Thomas NJ. Ferguson, saloon man:
wherever CANT thing is carried on there is
always money in circulation. But l do
not say that am in favor OF what gam
blers would call a wide-open town. L be-
iieve that gam bling should be legalized-
licensed Everybody CANDLES in one way
or another Even life itself is more or
less a gamble, and l believe that as long
as the race lasts gam bling will be one OF
its wees"
Tom E. Mcdonald, saloon and sportin e
man: Naturally, ! am IN favor OF a
wide-open town. l believe closed
town is always dull town. Allow GAM
bling in legitimate way in San Fran
cisco and it will be the most prosperous
town IN the world, for the reason that
those who WIN money at games OF chance
spend it like princes"
John Herget young MitchelD: II be-
lieve that gambling in a restricted form
is benefit to the town. L would not
change the present conditions. GamDIing
goes on now in limited way and the
police are alert to see that nothing wrong
is carried out. California has always had
the reputation of being liberal State and
l believe it has been OF advantage to US.
Tom Shaw of the Bouquet saloon: ~
am in favor of an open Town so lar as
gam bling is concerned. | believe 1t would
improve business. 1t would bring money
want TO gamble be is not required to. /

lection 10 others gambling.
Jesse Marks, saloon man: 81 do not
gamble myself and, of course, 1 am not
competent TO pass an opinion upon the
question"
County Clerk Curry: az am opposed to
gambling on general principles because
believe that more young men have been
ruined by this vice than by all the others
put together. Still the poor man has as
much right to his game of poker as the
rich. l am opposed, however, to any
proposition to run the town wide open.' !"
Alex Truman: 81 have been in this town
for thirty-fve years, and have seen it
wide open and closed. as they say. and i
never thought that gambling made it
prosperous Only those who draw
down are prosperous. 1t is not to the in
terest of the people to have gambling in
their midst. l know that Chief Lees
would suppress ali gambling, even the
poker games. il he could get convictions
of The offenders in the courts"
