Governor Hughes of New York
Sends Special Message
To Legislature.
BOOKMAKING is ILLEGAL.
TAIN STANDARDS OF THRIFT
AND INDUSTRY AND SAFE
GUARD MORALS OF THE YOUTH

Albany, n. Y. June Ex-Governor
Hughes sent to the extra session Of the
legislature last night his long antici-
pated special message recommending
for consideration the enactment of
suitable legislation for the prevention
of race track gambling He also
recommends the enactment Of "S1lit@-
Bile legislation with regard to diseases
of cattle especially tuberculosis.
Forty five enatOrs- more than
quorum-werc in their seats when the
roll was called, but Senator FoelAer
was not present. His vote is appar-
emily Of the utmost importance to the
fate Of the anti-gambling legislation.
The issue has been clearly present
ed says Governor Hughes to the leg
islature, "whcthcr the interests OF
those who wish to maintain gambling
privileges at race tracks shall be con
sidered paramount TO the constitution
of the state 1t is an issue which has
been clearly defined and is fully appre-
ciatcd by the people
Only lIIumned the Issue.
The governor declares that the fail
ure of the Agnew-Hart bills by 4 tie
vote in the senate at the regular eos
sion should not be regarded as decisive
but served only "to illumine the issue
and to make still more clear the nature
of the test it involves. Nor can the
question be finally disposed Of save by
vindicating the honor of the state and
by demonstrating that there is no pow
er. however strong or interruptions,
which can be permitted to override tie
will of the people as expressed by the
law"
AS to whatever may have been the
suppOsit.On as to the suffiCiency of the
penalty prescribed for race track gam
bling by the present PerCy-Gray law,
the governor says:
There can be no illusion about the
matter at the present time. So long
as the fOrmalities of the statute gre
complied with, bOOkmaling at the race
tracks. maintained under authority OF
law. continues as a tavOritC legislation
instead Of being under an appropriate
ben. These Offenses upon race tracks
have been made a favored category
with an exclusive penalty. BOOkmak-
ing elsewhere is a CRIME, but upon
race tracks under the prescribed cOndl
tons it is not a crime. All provisions
of the criminal law which might 9th.
erwise touch it are rendered inapplica
bic. The prohibition OF the eXamina
ton is made a farce.
Duty 10 Provide Remedy.
1t is within the power and 1t Is tnt
duty Of the legislature to provide ;
remedy.
we desire to maintain the stand
ards of thrift and industry and to safe
guard the morals of Our youth from
those unnecessary temptations which
exist by reason of the discrimination
of the present law If we are to lCav
our institutions in their integrity cn
our growing population is to cherisl
the guarantee which protects the RICH
of property and the rewards of homes
endeavOr. we can not permit'the sole
/ tatiOnS of ayarice to triumph over IN
command of the constitution"
