Aside from the Councilmanic con-
tests the one for assessor and collec-
tor in the southern district is at
tracing most attention This Is be-
tween Eugene M Sayers who has held
the Office FOR many years and John J..
Dolan. The latter resides in the
Third ward and Mr. Sayers lives in
the Tenth. Up to today Dolan seemed
to be making great headway but to
defeat Sayers, any voter living in the
Southern district knows Is hercu-
lean task. Sayers political fences
are we'll built and TO tear them down
viii require hard work on the part
of the opposition. Dolan. however, IS
making vigorous campaign. and his
friends charge that Sayers' supporters
are oorraling dozens OF workers ln
the district and especially in the
Third ward.
