CAMP AIGNPANICS WON'T WORK Can't Frighten the Industria World— | Large Crops and Prosperity Alarm | Calamity Howlers—Confidence in Wilson—A Safe Man. In New York City large sums money are now being offered for wag- ers on the presidential election. The odds are frgm 2 to 4, against 1, in favor of Wilson, with no takers. form of putting up money is a cold blooded business proposition in which | men make extensive inquiry, before investing. The large odds favoring Wilson's election confirms a popular sentiment-—that there is no doubt of Wilson's success, Prominent Re- publicans frankly admit that Taft's chances for a second term are hope- less. The Roosevelt people openly confirm the same view but insist that Teddy, and his Bull Moose move- ment may win, They make the extravagant claims. It still almost three the day of electién, in and by that time Taft's chances be a joke, and the Bull Moose a screaming farce; and the months until November, may party average is Republican so disgusted with the gen- | eral state of affairs that fer to remain at home on day and quietly “saw wood,” Wilson will be practically alone presidential race on the home When Teddy demands third term, he finds the American in No- vember in a more sober and thought- ful mood. What was refused Gen Grant, the hero of Appomattox, will hardly be accorded to the and spectacular leader of Moose. For over a century been a sacred tradition with the fcan people that a third-term in White House endangers our free in- stitutions, and is the first step to a crown. Washington wisely pointed out this danger and refused a third election, the wisdom of which has since exalted him in the hearts of the American people. We doubt if, at this later period, the sober thought of the patriotic citizen will tolerate such movement to satisfy the ambitions a restless agitator, who one position to another in or can endorse himself to any circumstance t his personal interests.
