The Governor Addresses the Attorney
General Relative to lotteries.
Governor Waterman yesterday received
the following letter from Charles PaTiange,
Chairman of the Democratic Anti Lottery
State Executive Committee of louisiana:
To HIS ErceVency, r " Wuiermqa, Gorernor Of
California. We are engaged in this State in a
life and death contest with the Louisiana Lot
terry Company. The struggle is not for ourselves
alone, but fol all cur sister States, which are
made tributary to this lottery company, in
sum exceeding, doubtless, twenty-five millions
of dollars annually. The fight is for your State
as well as for our own. We are doing all that
men can do, sparing no effort RENTING no Ia
Dor, to destroy the common enemy. We urgently
appeal to your EXcelleney to help us. Congress
has. with promptness and unanimity, closed the
United States mails against the lottery in
answer to our appeal This is a severe blow,
but the gigantic gambling monopoly still lives.
II announces in the publ prints agents
Wanted Everywhere" Ii states publicly that
it will now answer correspondents and carry on
its traffic by means of the express companies. 1t
further advertises that after its drawings, Off
cial lists of prizes can be obtained from the
express agents by all holders of tickets.
Whether the United States Government will
permit them to carry out these announcements
the near future will disclose. But in the mean
time the states have 1t in their power to destroy
this great evil within the next thirty days.
Forty-two states In the Union, including your
own have penal statutes against the selling of
lottery tickets, ETC. The humiliation of the
lottery company would promptly follow the
vigorous enforcement of those laws
We appeal to your Excellency with al our
earnestness to assist us in oar struggle for our
selves and for our country, by causing the laws
of your State against lotteries TO be vigorously
and stricly enforced.
We know you viii pardon our urgency in con-
sideration of the magnitude of our object. We
would be greatly houored and encouraged by a
reply from you
THE GOVERNORS REPLY.
Immediately upon receipt of the above,
Governor Waterman addressed the follow
ing Letter 10 Attorney General Johnson:
Dear Sir: The laws on our ssstute books rela-
tive 10 lotteries are sufficiently strong, provided
they are n,oreed by the proper law oihcers OF
the State They should be enforced, and
therefore direct that il your capacity and ai-
thoiity as Attorney General Of the State, the
District Attorneys of the different counties OF
the State be informed as to what constitutes
their duty ia the premises and put an end, with
ali the legal machinery at their command, to
the vile practice of buying and selling OF lottery
tickets of all kinds now being carried on in this
