Resolution On Gambling
May 1890


Believing that gambling in all its forms is demoralizing to our people, and that the Louisiana Lottery is an evil of great magnitude, and having learned that the charter of the iniquitous concern will soon expire unless renewed; therefore,

RESOLVED, That we extend our hearty sympathy to the good people of Louisiana in their struggle to rid themselves of this great curse by preventing its renewal, and that we bid them God speed and pledge them the moral sanction of this Convention.
