoga has been. be com
pletely ruined because the peo-
PIE of other parts of the state
have the privilege of ,legisiating
for it?
Sure enough, why?
But if the sporting elemenz
of Saratoga did not believe that
by local option they could secure
the return Of open horse racine.
they would not ask Tor local OPP
ton.
II looks as # the devils CO.
horts in general will want local
option whenever they think they
can carry the day for any devil
try.
