Straw Votes and Betting Odds.
"Who is going to win the election?"

Who is gong to win the election!
With the Presidential campaign practically
complete, this question today is foremost in the
minds Of the American people. Newspapers, poll,
tcians, hnanciers and others have exhausted all
available means of ascertaining in advance the de-
cision of the nations voters and about the only
point which all seem to agree is that the result
is going to be very close.
However, the straw votes and the betting odds
furnish interesting speculation There seems to be
less confidence in straw votes than in the betting
odds and the reason for this may be found in the
following special dispatch from New York, pub
lished in The Washington Herald on Thursday
morning:
Wall Street wager records show that in the
last thirty-six years the odds on Presidential
candidates in the week preceding election have
always picked the winner
1t is also curious fact that only once in
the last thirty-six years have the odds on
candidate at first favored fallen, and that time
the candidate lost the election.
This was in 1888, when the odds on Cleve-
land dropped from 10 to to 10 to to even
money, and then to 10 to on Harrison. Har-
rison won. The odds on Mr.. Hughes have
fallen from I-2 to I.
Going back thirty-six years to I88o-the
Presidential contest was between Garfield Re-
publican and Hancock, Democrat. Garfield
was a strong favorite all during the campaign,
with some fluctuations in the betting, and won
the election.
In 1884, in the neck-and-neck fight between
Cleveland and Blaine, the bets at even
money up to election day.
In the famous three-cornered campaign of
1912, when Wilson, Democrat; Taft, Republi-
can, and Roosevelt, Progressive, were the can
didates, the odds in Wall Street always
long on Wilson. He started out 2-to-I favor
lite after the placing of the third ticket
in the field. In the week before election the
odds were to and 3 to I on Wilson to win.
These facts highly interesting in view of
the betting in the present campaign. Shortly after
the nominations were made the betting ran 2, IL
and 3 to Mr.. Hughes. Then as the Republican
nominee began campaigning these odds began to
drop and the few who had placed bets at to I on
Mr.. Hughes began to worry. The odds continued
to drop until about week or ten days ago some
few large bets were made at even money. How
ever, the odds held rather firmly at 10 to 8 and
10 to on Mr.. Hughes.
The Washington Herald yesterday received a
dispatch from New York quoting Wall Street odds
at o'clock in the afternoon at 10 to and 10 to
6 I-2 on Mr.. Hughes. If the odds on Mr.. Hughes
continue to increase in the next three four days
as they have in the last week. the day before cleo
tion probably will see bets placed again at 2 to
on the Republican nominee.
Therefore the believer in betting odds as an
indication of the final result may we'll forecast a
landslide for Mr.. Hughes, but the man who has
as much faith in straw votes as in betting odds
will hold to the opinion that the race will be very
close, with Mr.. Hughes slightly the favorite.
The Washington herald., 1916-11-04

In consensus of opinion of the country at large,
Mr.. Hughes gubernatoral career marked him out
who would reach the White House if his
ambition pointed that way. When the rapproche-
ment Of the Republican and Progressive parties
appeared inevitable, when there was need of a
candidate whom each could support but whom
neither could dominate, who would appeal to inde-
pendent Democrats dissatisfied with Mr.. Wilson,
there was never doubt on whom the choice would
fall And the reasons that dictated the choice
are as conclusive today as they were last August,
when men of all parties approved it the wisest
that could be made.-Baltimore News

As the campaign draws toward its close it
seems evident that all along the line, in nation,
State and county, the Republicans are conducting
vigorous offensive, while the Democrats are con-
Nationally of course this attitude on the part of
the Democrats is in way the natural one as they
are in possession of the field now, and the Repub-
licans, if they would win must dislodge them.
Nevertheless making allowances for this the fact
remains that the Republicans are making the
strong affirmative movement, against which the
Democrats only are putting up such resistance as
they may-Appleton Post

Let the young voter understand that the one

whether he shall eat the bread of poverty during
the years of his expanding manhood or whether
he shall eat the bread of prosperity. If he votes
the Democrats into power he will sanction the
policy of an open door for the cheap labor prod
ucts of Europe. He will sanction the closing of
the door for the importation of the raw materials
