Open air political gathering ends with unbet event
A McKinley supporter failed to place a bet on California and Oregon electors at a Baker City event where Hon W F Butcher claimed Bryan would win both states. A spectator challenged the claim and offered $300 winnings, but the money did not materialize. The exchange illustrated the era's bets on presidential votes and noncommittal outcomes. A separate reader query asks for a method to make cold starch for ironing purposes, praising a self heating iron from J F Onney & Co of St Louis as a potential money maker.
