California Race-Track Gambling Law

By Editor

The proposed race-track gambling law now before the people of California, to be submitted November 5, has not, it is stated, one newspaper in California in favor of it, or at least that has expressed itself in favor of the proposed law. No political party has endorsed it, and "legitimate sportsmen" and their publications are repudiating it, while various organizations are forming for its defeat. There is a great deal of exhortation to people to arise and defeat it, but it really would seem as if it were defeated in advance. Certainly it ought to be.
