and careful study Of the subject, we
came to the conclusion that perhaps
an increase of lotteries would not in
crease the number Of victims; would
not multiply the number OF those who
are deluded into buying tickets, while
it certainly would destroy the great
power of the great Louisiana State
Lottery monopoly. We would no, be
understood though as favoring the
chartering Of lotteries, though we had
about got our consent 10 submit quiet

least that i, would not do more harm
than good, as long as the State was
