ELECTION
BETTING
IS $40 W
Coolidge odds On Favor
tie in Wall St,
WagerS,
By Times Special


NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-Wall ST.,
where bets can always be place on
horse races or prize fights, on base
ball games or on presidential con-
tests, is wary about placing its coin
on the approaching election.
Coolidge is an odds on" favorite
to win, but there is little money be
ing placed with the bookmakers, or
elf-styled betting commissioners"
At the present time Coolidge is a
to 1 favorite to win out in Novem-
Der, with odds at to 1 and 5 to /,
that the election will not be thrown
into the House of Representatives.
In comparison to the amount of
money that has been bet in past
campaigns. the betting commission
ers report slack business this year.
The explanation is made that in the
present campaign there are more
unknown factors and that the men
who bet for q living" are waiting
until they have a little more to go on
before risking their money.
Usually Right"
Frequently the odds on candidates
have been completely reversed
during the month of October. On
election eve. Wall Street has usually
been right" with the notable ex-
ception of 1916 when Hughes re-
manned the betting favorite until two
days after the votes had actually
been cast.
That Wall Street dopesters can he
wrong is evidenced by the fact that
one bettor offered $4,000 to 81 900
that Hughes had been elected a few
hours after the polls closd. A
theatrical producer took the bet.
In 1920 Harding was the favorite
from the start and ruled a 6 TO fav-
orite on election eve. In 1916
Hughes who was a to 1 favorite
over Wilson at the beginning OF Oc-
tober, fell to a 8 to 4 favorite just
before election.
Wilson was the favorite over both
Roosevelt and Taft throughout the
1912 campaign. the odds fluctuating
from to / to TO /.
Taft Favorite
In 1908 Taft was a > to l favorite
over Bryan in September and a Z to
favorite on election eve. II 1894
Roosevelt was to 1 favorite over
Parker early in the campaign and
rose to a to / favorite early in No
vember.
Throughout the 1900 campaign the
odds favored Mckinley TO defeat
Bryan. the prevailing odds on elec-
ton eve being about to 1. In 1898
Bryan was an early favorite in the
betting. but as the campaign became
warmer. and Hanna made Roadway
with his full dinner pail propa-
ganda, the odds switched heavily to
Mckinley's favor.
When Cleveland ran against Har-
rison in 1892. Harrison was the fav-
orite in the betting until late IN the
campaign. when Cleveland money
came forth in abundance and the
odds went to 3 to 2 In Cleveland
favor before election.
Thus in the last eight campaigns
Wall Street has rather accurately
forecast the elections with the ex-
Ception of 1915. However. early in
the campaigns Wall Street has poem
wrong nearly as often as il has been
right. the month Of October having
frequntly seen the reversal Of odds.

OITner OIlCeQ states senator tELe-
publican) from Minnesota
T~7HARLES G. DAWES part in
the Lorimer bank swindle
S makes it impossible for hon
est citizens to vote for him as Re-
publican vice presidential nominee.
The only excuse offered for Dawes
action, namely, that it is a common
practice between bankers in Illinois,
I regard as a SANDER upon reputable
banks. If it is true that any banks
in Illinois or elsewhere resort to
such methods it is a condition dan
eerous to the public welfare, and
to the security Of property.
The Endorsement of Dawes by the
banking interests and the denunci-
alton of La Toilette by certain bank
ers because he opposes such prac-
tices, proves that the people must
take matters into their own hands
and check those who try to evade
the law
Bankers, Of all persons. are sup
posed to be meticulOusly careful
about financial transactions They
are, when the public is doing the
transacting, but between themselves.
they support Dawes, proven cheat.
"Why Shouldn't II"
The defense" Of Dawes is like
the one pickpockets and other criml-
nails commonly use in police court.
They say "Everybody's doing 1t. why
shouldn't 7? All the other pickpock-
cts work that way"
This may look all right to the
plcl<pocket. but to the victim. and
to the thousands who lost their saw
ings when the Lorimer bank blew
up. 1t is somewhat different.
Briefly, the Lorimer bank story
is this:
In 1912 United States Senator
Lorimer, who was kicked out Of the
Senate. was president Of a national
bank in Chicago so shaky that 1t
was about TO bust.
Lorimer decided to switch over
10 state charter and have a State
bank.
Under the law he had to exhibit
the total claimed capital and sur
plus. $3.50 600. in cash and his oanl1
officers had to swear the cash he
longed to the bank, unincunnbered
and for use in the banking business
Lorimer didn't have the money.
Trust Co. President
Dawes was president Of the Cen.
trail Trust Company Of Chicago and
his cousin was the cashier.
Lorimer asked Dawes TO help him
out
Dawes did.
The State auditor was taken 10 the
Dawes bank and was handed 81
$50 900 in cash, being told fat it be
longed to the Lorimer bank.
The auditor handed Lorimer his
permit 10 open his bank and the
money was put back into the Dawes
bank vaults.
Lorimer's bank. started on the
foundation Of this lie soon failed and
1000 depositors were losers,
The receiver of the Lorimer bank
discoV cred the Dawes Lorimer trans
action and sued Dawes bank for
the money it had said belonged to
Lormer.
The case went 70 the Supreme
Court Of Illinois twice and twice
the Supreme Court and all the in
terme5iate courts decided that the
Dawes bank must help pay the Lori
mer depositors.
The directors Of Dawes bank
pleaded in court that they had not
authorized the transaction and that
President Dawes and his cousin. the
cashier, had no authority TO do such
thing
But the court said the acts OF
the two Daweses were binding.

PARCO-RAWLINS
TO AGAIN PLAY
SUNDAY, MONDAY

The last two games of a five game
baseball series will be played Sun
day and Monday afternoons at the
Rawlins diamond between the Parco
Oil Cans and the Rawlins baseball
team. Three games have already
been played between these two teams
the Oil Cans winning two of them
and Rawlins one-the smoke will fly
and teeth will be ground when these
teams meet again next Sunday and
Monday afternoons.
1t is rumored, and the rumor
comes from a very authentic source,
that the Oil Cans have strengthened
their already heavy-hiting team and
will be in a position to give the
Rawlins team a terrible battle. Not
to be out-done, the Rawlins team has
greatly strengthened its fast playing,

hard hitting team. The rivalry be-
tween these W teams is very pro-
nounced and like the other three
games the games on Sunday and
Monday should be w%orld-beaters.
Goldie Morrison and Miller will start
the game for Rawlins. Miller has
been seen in action several times
in this section and he is known to be
exceptionally good, thus the Rawlins
fans can be assured of two wonder
full games which will begin at three
o'clock on the Rawlins field on sun
day and Monday. August 31st and

paid no heed to 1t and continued to
go backward. Warner turned aside

poles extended far to the rear of the
car. On the left side of the car
there numerous odds and ends
which stuck out in all directions; on
the back OF the car a bed spring had
been tied on with old timer tubes
and the spring extended about a
foot on each side of the car.

SCHOOL WILL
OPEN MONDAY
: SEPTEMBER 7

Considerable work is going on in
the Central school building in prepar-
alton for the opening of school which
will start this year on Monday, Sept.
9Th. Most of the teachers will ar
rive In Rawlins on Saturday and will
then attend the Teachers Institute
which is being held at Medicine Bow
Lodge during the week September
LIST to 5th.
Because ct the crowded conditions
of the RI riils schools at the present
time it was necessary to renovate the
Central STOOL building and to util-
ize every bit of available space that
could be found. The library has been
moved to the third floor in order that
1t might be close to the junior and
and senior high school assembly
rooms. The superintendent, the
ktary's offices have been combined in
to one office room and has been
moved into the room formerly oc-
cupied by the Commercial room.
The M m ercia room, the
old one being too small for the stu
dents Of this subject, has been moved
into the basement next to the science
rOom-the room which was former
ly occupied as the history room, this
move being made So that the one
period classes might be nearer the
assembly rooms. The former princi-
pals room is being used for the
normal training room. The 3rd,-5th
grade occupy what was the former
first grade room and the 3rd-6th in
the former library room. An addi-
tional kindergarten has been put in
the west basement room of the West
ward school for which Miss Frances
Phelan has been selected as in~struc-
tor and Miss Dorothy Zingsheim has
been elected to assist Miss Bowlus in
the Central school kindergarten.
A few other minor changes are
beng made, the gymnasium and the
senior high school have been painted
and the entire outside woodwork
and metal work on the Contra school
has been painted. Play ground equip
ment has been placed on the grounds
of the South ward school. A new
temporary school building which will
hold approximately 100 pupils is now
ready for use, the seats having been
put in on Tuesday. The attic is be-
ing used for a storing room for
books and supplies.
Superintendent Coleman has been
exceptionally busy this week in his
work connected with the school and
Mr.. Louis Ringwalt. principal Of the
high school. has been working TO get
in readiness for the OPEN
ing Of school on the eighth.

Coffee Can Soldering
Outfit Comes in Handy
BY C. e. GAGE

The following suggestion is made
for the benefit of those who. like N.Y.
self, do not care to invest q couple of
dollars in an electric soldering iron.
1t works like a charm and will take
any soldering iron from the 10-cent
store variety up. This soldering out
fit is made as follows: A coffee can
should be obtained which has been put
together without solder. BY means of
"A pair of tin ships or heavy pair of
shears, a strip is removed from the
can about 21a inches wide. The closed
end of the can should have or 10
holes punched in it. Two holes are
also punched in the top of the can
and piece of wire inserted in the
form of loop shown in the drawing
as D. The heating element may con-
sist of an ordinary can of solicited
alcohol, but it is advisable to make a
small alcohol stove for. this purpose.
A small can, such as is used for
canned heat, Is obtained and is packed
full with cotton batting. A disk of
wire screen or netting Is then forced
under the rim of the can. The cotton
