This was H the manner in which one of the most HJ prominent politicians in the city ex- pressed himself "Wednesday evening, Hh "Up to the present time, $10,000 of this 'nmount has been placed. Wednesday 011I3' about $2000 was put up, irrespec; five of what some of the handlers of , tho wagers say. but this amount will pale into significance before Tuesday night. Vhy. the people :;re not yet fully awakened, to their c'-'ortunitics in this respect, but they will be bc-H( bc-H( fore the last l'mii is fired. On Monday everythintJ which looks in any way like n decent bet will be snapped up, and on Tuesday the betting will have Hl reached fever heat. Take it from me,. H" SaltiLake City will run ahcud of every Hk city in the co'untry of its size, or any- tiling near it, in the posting of-the real s coin for election bets.1' 'k' During the .past tvycuty-four hours, Hi the odds offered by the wager liandleri? '-'I, have changod materially. Instead of 1 ' being willing AVednesdav to make bofs on any part of $5000 to $25000 that H' Tail, will be elected, the odds have H, shifted in this cit- anfl Sun Praucisco Hf to 4 to J on the former secretary of Hk ' tvar. It is expected that before Tucs- i day these odds will again have taken u sudden change, but what thoy will xo ' no one is willing- to predict. ''Taft H' t'.ndoubiodly will have the long end all H. the way throuirh, but look out for 1 '1 Bryan! It will not be a surprise if v be should forge ahead at the last mo- ulcni, is the way Tho Tribune- in- ,4jiA. tervicwer got his dope. Bets on Amorican Victory, i ij' It is significant that during the twenty-four hours ending at tl o'clock v, il "Wednesdnj' evening, only two otfers in reference to the American party H' l- have been made. One remains over '' J'rom Puesday. $75 to $100. that thc Americans will carry the countv, and ,, tho new one is $100 to $75 thai four , I men on the American ticket can be H i named who will bo elected. Thin last 1 "i'ct is considered the best of the day f I among tho local issues, while nationallv the oddH here of -1 to 1 on Taft, and "i even that Bryan gets 1S5 elec- H1 toral votes, looks to bo the best thus f i ! 3'ar.. It will bo recalled that Parker ' polled, only 1-10 electoral votes to 330 , l'or Eoosevelt. It is considered an im- i' possibility for Taft to seenro anvthinL' iko what the president received, mil l ifc- is reckoned that Bryan will poll mora Hf ! than this, oven if he is not elected. Tho f) solid South will give him 1G0, Nebraska 1 1 , Tvill givo him 9, Oklahoma will give H' him 7, Nevada 3 and Colorado 5. This . will givo Bryan S4. and besides these, 1 it is reckoned that New-Vork with hor i V and Indiana with her 15, will be ", found -in the Bryan column. If this I proves true, the Nebraska statesman J ! will be elected; but at anv rate, the j,j $25 even for Bryan to poll 185 votes in II the electoral college is tho surest thiug ,!i on the board. ' -Since early Wednesday morning, and BV . p to the time the boards were taken V VV in at night, a steady stream of money S flowed in. Most of the wagers were Vi ftmall, ihe largest recorded being for ' H. !i $100. and a eouplo at $300. Tho wager ; i ' .' handlers promise that before the uod : . (if the week some odds will be posted BMi ivhicli will make the would-be bettors ' ' jump all over themselves to get in first. HBV Another change, in the odds offered ! HBV on local politics is the cut in the aiim- HBV ' her of votes Spry would poll over f Knight. Tuesdav the odds were $100 : j, to $200 that Spry would get 5000 more ' a voles than Knight, whilt; Wednesday ' ( rho number of votes were changed to ! LbU.. '1000 in excess of Knight's. i WlL.
