BETTING INFLUENCE
During the last few days there has been
posted on the cigar stores where mild"
gambling is INDUCED in, offers OF wagers
Of all sorts of money on Gage The Los
Angeles men ar4 more liberal with their
odds than the San Francisco bettors, but not
SO ready with money. In San Francisco the
best bet that can be obtained is 10 to III
favor of Mcguire. In this city even money
is offered, but it seems hard to get at it.
the state by. 10000 finds no hackers, and
even odds Of $1,000 to $500 that Gage, if
elected at all, which is generally admitted
as most unlikely, will not carry his state
by the majority named, finds no takers.
The old trick of trying to make the offers
out. Some few bets will be made here, but
the "chalked up" odds are generally skim

OUT OF TOWN
SAN BERNARDlNO, Oct. 3l.-The
amount of political work being done in this
county for the present campaign is enor-
nous, both sides having their henchmen on
crs have called in all the candidates from
the outside fields to keep them at home and
devote the balance of the time to this city
Perhaps one reason is the fact that their ar
guments don't doevail in together. One
speaker swings in on the ''single tax as the
only issue OF the campaign, while another
SAYS there is nothing in the ''single tax
| it cuts no ice-but the trouble is all with the
railroad, and that is the only real issue.
| The weakest and most vulnerable candi-
dates on the Republican side are Assembly
man Goff and Assessor Kendall. The for
mer had close fight to get the nomination,
and with such a strong opponent against
| him as f. Z. Meserve OF Redlands, and al
most half of his own party antagonistic
while some of the Republican papers will
not allow his name to be mentioned in their
columns, Golf is travelling an extremely
rough and rocky road.
| Then there is Kendall for assessor, one Of
the most astute leaders his party has had
since Joseph Brown went over to the silver
ranks. He has large following, but he has
n Nemesis on his trail in e. j. Gilbert, who
| for years was the real working head of the
assessors office and knows all the intricate
wheels within wheels of the business He is
| firing hot shot and shell into the Kendall
| camp that promise to land Capt. Robert
Bosworth in the office with the opening OF
a new year. Gilbert is now at work show
ing up the favoritism displayed toward
the large corporations on the assessment
rolls-the Chino sugar works, the San Ber-
nardino hotel and the electric and gas light

of nearly 40. The opposition corraled
about half of them with "a tally-ho ride to

was the principal orator of the evening.
The Independent candidates are out on
the desert and report great success, and are
adding daily to the ranks Of independent
voters, who think and will vote as they
think. The desert, from Kramer to The
Needles, is 2 to for the Independent tick
et. The Republicans claim they have a
majority of 500 in the county out of nearly
1000 voters. They do not give themselves
much leeway, for change of 300 votes
would obliterate even those gauzy figures.
| At the last election there was no contest
on superintendent of schools, Miss Mogeau
going in with votes from all parties, but this
year it is one of the disputed offices, Miss
Lulu Bahr on the Independent ticket being
opposed by Mrs. Auker on the Republican.
| The former is one of the best teachers in
the county, grew up here from childhood,
| got her education in this city, andl is prin-
cipal of the largest graded school in San
Bernardino. Her opponent came from the
east three years ago and secured the Roches-
ter school, the district being run by f. E.
Swanton, and he nominated her for the Of
fice OF superintendent, and, it is whispered,
is to be her deputy, as she is not very we'll
posted on California schools, should she be
elected.
The meeting Tuesday night, in which SEN
ator Perkins and the Americus club of Pas

county completed their tour at Daggett on
