to stamp out the evil which is mrk-
ing Maryland conspicuous. and
shamefully conspicuous in tho eyes
Of the nation" said the Governor.

fragrant gambling that had driven
horse racing from New York and
other States.

I'VE we're unsuccessful in our ap-
reals 10 the courts TO check race
track gambling in this State. and now
4 is realized that the only sure means
to remedy the OWL Is by legislation.
II cannot say what form the pro-
posed bill viii take but this much
is certain, it will prohibit bookmak,
ing in every sense Of the word
From many sources It has been
brought to the Governors attention
that tho greed Of those who control
certain tracks in Maryland is respcn-
sihle for making naltimore the racing
centre for gamblers from all sections
