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."
