a CAMPAIGN or PhRSON4LIfIES
Tom johnson Has Made "the Fight OF
Hts Life" and May Win.

CLEVELAND, OHIO. Nov 5.--The
most remarkable and sayagely personal
congressional campaign In the history OF
Ohio closed tonight in the Twenty-first I
district, which Is made up of twenty six
wards of this city. Tom. l.. Johnston, the
Democratic candidate, has, 10 quote his
own language, made 'the fight OF his
life" and although the district gave Nc
Kinley nearly 1900 plurality last fall. the
most confident supporters Of II. r.. Bur-
ton, the Republican candidate, are not
claiming his election by over $500 John
stons friends say he will be elected by
i,500 George Goote Is the Populist can
didate, and the Democrats and Repub-
licans agree that upon the size of his
vote depends the election III he gets less
than 5000 Johnston's chances will be
better than Burton's. Democrats say that
GroOte will not poll more than $500. Re
pubicans assert that he Will get 5000
Estimates cannot be based upon previous
elections. johnston's party organ has
fought him, and many Democratic lead
ers have opposed him, AS an offset TO
this is Burton's popularity In his own
party. IL has been a campaign OF per
sonaiities. each candidate having been
accused Of offenses innumerable. AS nit
ting climax 10 such campaign. war
rants were sworn out by Burton Satur-
day for the arrest OF a dozen men for
illegal registration. Thorp, the leader OF
the crowd, was DISCHARGED for lack Of
evidence. and to-day sued Burton for

is 500 TO $50 on Burton, with plenty OF
Johnston money offered.
