Dunn stock fell many points when he

alleged punches of the real goods failed.
though those efforts did furnish proof
that Dunn and his personal friends were

This information promptly furnished to

to arouse the Gainer party TO a higher
pitch of enthusiasm. Long ago the men

After a great deal of dickering and post
poning OF selections the Republican organ
announced this morning the completed
Dunn ticket. The relations between Dunn

COUNCIL FIGHT BITTER
IN The STRENUOUS THIRD

/ has been paid to the council part Of the
ticket, yet there are some politicians who
still believe that ticket is stronger II AL
the men on II have some drawing power.
The council ticket put forward by Dunn
is not considered a strong one. Mr.. O'Neil
was the leader in the billingsgate cam
paign which resulted In the turn over of
the party machinery TO his opponents.
There have been published some singu-
lar statements alleged TO have been made
by him concerning dealings with Repub-
licans. which he has seen fit TO deny. NJ.
Donovan is the only Dunn man on the
ticket from the large section OF the ward
south of Admiral street.
II looks as II the voters OF these dis
tricts and the larger part OF another were
being sacrificed. Mr.. Lyons was one year
in the assembly and was strongly opposed
for place on the council ticket by for
mer Ward Committeeman Rankin. Mr..
Nolan is on the Dunn ticket simply be-
cause he was not given a place on the
Gamer ticket. Mr.. Nolan was defeated
for school committee at the last caucus.
