Chanler Supporters Want odds Before
 Placing Wagers.
 New York, Oct. 2s.-A large amount of Hughes money was offered to-day in the financial district at even money, against Chanler, but scarcely any Chanler money was to be had ex- cept at concessions.
 A few small bets were reported at 10 to 9 on Hughes-probahl S2,o00 or s3,0o0 in all-during the first half of the day. It was asserted that $5o.- 900 to s100,000 was available for the Hughes end, provided the terms were satisfactory It was the impression that the republican national commit tee could tell something, if it would, about this.
 Naturally, exact data were scarce. because of the aversion of most per sons to seeking trouble for violating the snti-bettng law. Stock Exchange betting authorities continued to be as well informed as ever, however and anybody who really wanted to place a large or small bet did not need to go unaccommodated very long A sly wink. and motion to "come this way and say nothing" soon put per- son wise"

Not since the days when George
W. Smith beat Congressman John Il
Thomas. has such a magnificent cam
paign been made as that which
Mayor George Parsons has made in
the present contest. Then the issue
was the same as now, Congressman
Smith against the political machine"
which Capt Thomas had built up;
bur there was not then any such ma.
chine as that which Congressman
Smith left when he died. TO assume
complete control of the political af-
fairs Of the people and manage them
with little or no regard for the peo-
Piles wishes. When the people lined
up behind Congressman Smith TO r'd
themselves of the Thomas machine,
there was no postmasters oligarchy,
no ring of bosses had dared to go so
far as to actually NOMINATE a can
didate for congress, as did this uns
lucky thirteen last February, The
people of this congressional district
have now a stronger reason than
they have ever had before. the strong,
est reason that any people can have
to rise in their might and assert their
rights. Today is their opportunity To
adopt a Declaration OF independence,
be side which that OF 177G is different
onls In its broader field and effect.
