Va.: "In the. program ef legislation which the Republican leaders, with the assistance of Charles S. Whitman, governor-elect, have been mapping out for the last ten days there is nothing, nor will there be anything, which can bo coustrued as hostile to the sport of horse racing. This subject has had the most careful consideration, and, although considerable pressure is expected from the law and order leagues and reform organizations which hold racing in abhorrence, it is the opinion of the party leaders that the situation does not call for furthe restrictive legislation."
