The petition declares tho police court had no Juj i.Allctlon to try a case of criminal libel. nor Include them was because the great est source of evil resulting from gam bling in futures arises from stock gam bling, and I did not care to complicate that question by including the others, lest I would thereby Jeopardize my chances of securing any legislation. "When you come to deal with wheat, cotton, corn, etc., it would require a very carefully drawn and ejuite an ex tensive bill and even with those who would agree or at least pretend to agreo to the principle Involved, there would be a wide difference of opinion as to th language necessary nnd the result would be that I would secure nothing. It. tlicrefore. seemed to me that the wiser plan would be to take up one subject at a time. If I can succeed in preventing or curtailing stock gambling, we can then take up the other matters. It may occur of course that in the considera tion of the matter there will be thosa who will wish to include gambling in other futures In which case I will glad ly welcome an amendment for that purpose."
