A Sick Man’s Vote Defeats Gamblers

THAT the effort of a sick man, in casting his legislative vote, killed the hopes of the race-track gamblers of New York State last June, was flashed by telegraph throughout the country the day the victory was won. Whether his effort would cost him his life was not known at the time. He recovered; but he has never before told his own story of that day, and of the stirring events that led up to it. The story is now published, for the first time, exclusively in The Sunday School Times of February 20, for which journal the heroic legislator, the Hon. Otto G. Foelker, has written it.
