In the opinion OF the governor there
Is authority in existing laws to stop
the practice of betting, and he has in
timated that il there is not sufficient
authorizutiun IN the present statures,
he will urge the passage of a bill at the
next session of the legislative TO make
strict laws against betting on games,
lust as there is against horse raclns.
In some cities so much betting has
been going on that the state police have
been watching il, and If district attor-
