The act creating the State Racing
Commission was drawn as a result of
a meeting held in our office in the old
Herald building, and as we recall at
tended by Thos. c. Mcdowell, Catesby
Woodford, Johnson N. Camden, Charles
McMeeldn, Jouett Shouse, then editor
Of the Kentucky Farmer and Breeder,
nected with Churchill Downs was in
vited to the meeting nor advised of its
purpose. John I. Shelby and John r.
Allen were engaged to draw the act
which was supported by all the breed
ers of the State, and passed by prac-
tically unanimous vote of both houses
Of the Legislature.
The purpose Of the act was to pre-
vent a continuation Of such conditions
as were incident to the ownership Of
race tracks by Mr.. Bruce's clients. II
provided:
"rhe said commission shall have the
power to prescribe the rules, regula-
lions and conditions under which run
ming races shall be conducted in this
| State"
Celia, TILES and Adler had control
! of the Latonia track and of Douglas
Park. Regardless of the interests Of
racing, they had purchased Douglas
Park and revealed their purpose to
have conflicting oates with Churchill
Downs and to conduct long meetings,
as they did in Missouri. Mr.. Bruce
apparently attempts to put the basis
of the suit In which he tried to have
/ the State Racing Commission declared
unconstitutional on the ground that
4, The State Racing Commission was
created to kill Douglas Park.
We avow that it was the desire Of
, all the men connected with the move
ment to have State Racing Commits
sion to remedy such conditions as
existed at every track under the con-
troll Of Mr.. Bruce's clients. We were
J then-as we are now-opposed tn
/ a bucket-shop bookmaking combination
controlling race tracks In Ken
lucky; we were opposed then. as we
are now, to a syndicate book robbing
the public and framing up races.
1t Is provided in the act that Mr..
Bruce's clients tried to have declared
unconstitutional:
provided. That refusal Of the
commission to grant any racing ssso-
ciation q license or TO assign any rae
ing association at least forty days. II
/ desired, shall he subject 30 the review
of the courts Of the State"
But Celia, TILES and Adler were
not satisfied with this provision. They
wanted the whole act declared uncon-
stitutional, for that act--though IL
may not be known TO Mr.. Bruce. who
knows so little, as revealed In his coui-
munich tion today-provides:
.Said commission shall have the
power to prescribe the rules, reguls-
tions and conditions under which run
ming races shall be conducted In, this
State"
Under that provision the State Rae
ing Commission has the power to pro-
hiblt bookmakinc on its tracks and
