Harry Kramer Asks Inquiry Into Gambling and'Uso of Police Powers BAIRD'S SWAY. IS SCORED BY INDEPENDENT CHIEFS People Denied Voice in Picking Candidates, Is Charge Made. Try to BreaK Si ate Colonel Harry O. Kramer, of Cam dcD, railed today fur Ml iliirsfigntloii of gambling conditions, the lino of police In polities nntl the "dock-like lifrrl don" with wlijeli the voto to recorded In certain districts in Camden -county. the colonel's statements were prompted by DnvIuVBa'ird's open letter en the subject of political copdltiousin Camden. . , He also suggested tbat Mr. Baird'a praise of tlie low- tax rote might be more than counter-balanced by tbe blgb val uation put npou property. Colonel Kramer, u lawyer, who co operated witb Provost MnrMiul General Croudcr iu tbo writing and working out of the selective draft regulations and who was cliosen for city clerk by the committee of one hundred and later re moicd by the Republican organization, declared that the Camden machine was a one-man organization. "Mr. Unlrd." lie said, "is without doubt the entire Republican organiza tion." People Are Denl'fl Voice Colonel Kramer raid thai the people did not have n cjiuuce in the matter of naming candidates. Not only that, lie said, but they did not even know for whom they would have n chance to vote until such time as Mr. Baird saw fit to take them Into tils confidence. Mr. Pnlrd's word, in short, the colonel in dicated, is the nominating power for Camden. " One direct result of tbe publication of the Ilitlrd letter is the hint that inde pendents may joon mnhc on effort to break the grip of the Balrd niachiuc on Camden county. Camden Independents were particu larly interested In Mr. Tlnlrd's attack on the committee of one hundred of 1SI7 ind 18'JS, for the reason thnt the Balrd raacliluc, nt that time, virtually swal lowed up the officials elected liv that in dependent committee and made them u part of the "machine." 'The only time," wrote Mr. Baird, "that Qamden Was corrupt was ove'r two dren!cb,HJOt.,ybn the reformers cheated their wav into" oflieo through the com mittee of one hundred and rouucilmcn ucrc foj sale from $5 up. That regime lasted two yearn, and the paving and other jobs perpetrated almost bank rupted the city." Kramer Defend Rrformcrs Answering Mr. BairdV attack on the committee of one hundred. Colonel Kra mer gave this record of the officials elated by thnt Independent eoro.nJttec : "Cooper B. 1 Intel) . who was elected major, was afterward promoted to the position of sheriff through the efforts of Jlr.
