SURPRISE EXPRESSED
THAT ANTI-GAMBLING
MEASURE WAS KILLED

Good Government supporters ex-
pressed surprise yesterday that the
initiative ordinance placed on the bal
lot through the efforts of the Church
Federation to prohibit gambling for
merchandise, especially shaking dice
for cigars had been defeated.
1t had been cOnCededJ that if the
Good Government ticket won any con-
siderable victory this ordinance would
be approved by the people and when
it was learned that Good Government
candidates had made a clean sweep
the surprise that the dice shaking ordi-
nance was lost was all the greater.
Several explanations were advanced
to account for this, but the most
plausible seem to be, aside from the
suppOsitiOn that the majority of the
voters did not want the ordinance to
become a law, was the peculiar word
ing of the proposition as it appeared
on the ballot.
The proposition that would have car
ried the ordinance read:
For the ordinance against keeping,
or permitting to be kept, places for
playing certain games and prohibiting
the playing or betting at such games"
The alternative was:
against the ordinance against keep-
ing or permitting to be kept, places for
playing certain games and prohibiting
the playing or betting at such games"
1t is supposed that a number of vot-
ers noticing the first proposition as
for the ordinance" believed that to be
the ordinance legalizing dice shaking
and voted the alternative, against
the ordinance" in order to assist in
preventing the very thing they actu-
ally helped by their ballots.
