and Johnson Odds On
By GEORGE A. VAN SMITH

the book maker, opened a real money
betting on the republican gubernato-
rial race yesterday by laying $4,000
against $50 that Nat Emery would not
win the nomination.
After swapping up the first offer of
genuine money on the sheet written
by him last week sor The Call, Daroux
renewed his offer of $4,000 to $1,000
against Anderson and heightened the
favorite odds demanded on both Curry
and Johnson. While he offered to lay
$4,000 to $1,000 against Anderson, he
made both Curry and Johnson to 8
favorites by offering to lay $1,000 to
$500 against either.
~sHOWS Up" DAROUX
The 100 TO 1 bet and the renewal of
the offer Of to ] against Anderson
were made yesterday noon at the Pal
ace. Jack" Mccarthy, who is cam
paign and publicity manager for Ell
Iery. was thoroughly miffed by the
publication of the odds offered by Da-
roux and in which McCarthy's hope
figured as a 100 10 / shot. Yesterday
he spied Daroux in the Palace lobby
and promptly announced that he would
show up the book maker His open
ing remarks to DarouX were met with
You're on for $4,000. SON..
When Mccarthy partially regained
his breath he declared that he would
like 10 take few millions at that
price. but that he had left his roll
under the front porch. If DarouX
i'm for few minutes he
ack and make the book
is ankles getting away
he kind of money that
he grocery man. Nc
roe ing trip did not produce
aIvv, out ne came back with $50, against
which DarouN laid $1,000 without a
wink.
PROMISES COMMISSION
In response to AIcCarthy's promise to
get another $50 later, Daroux said to
l5lIery's manager and the little crowd
OF Anderson men who were interested
spectators: "Au right. [ think / ought
To give YOU a commission on this bet.
After / win il from you. I'll give you
SIS for your trouble. And now 1 am
offering $1,000 TO $1,000 that Alden An
derson will not be nominated for gov
ernor, and ] win lay $1,000 to $l,50O
against either Curry or Johnson"
The offer Of ; to ! against their man
crowd Of Anderson men. which included
virtually all of the machine leaders
who gather at the Palace daily for con-
sultatiOn and consolation. AS a mat
ter Of cold fact there is little money
offered on any OF the candidates, and
long odds have failed to coax out any
Anderson money:
WANT EVEN MONEY
There are many occasional bettors
chances of success and some who want
TO bet that Johnson will be in front
when the primary votes are counted
They are not the kind of bettors that
are willing to lay 81 or IS to win 81
They want to bet A few dollars or a
. few hundred dollars that the man of
their choice viii win with an equal
number Of dollars laid or some other
candidate or on the field. A typical
wager is that offered by L. ]. Dwyer Of
p. Sacramento. Dwyer wants to lay $3.50
or more on Curry and viii be grateful
10 the man who viii place his money.
Ills statement OF his proposition is that
he has $3.50 or more TO bet that Curry
viii be the next governor. That is the
way the occasional Johnson hacker puts
his proposition. Most of them know
nothing of percentages. They might
make bets If Curry men met Johnson
. men. but neither has a chance of get
ring Anderson money.
Dick Ferris, the Los Angeles candi-
date for republican nomination for lieu
tenant governor took his first flyer at
San Francisco yesterday. Ferris broke
into the race at the eleventh hour. but
his candidacy has been so enthusias-
tically received in southern California
that he believes he can win if he can
get something like an even break in
northern California. Ferris intends to
week he will open a systematic cam
paign in San Francisco and he purposes
TO make a personal canvass of northern
California.
FERRIS CONFIDENT
Il am in this fight to win,' said Fer
Tis last night. Il am in il because
believe the people should take an in
sursnce policy upon their governor and
because I believe that if elected 1 can
co something with that Office for the
benefit of the people. All too fire.
ouently the people center all their in
terest in their candidate for governor,
acting apparently with the idea that
any old thing viii do for lieutenant
governor. That is the sort of thing
they very frequently get The Office of
lieutenant governor is one of the high
est importance. The affairs of the
state may devolve upon the lieutenant
should be a man who measures up to
those responsibilities not a mere po-
liticsl Job chaser. 1 hope to be nomi-
mated. If 1 am nominated my cam
paign for election will be a man to
man canvass of the state. I will learn
what the people want and as lieutenant
= governor I will appoint the kind of
senate committees that will give the
people what they want"
