‘SILENT VOTE' WILL DECIDE STATE RESULT

76.000, Listed Independent in Marion County, to Tip Scales. (Continued from Page One) not carry Marion county, much less obtain a 25,000 majority nere. Never before have there been so many Republican workers active. That party in this election is possessed of three active groups. These are the regular county organization, which makes a piay to the rank and file of the voters; the Republican Union, playing to the middle group, and the HooverCurtis Club, which makes a definite appeal to those living in Washington township and the northern part of the Fourth ward, both of which divisions in the past usually dftave been Republican. Center on President Pressure in behalf of Hoover has been enormous from two of these groups, which apparently forget to mention that there are other candidates on the Republican ticket. Especially is the fact that Senator James E. Watson is a candidate for re-election clothed in almost impenetrable muteness. Then also, it must be remembered, economic pressure is being exerted by local industrialists in behalf of Hoover. This will have some effect. That is why observers believe hoover will lead the Republican i-icket in this county. In studying the Marion county outlook, it also must be remembered that this year it is divided into two districts and the congressional races will have some bearing on the situation. The eastern portion of the county is in the Eleventh district.

Larrabee vs. Spencer This Includes the First, Ninth and Tenth wards in Indianapolis; Lawrence, Warren, Franklin and Perry townships in Marion county, and Hamilton and Madison counties. Here in the congressional race are pitted Dr. William H. Larrabee of Hancock county. Democratic incumbent, and Dale Spencer, Republican, Hancock county newspaper man. Spencer has put up a hard battle, backed by Republican party organs and certain veterans’ organizations, while Larrabee is backed by the State Federation of Labor and the liberal groups. Although Larrabee voted dry oi,;ce, he voted wet the second time w,hen he learned that this was the JFintiment of the new Eleventh district. He is not indorsed by the Anti-Saloon League, while Spencer has received that organization’s approval. Help for Larrabee This is expected to react in Larrabee’s favor. Although Madison county in the last three national elections has gone Republican, the resentment against the present administration is keen among farmers and the residents of Anderson. Friday night the citizens of that c.mnty turned out en masse, despite the rain, to watch a parade of one hour and a quarter’s duration in tribute to Frederick Van Nuys, Democratic candidate for United States senator. Preliminary polls indicate that Roosevelt and Van Nuys may win this county by 3,000 votes and that Larrabee will run up well with them. Hancock county always is Democratic and although Spencer is a resident there, he is pitted against another citizen of the county and so it would not be rash to expect Larrabee to obtain a majority of at least 1,000 there.

Irvington Is Fight Center The real fight then is in Marion icounty, where no efforts are being spared by Irvington G. O. P. leaders to win the First ward, where reside many railway employes, who, it is said, have been subjected to great pressure, and the Ninth ward, where live many of the so-called Republican statesmen. Both of these wards in past national elections have gone heavily Republican. But. if polls are to be relied upon, they have swung this year. Larrabee's re-election apparently is assured. In the Twelfth district, Louis Ludlow, incumbent Democrat, is opposed by William Henry Harrison, 'grandson of one President and great-grandson of another. Both Lack Color Both are colorless candidates and have stirred no great interest. Ludlow injured himself seriously in his district when he voted dry on every occasion and received the indorsement of the Anti-Saloon league, which ordinarily would guarantee his defeat in the Twelfth, which is preponderantly wet in sentiment. Harrison has come out for repeal and so is slated by the wet groups. But Ludlow’s close attention to the requests of his constituents .have made him many friends, and the heavy Democratic majority forecast in this district for the state and national candidates is expected to carry him over. Now as to the county tickets. The only spots where the Democrats show' weakness are in Washington and Pike townships and the Fourth and Ninth wards, which usually are Republican, and where the independent vote is very, very large. Democrats Are Strong Otherwise, there is a showing of great Democratic strength in the county.’ Aided by the popularity of the state ticket and the positive move to Roosevelt in the wards and townships of the south, west and northwest sections of city and county, the county ticket is expected to go over by at least 10,000 majority, while the national and state candidates will make the grade by margins ranging from 15,000 to 25.000 votes. Os course, If there is a landslide, the majorities will be much greater. But, all in all, it is no sish prediction to say that the Democrats will carry the Eleventh and Twelfth districts.

Hoover Money Is Scarce in Betting Circles Here

Little Wagering Is Being Done, but Variety of Offers Are Made. BY JAMES DOSS Although the depression has struck a staggering blow at one of the largest industries of the United States—betting—you still can make several dollars grow where one grew before, jf you believe the Republican ticket has a chance to stagger home a winner at Tuesday’s election. That is, of course, if the G O. P. does W'in. The foregoing are just a few samples of the sort of action you can get for your money. If you’d rather support your political beliefs by “laying it on the line” instead of wagering your favorite rail stock will go up two points on a favorable car loading report this week, you can get it placed right here in Indianapolis. Do you think you're enough of a political analyist to pick out the states, if any, Herbert Hoover carries, $lO will get you a like amount you can’t name nine of them.

Little Wagering Reported There is little wagering being done —astonishingly little for a presidential election, veteran betting commissioners will tell you. However, you can get a variety of bets and on a variety of propositions, if your taste runs to intricacy instead of the straight out problem of whether Jones beats Smith. You can get, 20 to 5, Hoover does ont carry as many states as he did in 1928, and SSO even he does not carry thirteen states. There’s one offer posted of SIOO even money that Hoover will carry one state that A1 Smith carried in 1928 and another one of $lO that Norman Thomas, Socialist candidate, gets a popular vote of 1,000,000.

Mostly “Sucker Bets” With the exception of the presidential race, the contest affording the most interest in Indianapolis is that of Earl Cox. Democrat, against Harry O. Chamberlin, incumbent circuit judge. In addition to an even-money offer Cox carries Marion county by 18,000 votes, you can get $25 even money he does not carry the county by 35,000 votes and S3O even he can not wijj by 21,000. Majority of ttfe offers posted at local betting exchanges are what the gambling fraternity term “sucker bets.” In other words, it is not the “smart money” that always is laid on any contest involving a difference of opinion. The scarcity of Hoover money prevailing here is noted in other parts of the country. Joe Young, veteran Cleveland betting commissioner, holds the odds on Roosevelt at 3 to 1. The same ratio holds good in New York. Roosevelt has been installed a 5-to-2 favorite to carry California, Hoover’s home state. The Indianapolis odds offered on California are 2 to 1. Shift in Pittsburgh Latest shift in the wagering is in Pittsburgh, according to a report brought to Indianapolis Friday from the Pennsylvania city. Roosevelt is being quoted there at 2 to 1 to carry Pennsylvania, regarded as one of the strongest Republican states. v Included among the variety of offers posted at local exchanges are: Fifteen to 5 Hoover does not carry North'Dakota and Minnesota; 20-5 he does not carry both Dakotas, 25-5 against his carrying Oklahoma and Tennessee; 20-5 against his carrying North Carolina; 14-10 against his carrying New York and New Jersey: 10-10 Roosevelt does not carry Maine; 4-10 Hoover does not carry Pensylvania; 20-10 Roosevelt carries two of Missouri. Illinois and Oklahoma; 10-10 Roosevelt carries two of California, Kentucky and Maryland; 10-10 he is elected by 1,500,(XXk 10-10 he carries Chicago by 150,000, and 10-10 Hoover carries either Massachusetts or Connecticut. Mars and Venus are the only celestial neighbors of the earth that could be inhabited, judging by what science knows of the conditions on the planets.

Betting Odds Charles (Buck) 'Sumner is re-elected by 15,000 vetes—even money. Earl Cox is elected judge of the Marion circuit court by 18,000 votes—even money. Frederick Van Nuys will defeat Senator James E. Watson for United States senator—three to one. Paul V. McNutt will defeat Raymond S. Springer for Gov-ernor-three to one. Franklin D. Roosevelt will defeat Herbert Hoover for President—s4,ooo to $2,000, or any part.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

CITY TO SAVE SIOO A DAY ON POORJUD BREAD New Method to Be Put Into Use With Flour From Red Cross. Center township will save from SIOO to S2OO a day in poor relief costs as result of anew method of distributing bread in poor relief baskets, it was announced today by Miss Hanna Noone, trustee. Starting Wednesday, bread placed in poor relief baskets will be baked from American Red Cross flour, contributed by the goverinment, at a cost of 3 cents a 24-ounce loaf for baking. In the past, the trustee has been paying grocers 5 cents for a twelveounce loaf. The only cost now is for baking the flour. Ten thousand loaves of the bread, baked by the larger bakeries in the city, will be delivered each morning to the trustee’s office. Agree to Call for Bread

The eighty-five grocers filling poor relief baskets will visit the trustee's office each morning to obtain enough bread to fill relief orders they have received. The grocers have agreed to call for the bread without charge. The new plan was made possible through the authorization of a $250,000 Reconstruction Finance Corporation loan to the township. The economy plan has been prevented from being placed in effect for the last month by delay in granting the loan, since the bakeries refused to bake the government flour until the township was able to pay. Litigation over poor relief district laws enacted by the legislature in the special session has prevented issuance of bonds to pay poor relief costs. Take Over Repair Shop Grocers supplying poor relief baskets now have been paid up to July 15. Until a few days ago the township owed them for orders dating back to April 15. With the gov■ernment loan, it will be possible to pay them more promptly. No money will be available for additional relief, however. Miss Noone also announced that the trustee’s office has taken over the shoe repair shop formerly operated by the Emergency Work Committee, Inc. Twenty-one cobblers now are at work in the shop in the trustee’s building repairing shoes for the needy. The shoe repairmen are working two days a week for a basket. Soon, it is expected, fifty men will be working in the shop.
