'AVENOO' RUNS
WIDE OPEN AS
PRIMARY NEARS
Gambling Lid Pops OFF With
Republican Vote Grabbers
Busy Among Negroes.
OLD GAME IS PLAYED

The benign influences Of the approach
of the primaries in which approximately
10000 negroes will have the opportunity
to cast their votes for those who favor
them have "loosened up" Indiana ave-
nue..
Craps games are in full sway, as many
as three being in operation by one negro
gamekeeper.
Once a week, preferably on Saturday
night, the police arrest the keeper and
the players at one of these dives and
threby establish nothing so much as
the fact that they have knowledge Of the
situation
The other games do not shut down.
They continue to operate both before
and after the raids without any appar-
ent fear of molestation by the policemen
assigned to the territory under the d.
rection Of the Flaw enforcement" board
of safety.

LINE THEM Up

And while these colored men are roll
ing the bones and otherwise amusing
! themselves in direct violation Of the laws
of the state the political workers of the
republican party are busy along the
''avenoo" lining up the gamekeepers and
other negroes of more or less influences
for the republican candidates.
The representatives of the city admin
| istration, such as Bull Moose Walker
and r. E. Lancaster, are not particular
about what kind Of a story they give
the negroes as long as they can get as
B surances OF support for their men"
Walker is even going so far as to put
out the word that Ralph Lemcke, the
republican candidate for treasurer, has
broken" with Mayor Jewett, the pros
! pective successor of Merrill Moores, and
1t attempting to line up the negroes for
Lemcke, regardless of whether or not
they are favorable to Jewett.
1t is an old trick well played, among
the republican politicians to go to GER
tain well-known gamblers and tell them
that things "can be fixed for them to
make a little on the side" in return for
the support of themselves and their
friends.
Made brave by the assurances of the
politicians that they will not be mo-
Tested. these negroes start their games
and run theA almost openly while the
police. either by connivance or through
the interference Of some other influence,
turn their backs on the performance

The police force has been fairly busy
the last week trying to protect a ne

sons. In the interval the gamblers have
been having the time Of their lives.
+ Several months ago It was not regard

night. More recently the number OF
"pinches' has been reduced to one or two

numerous than ever

"favors" when he takes office.
