TIVE TO PREVENT ILLEGAL RACING
IN INDIANA.
Indianapolis, May Ex-Governor Matthews made
the following statement last evening In regard
TO the effort the State is making to prevent con-
tinuous racing in Lake County
The State believes that the continuous racing. al
though upon separate tracks. is wholly under con-
trol of one association. and this is violation, or
certainly is evasion. OF the law. We have been
considering how best to prevent this understand
that effort has been made. because Of my oppo-
sition the manner Of conducting races at Roby,
to show that have hostility TO all racing. This
is not true doubt II any one gets more real en-
toyment out Of good fair. honest and legitimate
racing than do. but to conduct racing simply as
cloak for gambling purposes alone will bring all
legitimate sport of that kind into il-repute much
TO the injury Of the large class Of citizens engaged
IN breeding horses. 1t Is well known that these
persons about Roby undertaking 10 conduct an
enterprise in Indiana that they are not permitted to
conduct In Chicago. nor in the State Of Illinois:
Indiana does not propose to be the dumping ground
for such associations. All means at the command Of
the State will be used to prevent such violations OF
laws.
