Population statistics or 1920, based
upon the recent federal census, receiv
ell over the Associated Press wires to-
day gave Bismarck only 6,951 people,
a gain of but 1903 souls in the decade
which had elapsed since the last prev
ious decennial census
This result is disappointing but not
surprising, or, in spite of all the warn
ingS sent out and efforts put forth
by the press. the commercial club and
individuals. it was very generally real
ICED when the enumeration of Bis
marck was finished that it was ia;
from complete.
The federal census in 1910 gave
Bismarck population of 5,443- In
1915 the North Dakota census placed
the citys population at $500, and 1t
is the general belief today that an eff
cient enumeration would give Bis
marck a population well in excess OF
5000, or at least 1000 greater than
the federal statistics show.
There was during the course of the
census much criticism of the manner
in which the work was handled in this
city, and the result, which everyone
who has watched the progress of Bis
marck during the last decade knows
to be radically wrong, would seem to
show that this criticism was more
than justified.
That the federal census has fallen
at least 1000 short so far as Bismarck
is concerned is very safe surmise.
The regrettable feature Of this situa
tion is that Bismarck must continue
for the next decade to pay for some
ones mistakes or neglect.

DIDN'T SEE WOOD
Governor Allen Denies Tiff With
General After Convention.
Says Letter to State journal De-
scribing Scene Is False.

Governor Allen denied today that
he had talked with General Wood or
heard directly from him since the Re-
publican national convention. He
fatty denied that Wood had taken
him to task in Chicago and had
charged him with treachery to the
generals presidential ambitions.
A letter published by The State
Journal Thursday was written by a
man who has been in intimate touch
with the Wood organization for a
alleged to have occurred in the Con-
gress hotel following the national con-
vention. The letter also stated that
Wood had branded the governor as a
traitor" and that he had delivered
the Kansas delegation to Harding in
an effort to win the vice presidential
nomination.

General Wood since the convention

portions of the letter were printed

it became known today.
The commission. headed by Frank
o. Cole, has an appropriation of $25.-
900 for the encampment. Cole said
today his commission had refused to
turn over this money to the G. A. r.
committee on the basis of the list of
expenditures that has been submitted.
Cole declared the G. A. r. commission
proposed to spend the greater part of
the appropriation for unnecessary pur-
poses. leaving only $500 for actual en-
tertainment of the war veterans.
He declared it would cost $37, 900 to
hold the encampment and unless the
G. A. r. commission made drastic re-
visions of its list of expenditures. his
committee would turn the money back
to the state treasury and allow the G..
A. r. to select some other place at
which to hold the enca mpment.
