Slackputter, the faithful guardian of the peace and dignity of Petunia, was suffering from ‘a llight attack of ague lately. A day or two ago, as he was rest ing on the corner of the First Na- tional bank, he was aroused by a sound of law breaking. A flivver car came slamming around a corner and went wabbling in an_ eccentric fashion up the street, the driver thereof paying more attention to his own voice than to the operation of the car. In raucous tones he sang: “I'm & wicked little pruna!

Botting commissioners report that ,000,000 already has heen wagered on the result and that the total probably will reach $10,000,000 be- fore election night. About 80 per- cent of the béts placed in New York originate in the metropolitan area, the remainder being ecattered throughout the country. * Inasmuch as members of the va- rious stock and commodity ex- changes are forbidden to place bets, the bulk of the business is handled | through three of four “outside houe- ea'. Thess firma do not wager their own money, but merely act as stake- holders and bring the betters to- gether, the charge for their services being & percent of the winnings. Legality Never Questioned 80 far as is known, the legality of the practice never has been ques- tioned.and no complaints have ever been registered against these firma. They require all clients to submit | cash, certified checks or money or- | ders with their bets except in last minute transactions with firms on individuals that are well known to them, when the business is usually done over the telephone. When the bet has been placed, the | commissioner gives the bettor a con- tract as follows: “In the evenf that ‘John Doe' is elected President of the United Statés we promise 16 pay you $4,000, leas commissions,” This would represent the long end of a bet of $3,000 to $1,000. In the event that the bettor's oandidate won, he would receice a check for his original deposit of $3,000 and his winnings of $1,000, minus the § per cent commistion of his winnins. The loser 1 this case would have recelved a contract reading, lows: “In the event that ‘John Doe' is not elected President of the United States we promfine |o pay you $4,000, less commissions.” It John Doe had been defeafed, the recipient of: this contract wénld $3,850, recognized and ' fol- | ' which would have represented tha_ return of his original deposit of $1,000 and his winnings of $3,000, minus the 5 percent commission. Betting commissioners rébott that some of the large wagers frequently represent something more than ® game on the maker's political judg- ment. Many of them represént hedges against a speculative position in the stock of commodity markets that ls likely to be affected by the election. Thus, if a trader is long of several thousahd shares and there is & poasibility of an “‘adverse” can- didate being elected and the quoted value of his securities Tmpaired, he ' will take the short end of a bet on the adverse candidate in order te , limit his probable losseés in the stock market in the event the candidate is elected. 1t is a !rsdmon in Wall Street that no candidate who twas ever quoted at odde of better than 2 to 1 on the eve of an election has been\ defeated. In fact, rarely has the favorite in betting been deteated. In 1916 Charles E. Hughes was a 2 to 1 favorite over Woodrow Wilson un- il just before election day, when the adds shortened to 7 to 5 on Hughes, the only Presidential favorite who has failed of election in,the last 30 years. In 1920 the odds on Harding ranged from 2% to 1, after his mo- mination, to 10 to 1 on the eve of election day. Betting is Complicated. Betting this year is as complicated as it was In 1912 when there was A keen three-corned contest for the Presidency, *The commiasioners re- port that many large wagers are being withheld pernding further in- dications of the drift of political sentiment. There was practically no betting on the outcome of the Re- publican Natlonal convention this year, because the nomination of President Coelidge was practically a certaloty, the few wagers placed re- lating to the contest for the vice- presidency. Wagers on the outcome of the Democratic National conven- | tion were estimated as high as $2,- 000,000, most of the original bets be- ing of a negative nature, that is against certaln candidates rather than for specific candldllu against the fleld.
