PAGE EIGHT IF DEMOCRATS PICK FORD, WALL STREET BETS HE’LL BEAT COOLIDGE Bill WHSERS ALREADY BEIHG PUT ON RESULT OF COSINE ELECTM $400,000 Bet That Henry Ford Will Not Be Next President LARGE SUMS ARE PLACED Many Posible Candidates On Several Tickets Fi-mre In Street’s Betting Odds BY ALEXANDER HERMAN N. AE Service Staff Writer (Copyright, 1923, by NEA Service) NEW YORK, Novembr r 21. —This is what the big bettors of Wall Street think of the forth coming presidential election: 1. President Coolidge is an odds-on favorite not only for the Republican nomination, but nomination, and 1 to 2 on elec tor election —1 to 3 on the tion. 2. Ford is the only man who is believed to have a chance of defeating Coolidge btu he must get the Democratic nomi nation to do it, 3. The odds against Ford’s get ting the Democratic nomination are 4 to 1. 4. But if Ford is the Democrat ic nominee, he will become the odds-on favorite against Coolidge at 2 to 3. 5. If, however, Ford runs on u third ticket, Ford and Coolidge will be at even money; with the odds in each case .it 2 to 3 against the field, and the Democratic nominee running 5 to 1. These vieWs do not necessarily re fleet the political sentiment of Wall Street, but they do reflect its bet ting judgment as voiced by Jean De Chadenedes, a Wall Street broker who, together with his brother Guy, have handled some of the largest political bets made dur ing the past ten years. > Many uig wagers have already been made, the largest being a bet of $406,000 that Henry Ford will not be the next president. Lloyds of London has taken the long of the bet, by issuing two policies of $200,000 insuring his defeat; and a big western operator who has won millions in his time, is covering the short end by paying the premium of $38,000. Other heavy wagers are under way. And Wall Street, which be lieves itself to be the pulse not only of Big Business, but National Fob ties, is beginning to perk up inter est in the election. “As the stock market forecasts future business conditions,” said De Chadenedes in an exclusive in terview with NEA Service for the Tnnes-Recorder, “just so does Wall street predict the political situa tion.

I For politicians and editors are in-| fluenced by their own personal likes, or by party loyalty, they I may form faulty conclusions by j constantly associating with their ; own political kind. But not so with the bettor. He weighs every su’-; nation and forms his judgment I without being influenced by any-, thing except hard facts. And he i backs his judgment accordingly.” I There has been a tihgtening oil the odds since the first money cm' the campaign appeared in Wall Street M.;c July. I Andrew W. Mellon, James E I Watson, Henry Cabot Lodge and, Nathan L. Miller, former governor of New York, appeared among the leading Republicans. But they are not among the leading 12, either for the nomination or electio nin j the list now. Among the Democrats Carter: Glass, Bainbridge Colby, Senator ( Edward T. Edwards and Josephus I Daniels have dropped I It is expected that the odds will close up further as the time of the nominating conventions draw near. “It isn’t human nature,” says De Chadenei|rs, “to start big bet t’ng when the decision as to >vho will be the respective candidates is still very much clouded] But i betting interest will soon start pick- I ing up. I think that this campaign ' will probably set a record for bet-I ting. “A greater interest is shown on | the possibilities for the nominations ■ than ever before. I “Hughes, next to Coolidge, ] seems to be the strongest Repub-, lican possibility, with Gifford Pin chot, Herbert Hoover and Hiram Johnson, almost as strong. The , shade between them is so small that, it isn’t reflected in their odds. “Among the Democrats McAdoo and Senator Samuel M. Ralston. I whose strength seems to be increas ing steadily, seem to have the best chance among the regulars. “Ford is the unknown f’.ctor. But the odds on him are closing io rapidly. They were about 11 1 when the $400,000 bet was made; and now they are 4-1. Cox, Al Smith and SSenator Underwood are close behind.” Betting Odds in Wall Street on Nominations REPUBLICANS DEMOCRATS ' Calvin Coolidge 1-2 William G. McAdoo 6-1 "harles E.
