LOUISVILLE, Ky., November 3.— “Hoss" racing, that ancient and hon- orable Kentucky sport, suddenly has its home State by the ears and tled in knots over that vital question whether to bet or not to bet when this betting is pldced on an organized business basis. Candidates for governor are coming down the home stretch in the hottest political race this State has seen in vears, run largely on that question. And_the Democrats figure that their candidate, former Gov. J. C. W. Beck- ham, will win in a walk when they cross the finish line in next Tues- day’s election. He opposes specially privileged race track gambling. Threaten to Move Derby. But the Republicans, running Judge Flem D. Sampson, supported by the powerful Kentucky Jockey Club, have a different slant. They are them- selves in a race for self-preservation, and are threatening to shut up shop and take the Kentucky Derby to Chi- cago if Beckham wins. That prospect, they feel, will cause a majority to vote for Sampson. Everybody, Democrat and Repub- lican alike, is a friend to the Kentucky thoroughbred. They're all proud of the State's horseflesh royalty. And nobody kicks about a continuance of the sport of kings. But the Democrats are out to break what they term an iron grip which the rich Kentucky Jockey Club has taken on State poli- tics. ~Before striking at pari-mutuel setting—organized race track betting— they hope to break down this political strength. How the issue stacks up is described by Candidate Beckham. ~I emphatically favor repeal of the THE '=£=9_~._———-—-_.._———-__————' o COMMITTEE IS PLANNED.

Where the governor has a whip- hand, though, is in appointment of a racing commission which controls the sport, by setting track dates, approv- ing jockeys, establishing purses and regulating the size of the ‘“‘take-out” from the gambling money. This threat causes the Jockey Club to assert that it will pull out of Kentucky and shut down its tracks, if the people select Beckham. The Republicans say: Threat Is Scoffed. “The candidate, Beckham, brings nothing save the pledge that he will destroy the pari-mutuel law. His elec- tion means the end of racing in Kentucky, the end of Derby day for Louisville and the end of Churchill Downs.” . Derby day has been run at Churchill Downs for 53 consecutive years now, and the thought of its removal to Illinois is counted upon by Repub- licans to attract Kentucky votes. This threat is pooh-poohed by the Democrats. To take the Kentucky Derby to Chicago would be like trying to put the label on Chicago moonshine and expect it to be old Kentucky bour- bon, they tell the Republicans. But both sides want the world to know that there isn’t meform issue involved. Kentucky has “open” Sun- days, it killed in jigtime an anti- evolution bill, and is reputed to be liberal in other lines. Trouble grows out of the political control claimed to be exercised by the Jockey Club, through a use of its wealth. Political Meddling Charged. The club supposedly earns between $1,500,000 and $2,000,000 a year through pari-mutuel betting and opera- tion of tracks. . The claim is that it spent about $500,000 in the primary election this year, backing favorable candidates. “It is not the horse breeding in- dustry that has caused all this trouble in the politics of Kentucky—but rather those who are getting a big rake-off from the take-out on pari- mutuel gambling machines and a few high-hat millionaires from New York, Chicago and Florida, who have come to Kentucky to set up the great- est gambling institution in all the world.” That's the statement of Robert H. Lucas, collector of internal revenue for this district, and a Repub- lican candidate for governor in the primary, who was defeated. Out of all the fireworks has come a bitter old-fashioned knockodnw and drag-out political battle. Kentucky's thoroughbreds all have their eyes turned toward Tuesday, with a hot race in prospect.
