Illinois Legislature
Favors Horse Racing
(Springfield, III., Nov. 17. While the
official tabulation of votes cast 1 pro
gressing slowly In the office of the
secretary of state, due to the tardi
ness of the country districts in report
ing, there is no doubt that the lib
erals have made record gains In the
membership of the Illinois general
awsemhly. The legislature convening
in January will be the most friendly
to the sports-loving people of the state
of any of its predecessors for many
years.
In official circles here tho opinion
prevails (hat the revival of thorough
bred horse racing stands more than
an even chance of receiving legisla
tive encouragement. If the down-
staters are convinced that racing Is
really to the benefit of the agricul
turallsts and the breeding Industry,
the sport will undoubtedly find tho
legislature kindly disposed.
