from all six congressional districts and
from the First. Third. Fifth and Sew
euth senatorial districts, the contests
in the Third congressional and in the
Fifth senatorial ovcrshadow the others
in political significance.
Delany Opposes Wares
Delapy. manufacturer and banker,
and the administration candidate for
Congress from the Third district, form
erly represented by Mayor Moore, has
made strong campaign in the eleven
words of the district agninst Ranslcy,
former sheriff.
John r. Mclean. Jr.. is admins
tration candidate for the state Senate
from the Fifth district. now represented
by Senator Martin, one time city lead
er Of the organization aud now Ware
sntrap Of the Nineteenth ward.
Martin Is not n candidate for e-elec-
ton. but is supporting Max Aron, state
representative. whom the Nineteenth
ward leader wishes to promote from the
House to the Senate side Of the Capitol.
Opposition for Costello
Administration leaders assert Aron
would be q Ware Martin mouthpiece in
the upper chamber. Accordingly. Mr..
Mclean has concentrated his campaign
attacks on Senator Martin and on Da-
vid II. Lane. leader Of the Twentieth
ward which is included in the Fifth
Senatorial district.
Of somewhat lesser interest is the
contest in the Fifth Congressional dis
trict now represented by Congressman
Peter Il. Costello. Mayor Moore is un-
derstood to favor Costello's re- election.
Tut because Costello was not warm
supporter of the Independent movement
last fall. some Moore leaders are op-
posed to him.
James J. Connelly's candidacy is a
result Of this opposition. Connolly. a
lieutenant Of Magistrate William F.
Campbell. anti Ware leader. Of the
, Twenty fifth ward. is expected to derive
strength from the Moore leaders o,p-
posed to Costello. This creates sit
uation in which two anti Ware candi-
dates are opposing Alfred NJ. Waldron.
