Republicans, even friends of Dunn,

Rosing Makes Inside Figures.
l.. A. Rosing Of the democratic state
committee, who managed the Lind cam
paign and forecast the results very
closely, gave T he j urnal today
an estimate Of the state by congress
sional districts. He explained that in
making up this table he had cut it
down in every case to just what the
Dunn managers are expecting to get in
every locality.
" My figures are too low,' said Mr..
Rosing, land still believe that Mr..
Johnson will be elected by from 10000
up. In making up these figures l have
taken each county, marking up just
what the local republican leaders. are
expecting to get. The table, therefore,
represents an inside estimate taken
from republican sources, and in nearly
every case it is less than our own com
mitteemen report. The figures l have
thus taken give the following results
by congressional districts:

who are interesting themselves in the
to obtain supply of pure
water and are urginb the voters to
authorize the city council to issue
bonds for filtration plant, meet with
some unexpected arguments in their
rounds. They are usually able to over
come the opposition as all Of it appears
to be based on erroneous ideas. ::
A taxpayer on Portland avenue, near
Lake street, informed the ladies that
he would not vote for the bonds be-
cause the question had been so suddenly
proposed that he feared a political JOB,
from the taxpayers would, Gas usual,'
get the worst Of it. T. The history of the
movement, beginning with the typhoid
fever epidemic of last winter, the agita
tion by the Improvement league, the
selection Of the pure-water commission,
its work and report, and the subse-
quent action by the council to present
the bond proposition to- the council,
was outlined to the taxpayer, who
thereupon announced that he was COM
piekely satisfied and would vote for the
bonds. ..-
Another taxpayer, a well-known mer-
chant, was dubious about the bond
proposition, because newspaper was
discussing various methods of filtra-
ton in manner to confuse the reader.
1t was explained to the doubling voter
that the method Of filtration had not
been formally decided upon, and that
the: only question now was the raising
Of funds for some system Of purifying
the water.
Another man who was Indifferent to
the filtering plan was policeman who
had well in his yard and was satisfied
with the water it yielded. When re-
minded that there was always danger
from typhoid fever in river water and

he agreed to vote yes on the bond is

UNFRIENDLY TO JORDAN
Charges Against Clifford W. Thompson
Candidate for School Board.

An editorial in one Of the morning
papers today stated that. Clifford W.
Thompson, candidate for election to the
board. of education, had entered the
up a personal grievance against DR.. G.
M. Jordan, superintendent Of schools.
The editorial stated further that this
grievance grew out of clash between
Mr.. Thompson and the superintendent,
more than ten years ago, and that at
that the latter sustained the discipline
of the school,. With regard to the mat
ter Mr.. Thompson makes the following
statement: -.
MY candidacy was brought about as
much and, perhaps, more so, on the solicit
.tation of business men and friends (resi-
dents of this city,. who have the interests
of the public schools at hearty as any
candidate who offered himself at the pri-
maries-or who may now solicit the cleo
ton. e
I have been raised in this city, and
believe that I am the only candidate for
board Of education who has passed thru
our Minneapolis public schools, gradual
ing from the Central High school in 1891.
In reference to the accusation that my
candidacy was prompted by animosity of
ten years standing to Mr.. Jordan, I en-
ter positive and emphatic denial.

Mr.. Thompson is entitled to the priv,
ilege Of his denial. T h journal
regrets to say, however, that it has been
presented evidence today which justifes
apprehension that his election would
create condition of things which
would make the continuance of DR..
Jordan at the head Of the schools as
difficult to maintain as it was to hold
O. V. Tousley when he withdrew from
this city, and all residents know that
that was due to the presence of one hos
tilee member on the board.
Furthermore, w. K. Morrison and j;
F. Calhoun, whose names were attached
| to statement indorsing Mr.. Thompson,
have asked The Journal to state
that their names were used under a
misapprehension. They think DR.. Jor-
dan more important to the schools than
the election of Mr.. Thompson and are
not willing. to take any chances on a
