There is growing belief In the ward
that Dunn will not be candidate for al
derman this year, a friend tells me. At
one time ii looked as IL former Alderman
Mccarthy could be induced TO be again a
candidate for alderman, but he never de-
sired the nomination, and the friends of
former Councilman Joseph III. Gainer have
been working hard for him for the past
month. They declare that II Alderman
Dunn is not candidate Mr. Gamer. who
voted for Dunn's crowd at the first caucus
last year, will get lots OF Dunn votes.
Former Alderman Mccarthy has always
been a most pronounced opponent OF Dunn
and Of the domination of the ward by Re-
publicans.
Though, as ] said, my information is
that the fight will be at the first caucus
and Mr.. Hogan will easily win, because he
will have the support OF such ah-the-tirne
Democrats as former Alderman McCar-
thy and also OF Mr.. Gamers friends
