There was a time when the public be
lleved that the odds for or against a can

politician* say that belief was completely
exploded In 1132 when no one who made
a wager suspected the Democratic land
slide which occurred. Another popular be
lief filrout electson betting Is vigorously
denied by the leaders and campaign man
ager* on both sides, that Is the Impression
that national committees use money to
make wager# with a view to Influencing
those hesitating and uncertain voters who
Want to be on the winning side. In answer
to this the men who conduct campaigns
say they never have enough money to
pay *h legitimate expenses of campaign
work, and therefore cannot afford to di
vert any of their funds Into pools or
wagsrs.
Nevertheless politicians know well the
Influence that the sight of actual money
put up to back an opinion on result
of the elnrtlon has on a certain class of
minds, and they take advantage of this
where It Is possible lo do so without ex
pending campaign funds necessary tor

the political councils of his party heard
that a certain business man of the party
Intended to wag e several thousand dol
lars on the result of the election. He
sent for the business man and asked If It
was true.
"I've got the money ready." said the
latter, "all I'm waiting for now Is to sec
If tho odds change. Then I’ll put It up In
tig amounts or small."
"Don't put It up here." said the politi
cal manager.
"Why notr* asked tha other In sur

"Because U won't do us any good This
I* a sure state. Take It to so and so." He
named one of the states for which both
parties are making a desperate struggle
"But I probably can't get up so big a
sum In that state."
"All the better.” said Ihe politician. "If
■you can't then take It somewhere else,
but the showing of that much money 'o
bet will do us a lot of good there "
All professional stakeholders agree that
most of the electlop betting so called Is
pure bluff. Some men seek temporary no
toriety by announcing that they
made large bets on the result of the elec
tion, others by the statement that they
are ready to wager a largo sura. The lat
ter have a way of disappearing when
men with money are looking for them.

friend who asked him recently for some
facts about these wagers he eald that he
had made on’y one bet on an election In

very small amount. He also said that he
had never held stakes or arranged any
large wager on the result of an election.
Men who gamble and hold stakes in
