Mathes Bunchcr is making a
strong and popular canvass for cleo
tiCn TO the council from the First
ward. He has been there before. the
people of the lower end recognize
his energies and efforts in their be-

feat of Aid. Kennedy this wear. by a
majority that will give the Sixth
ward councilman an unmistakable

much confidence in NJ. Junge's
ability to look into the financial af
