Election Betting in Indianapolis Shows Shively Favorite
Indianapolis observers report strong odds for Senator Shively and the Democratic state ticket over Republicans and Progressives. Bets favor Shively by at least 40,000 votes and a 25 000 to 75 000 plurality for the state ticket, with Beveridge expected to lead Miller for a Senate spot though second place remains uncertain. Beveridge draws larger crowds while Miller campaigns weakly, and party realignment could favor Miller if Progressives rejoin the Republicans.
