The last legislature put the ban on
race track gambling in this state. By
desperate efforts, and through means
with which this class of gentlemen are
familiar, the bill was amended to be.

next session of the legislature PaIpably

have the matter brought before another
assembly of the states representatives,
in the hope that majority of the
members could be so controlled or Gin

nullify or modify its provisions as TO rem

whether the track gamblers have Suf-

driven from its confines, and they will
