But money this time is not making
the customary volume of sound. and
the fact is worth attention. Sporting
resorts are not crowded with visitors
seeking investments. Wagers are not
as numerous or as large as usual Only
a few bets suggest the good old

There need be no surprise at this. A
situation confusing to many politicians
necessarily confuses many gamblers.
They cannot read things through the
haze. They are wondering what is pos

in the interests of the democrats, and
democrats there running In the inter-

are candidates running apparently
without any object at all.
Ordinarily, the remark might be made
that we shall all see things in palmer
light after Tuesday. But. as these are
not ordinary times. we may not. The
election returns may not clear the
atmosphere. The haze may continue
to envelop the whole surroundings.
Certain it is that while the war lasts
great uneasiness will continue in this
country as to what a day may bring
forth for us: and necessarily our &C
tons as a nation must conform to what
appears to be the immediate national
