Gambling league leaves this afternoon
on the V. & T. local for Carson City
where, with other members of the
Anti-Gambling league, he will battle
for the passage of the proposed anti

Secretary Hooper stated that the
league expected the bill to be intro

it was held back as a result of the anti
gambling legislation, but that he is
sure it will be introduced today.
He again states that it will not be
introduced by member of the Washoe
county delegation but by member OF
the delegation of Elko county, in all
probability. He seems to be very con
fident that it will pass. He claims
that there will be several of the league
members in Carson to lobby for the
bill and that he believes it will receive
much more support than its opponents
believe it will.
