Gilbert A. Pierce and Lyman +. Casey

the house of representatives from this
state, to use all honorable means to Sc
cure the passage OF such laws as are
recommended in the circular OF the anti
lottery league of Louisiana.
Be it resolved. That we acknowledge a
debt of gratitude to Hon. John Miller,
governor of this state, and to those of
his associates in state office who stood
with him in opposing the legallzation
of lotteries in this state, and to those
members of the legislature whose un-
compromising opposition prevented the
passage of the bill to charter a lottery in
this state, the passage of which bill
would have been a disgrace to the first
legislative assembly Of our state, and
would have been not merely a lasting
disgrace, but an incalculable damage to
the state ITSELF
Be it resolved, That we will use our
best endeavors to secure the passage of
an act by the next legislative assembly
and the next one following it, for the
ment to the state constitution forever pro-
hibiting the chartering of lottery compa-
