Party managers on both sides are in
clined to fight shy Of detailed estimates
on the result next Tuesday. Both repub-
Leans and democrats realize that the
result is in the hands 5of a large element
of voters who ara silent and non COM
initial. Both sides are expecting to get
the bulk Of this vote, but they cannot
be sure, and all claims are more or less
guesswork. = ~. .~~'.
There is very little question about a
republican increase in the first and Sec
will hof
portional vote there than Dunn did, and
If the vote does not fall off too heavily
he will get good pluralities in both dis
tricts. He is certain to gain over the
Dunn pluralities and the size Of the gain
depends entirely on how the vote turns
out. In isolated counties like Mower and
Cottonwood the, democrats have made
special efforts and may gain, but the
general trend is republican.
Comparatively little work has been done
in the third. In two or three counties
there johnson is likely to gain. They are
Dakota, Scott, LIE Sueur and possibly
in Goodhue and there will be a big
change in his favor iii Rice county. John
son Will not run as strong in his home
county Of Nicollet as before.
In the fourth district Johnson seems
likely to make a. gain In Ramsey county,
where the democratic vote will be solid
for him this time. This will be partly
offset by a republican gain in Washing
ton. Chisago is uncertain, but is likely
to give small republican plurality. Both
sides are claiming the fifth district, Hen
nepin county, but the democrats admit
they will lose ground here, and from
surface indications the county will be
close.
The sixth went heavily for . Johnson
last time, but some Of the most effective
work in the. state is being done by the
republican organization there, and Cole
is going to break even there or better.
In the seventh. he may lose little
ground owing to the soreness among
Jacobson's followers, but in some coun-
ties there Is sure to be a. republican
gain, like Renville, for instance, and the
district Is apt to be close again. The
eighth was .Dunn's banner district, but
the heavy republican pluralties will be
cut down somewhat by the stay-at-home
vote of an off year., Reports are conflict
Ing from the ninth, but seem to indicate
a slight gain ffQr, johnson. .sy,... :.
Some estirna tes By coTnggressiona1 dis
tricts have been made for this column
by several who are active in the cam.
paign, but don't have the nerve to come
out and make the estimates over their
own signatures. One of the more sanguine
Cole supporters has it figured out this
way:
