TaleThe The Democrats were afraid they said The Democrats had given up all hope of carrying Utah for or Bryan It was impossible to get one of them to take a bet at even money Yes Mc lIc McKinley lIcK Kinley K was sure to win now All the theD Democrats D who had money were afraid to put up a cent The rhe names of gentle gentlemen men who by b the way never bet b t a cent centon centon centon on an election were cited in support of the masterpiece And so as the lords of the hennery henne began ega proclaiming the advent of the dawn the young men finished their tale and hunted a Test rest they deemed well earned Yesterday morning while the young men still till slept the story stor got abroad A few citizens read it in the columns of ot the suburban contemporary More were told of it by their neighbors and friends From mouth to mouth it sped To some Democrats the story storys seemed emed s entirely too good to be true To Ta them it seemed impossible that any man or r men allowed to wander at large would offer to bet that McKin McKinley McKinley ley Icy would carry carl the state But it transpired that the wasat wasat was wasat at least l ast half trie truc One of the boys bos really did have Had he been beena a prince with limitless patronage at his command he have been sought more snore eagerly or treated with more deference than he was for about twenty ty tv minutes after he came down town It Ii tech him about that long to get his money up Began to Weaken But this is going too fast It took hint him that long to get up about At this point he began to weaken That last itO 0 looked mighty big to him al at although although though the money mone had been turned over to him by Colonel Lannan the widely known editor of the suburban contemporary He began to demand odds A young man him hun with a wager of 5 at odds of 5 to 3 Then the joshing got so strong that he was fairly shanghaied into putting up u uthe the remaining 47 41 on an even basis It really was touching to see the way wa the Democrats went after that money They all alt declared it was like Jike getting a registered r letter from home One man who got of it was looked upon as rather hoggish until he shared the wager equally with witha a friend There was nothing but money offered throughout the afternoon that Bryan would carry carr Utah After the man quit which was almost before he really reany be began began begun gan gun people still stilt followed him about asking him if he please go goback goback goback back to where he got his 00 and dig up a whole lot more of the same kind One Democrat said he would take any amount at evens Broker D H Peery jr who for several months has had a proposition to bet to on Bryan carry carrying carrying carryIng ing Utah withdrew the offer yesterday when the even een money talk came carne up He thought he saw a chance to get on at that figure but his efforts were in vain He said he would give any man noo 1110 if he would w uld bring him 1000 of Republican money to bet on McKinley in this state This proposition holds good up to an amount that few people in iu this town ever saw Democrats Want to Bet Be Colonel Ellis made a similar r proposition proposition proposition and so did a number of ot o other Democrats As a matter of fact there is no doubt but that takers could have been sound found for fully at even money ey that McKinley McKinle will carry Utah The Ih real object of Colonel Lannan in wagering the put up yesterday is believed to have hae been to influence eastern e politicians The story printed in itt his paper yesterday esterday morning was it is said telegraphed east for the pur purpose purpose pose of publication in Republican newspapers to give ghe the impression there the Bryan Ban cause is waning in inthe inthe inthe the west The real situation here as anyone who is acquainted with it knows is that Bryan is as sure to carry Utah as ashe ashe ashe he is to tn carry carl the solid south ROuth
