NASHVILLE, Tenn, September 27.-
The campaign in Tennessee to all ap-
rearanceS will be an active one. The
Republicans have already launched
their State campaign, Capt. Thomas
F. Peck, candidate for governor hav-
ing snoken September 20 at Dayton.
and Judge H. B. Lindsay, candidate
for United States Senator. having
opened Wednesday at Smithville
tary of Labor, is scheduled for speech
in Chattanooga in the interest of the
national ticket. and Charles G.. Dawes
will speak in Memphis on october 2.
The Democrats will start their
campaign next Saturday, October 4,
when Gov. Austin Peay, candidate for
reelection, will open at Murfrees-
boro. Gen. Lawrence ID. Tyson, can
didate for United States Senator, and
Harvey H. Hannah, candidate for
railroad commissioner. will speak on
October 6, the former in west Ten
nessee, and the latter at Smithville.
During the past week the La Fol-

in the field by convention here
called by a committee representing
the Tennessee Federation of Labor
and the railway brotherhoods. The
convention also named a campaign

ing State candidates.
Tennessee went for Harding for
President in 1920, the first time since
reconstruction days, and the coming
of member of the Cabinet into the
State to speak early in the campaign
is taken to indicate that the G. o. P
is planning to duplicate the perform
ance of 1920 If possible making a
fight for the election of both State
and national tickets.
John w. Davis is probably the most
popular Democrat of national size in
public life, from the Tennessee view
point, and his nomination by the
New York convention effectually
silenced the murmurings here over
the course Of that memorable body.
Coolidge hardly enjoys as wide
spread a popularity in Tennessee as
his Democratic opponent, but judg-

NEW YORK. September 27.-Bet-
ting odds are generally taken as the
best Indication of probable results in
presidential campaigns. Some half
dozen firms here make a business of
receiving and placing bets. and many
of the principal banking houses call
up thcSe firms daily to secure in
formation on the betting trend.
Experts say that when odds are
more than two to one in Il CzLmpai ign
the favored candidate IS practically
certain to win. A comparison of
betting odds in the last four presi-
Dental campaigns with results of the
elections subgtantiates this opinion.
Odds In Four Elccthpns.
The following shows election re-
suits and range Of betting odds on
principal candidates in the last four
elections:
192O-Republican. 16.152 200; Dem

Roosevelt received 4.126,o2O votes
in 1912.
In the present campaign odds
were 8 to . in favor of Coolidge
prior to the conventions. Odds then
increased to to l and are now
3 to !. Bets are also being made
with odds of to 1 that the cleo
tiou will not be thrown into Con-
gress.
1t is estimated that so per cent OF
the bets that are staked come from
New York sources. although this does
not mean that all of the money comes
from here. as some of it may be put
up by outsiders through brokerage
firms
The remaining 20 per cent comes
from all parts of the country.
Amounts Staked.
The 1916 campaign was a record
breaker for closeness and the amount
of money staked. Between $4,000 900
and S10.000.000 was Staked in that
year. About s5.00O.000 was put up
in 1920. and it is estimated that from
s5.000,O00 to s10.000,000 will be placed
this year. of which S2,000,000 already

Ten.Minute Talks Made Before
-. Academy of Sciences.

Ceaf, bHusnfneus and anthracite, In
Its various phases Of production,
transportation, cost. profit. ETC.. was
discussed, Before the meeting OF the
Washington Academy OF Sciences. at
the Cosmos Club last night. Ten
minute talks were given by Charles
Otis FSmith, on "Coal, a National
Issue; Charles P. Neill, Miners
Wages and Earnings"; David L.
Wing Operators Costs and Profits;
H."Foster5 Balm. Safety and Mine
Output; S. G. Tryon, "Overdevelop-
meHt, Its Cure" and o. II. Wood,
Consumers Economics"
ExpIains7 Varying OF Wages. -
Mr. Neill explained the varying
wages received by miners, saying
that the amount the individual earns
depends on his skill as a miner. He
said that prior to 1910 the consumer
was getting coal very much too
cheap and were not entitled to 1t
encounter and for which they re-
ceived from IL to 90 cents per hour
The cost of production. as pointed
out by Mr.. Balm, should not be
measured in terms of dollars and
cents, but rather in loss Of life and
disability to the miners. He said
the reason for a greater loss of life
IN the mines OF this country over
that of other countries was due to
The speeding-up process.
Mr. Balm said that If the restric-
ton on immigration is continued.
thus curtailfng the supply of a class
OF workmen willing to undertake the
more or less hazardous task, a newer
and greater decentralization under
ground must take place.
CmreS fox Anv~rd
In suggesting cures for overdevel-
prevention of strikes was the chief
actor to be considered. The govern
ment should continue to exercise a
scientific inquiry into mining condi-
lions, he said, and legislation should
be enacted to govern fuel produc-
ton.
The need for economy in the use Of
heat was stressed by Mr.. Hood. He
compared the thrifty use of heat by
Europeans as against the extravagant
methods employed in this country.
lie described the many devices in use
by the large manufacturers and rail-
roads for the utilization of all the
heat possible to be gotten out of coal,
while again, he said, there are equal
y as many furnace and boiler at
tachments supposed to economize on
heat that are nothing more than or
namentS.
Discusses Production Cost.
Mr.. Wing explained the reasons for
duction in mines located in the same
range. This, he said. can be ascribed
to a number of causes, such as de-
Hclency or management, the age and
cepth OF the mine, amount and weight
OF timber required, etc.
Mining conditions in Great Britain
also were discussed and compared
with conditions in this country.
