Every efTort has been made to create the Impression that tha'motive and object of my opposition to the so-called Boykin bill has been In order that soma form of gambling contracts may be permitted. I regret that tha chief spokesman for tha Mil In the house has allowed his seal as a partisan to carry him so far aa to make statements In which he lends himself to the effort b* Ing made to asperse my motives, ob Jecta and Integrity of purpose. He has submitted no proof for these state- menu and has never attempted to se riously debate and answer my argu ments, but has contented himself by Iterating and reiterating that I am only endeavoring to abolish the small gam' bier and that I seek to protect the b!| gambler, and to permit some form ol gambling."
