There was a decided swing to
Hughes yesterday in the pre-election
betting In Portland.
Betting remains at even on the gen
eral result, but there was much more
Hughes money in sight, so much. In
fact, that the Wilson wagers were
swallowed up quickly.
Betting is regarded in political cam
paigns as rather an accurate barom
eter of sentiment. It is taken to be
the weathercock that shows how the
political winds are. blowing. The fact
lhat in the East Hughes is a heavy fa
vorite in the betting is welcome news (
to his supporters throughout the coun
try. Several big bets on Hughes were re
ported yesterday. E. C. tfhevlin. lum
berman, has run his wagers on Hughes
up to a round $15,000. Some time ago
he had bet 10.000 to J8000 on Hughes,
and this has been increased by even
money wagers.
Hughe Money la Waiting.
A prominent merchant of the city,
whose political sagacity is well known,
but who declines to have his name men
tioned, bet $3000 on Hughes yesterday
and Friday at even money. He says
he has plenty more to invest In the
same way.
C A. Burckhardt. salmon packer,'
with interests In Alaska, has made two
bets aggregating $1000 on Hughes at
even money. He had $500 more up, but
the 'Wilson man who took the bet
failed to make good and post his
money. Julius Pinens, it is reported,
took the Wilson end of one of Mr.
Burckhardt's bets.
A bet of $1000. even money on Wilson
was posted in a local bank Monday,
and there it remained uncovered until
Friday, when a Hughes man gobbled it
up. It is understood this was taken
by E. C. Shevlin.
At the Imperial Hotel, where politics
Is always the chief topic of conversa
tion, differences of opinion on the re
sult of next Tuesday's balloting have
been so marked that wagers have re
sulted between many political leaders.
The liotel management, however, de
clined to allow bets to be placed there.
(tzn.OOO Ik Posted I'p.
It is estimated that approximately
$20,000 has been posted up to date on
the election as the result of arguments
nt the Imperial. The bets are said not
to have been big ones, but to have run
up to a large total In the aggregate.
The Oregon Hotel, where much bet
ting talk is heard, reports Hughes
money is offering more plentifully at
even. There are also bets being made
that Oregon will go for Hughes, the
odds being placed at 10 to 8.
A cigar store on Broadway reports
that Hughes money is in bigger volume
than ever now and that the earlier
odds of 10 to 8 have setled down to
even money. At this store it was esti
mated that $13,000 had been placed on
the result of the election.
"Even Money" said a cigar store man
where political arguments are backed
up with a bet every little while, in
announcing the current figures.
Oregon for Hughes In 2 to 1.
"There is much more Hughes money
today, although earlier in the cam
paign the're was a flood of Wilson
funds. Odds of 2 to 1 on this state for
Hughes have been current, although
this preference has been pruned down.
The betting is getting busier and will
probably warm up still more before the
election."
There was a flood of Wilson money
earlier in the week at one prominent
Washington-street cigar store, but this
is not so apparent as it was. Hughes
supporters took all that offered and
now Hughes money is ruling the situ
ation. Betting remains even on the
general result.
Other establishments reported bet
ting on the two candidates gaining in
briskness, with even money prevailing.
There seemed, it was said, to be plenty
of people with entire confidence in each
of the two candidates sufficient to
justify them Jn placing bets on the out
come. Brewery BUI Bet I ncovered.
An offer of $50 even money that the
brewers' amendment will be defeated
by 40.000 votes remains uncovered at a
downtown hotel.
Another man offers to bet 10 to 1
that the brewers' amendment will be
defeated. No one has appeared to take
the brewers' end.
A man with. $50 to bet at 2 to 1 that
Hughes will carry Multnomah County
was accommodated Friday night when
his money was taken up in small
chunks by a group of Wilson support
er?. There has been con"ttivelv little
betting on local candidates. One small
net at 10 to 8 was posted Friday night
that Dana will be elected County Clerk
over tseveriage.
A Portland man. who has been in
New York, since early in the campaign,
has sent $2500 to friends here to be
posted at even money on Hughes. All
of it has been covered.
Much money has been placed on even
terms on the result of the Presidential
election in the state of Washington.
Poindexter for Senator and McBride for
Governor have been the ruling favorites
In all betting on the Washington re
sults. At the City Hall, numerous bets have
been made by employes at odds of 10
to 8 on Hughes. Innumerable hats have
been wagered throughout the city on
the outcome, and small sums that have
been risked on the election all over
town would aggregate a large total.

In Telegram to J. C. Lenia, Jonathan
Bourne Predicts Landslide for
Republican Candidate.
Victory for Hughes by the largest
popular plurality ever received by a
Presidential candidate. Is the confident
prediction of ex-Senator Jonathan
Bourne, Jr., In a telegram from Wash
ington, D. C, to John C. Lewis, a well-
Known Portland business man. re
ceived yesterday.
The prediction Is based on reports
from editors in every section of the
country and personal investigation
which revealed a strong sentiment for
the repudiation of the Wilson regime.
The telegram follows:
"It is my firm conviction, based upon
Information contained in reports from
more than 1200 editors, representing
every section of the United States and
confirmed by later x'acts gathered Jn
New York that Hugnes and Fcirbanks
will carry every Northern and Western
state and be elected by the largest
popular plurality ever given to a
1'residential candidate.
"The sound and impartial judgment
of the American people had condemned
Wilson and his party before he was
renominated because of destructive
tariff policies. failure to maintain
American rights on the seas and
abroad and general Inefficiency and
extravagance of administration.
"It is absolutely impossible that the
American people will vote for four
years more of an Administration under
which other nations have come to re
gard us with neither friendship nor
fear and under which vacillation is the
sole rule of official procedure."

CHICAGO, Nov. 4. The Daily News
today prints the following:
"The inside story of the situation
which led up to the famous 'peace' in
terview given out a month ago by
Charles H. Saotn. president of the
Guaranty Trust Company of New York,
the largest Institution of its kind in
the country, came out today for the
first time, in connection with Sabin's
visit to Chicago.
" 'Mr. Sabin baa received information
from an unimpeacnable source that a
message was on the way to President
Wilson from the German government
asking him to use his good ofttces to
bring about an early peace." said the
Daily News' informant. Certain neu
tral diplomats had actually prepared
to start for America, as the bearers of
the German government's proposals.
"Mr. Sabin never intimated in any
way that Ambassador Gerard was the
bearer of the Kaiser's message. The
coincidence of Mr. Gerard's being on
his way to the United States at the
time led to the deduction printed in
one of the newspapers that Mr. Gerard
was bringing the message to which
Mr. Sabin referred.
Britain Nips Movement.
"When Mr. Sabin received this in
formation from a source which he con
sidered beyond question, he and his
assistants considered very seriously the
question as to whether it should be
made public The news T.as known to
be of tremendous importance in its
bearing on American trade and on the
New York stock market.
"However, at about the same time
that Mr. Sabin received this news from
Germany, the alert Intelligence depart
ment of the British government had
learned the same facts. Great Britain
lost no time in nipping the German
peace movement in the bud.
"It will be remembered that Lloyd
George immediately came out with an
emphatic statement in an interview
given to American newspapers saying
that Great Britain would resent any
attempt on the part of any neutral gov
ernment to institute a peace move
ment at that time.
Asqulth Also Opposes Peace.
"The British Secretary of State de
clared that Great Britain had only be
gun to fight and recalled that it took
England 20 years to defeat Napoleon.
"A few days later Premier Asquith
made a statement in the House of
Commons that 'this war cannot be al
lowed to end in some patched-up. pre
carious and dishonoring compromise
masquerading under the name of
peace.'
"These emphatic statements caused
the German government to abandon its
efforts at arriving at a peace through
the good offices of the United States.
The Lloyd George and Asquith state
ments were so evidently intended to
head off the movement which was be
ing initiated that it teemed useless to
go forward with it. The result was
that Mr. Sabin was placed in the un
fortunate position of having given out
a warning on a most important sub
ject fcr which the occasion was sud
denly Vhanged. "

For years I tried to restora my gray
