elected. but only by the skin Of
his teeth. Biermsu has made . still hunt OF
singular success, and with few weeks more
to work would probably have secured his
election. The natural theory o: this result 10
that Dunnell has becu engaged In undermining
White. but he denies this. and the re.urns
from the different oounties give some color
Of truth to his denial Biernsn's gains have

Reasonable estimates for Chisago, Anoka

The Fifth district exceeds all reasonable ex
peClations IN the magnitude Of Nelson's plu-
.'allty. It las already increased as additional
