onstration Expected

Theodore A. Bell will be the, next
governor of California.
This is the belief of the betting ele-
ment, which seldom bets on the wrong
man in state and national elections.
According to reports from the north.
wagers are freely being made at 100 to
80 in favor of Bell. with Gillett money
becoming scarce.
Yesterday a letter was received by a
local politician from a Republican
friend in Sacramento stating that the
odds there were in favor of Bell and
that the general feeling among the
state house people and residents gener-
ally is that Bell will be elected and that
he will carry greater portion If not all
of the Democratic ticl.et with him.
The letter states that even with the
figures at 100 to 80 there is little Re-
publican money in sight, and that the
Republicans are beginning to demand
better Odds
Local Democrats expect that the bet
ting here will open at the same figure,
as that represents about the feeling as
to the chances of the respective NOM
inees for governor.
