POST and STEIN IN RACE FOR
COLLECTORSH|P; MACUIRE NOT TO
run FOR MAYOR; THE SITUATION
Edward Kenny to Be Candidate "In All Probability
Siegrist Will Not Say Yes No at the Present Time;
Information About Fort Lee Candidates Scarce

With the date when petitions must
be filed just seven days away, the air
is full of rumors as to who will run
for the political offices that must be
filled this coming election. Some
say it will be Democratic victory
and others say the Republicans will
run away with things. Party politics
are disregarded to a large extent in
municipal elections and it is general
ly case of 'the best man wins" and
his political faith doesn't cut much
figure save with a few.
Following is the best available in
formation regarding the possible can
didates in Cliffside Park and Fort
Lee:
Cliffside Park
There is not much excitement
manifest yet in the coming contest and
but four men have made any definite
statement regarding what they will
or will not do.
Herbert L. Post, the present col
lector, when asked by our representa-
tive, whether he would run for the
office he now holds said, yes, l in
tend to run for collector and will
probably run ON the Republican
ticket"
c. M. Stein of Grantwood also
states that he will be candidate for
the cOllectorship on the Republican
ticket
]. E. Mcguire of Grantwood who
has been mentioned time and again
as possible participant in the may
orally race says positively and def
initely. No, | am not going to run
for mayor!"
Mayor Cadien has stated publicly
that he will not seek the office again
yet some feel that he will be a can
didate for the collectorship.
G. Siegrist is non -commital and
says he cannot say yes or no at the
present time, having not definitely
made up his mind.
Edward Kenny's candidacy is al
most sure thing and while he does
not say yes he does say, "In all prob
ability l will be candidate for may
or. Everything points that way"
Joseph Marini is another sure bet
and probably on the Republican tick
ct though he himself does not con-
firm the report. He tells us, 81 under
stand there is petition being circu-
fnA h,,t I
rum"
William KorZinek has been men
toned as a possible candidate for
councilman but when consulted ON
the phone said it was news to him.
Joseph Whelan has been mentioned
as a possible candidate for mayor and
although he could not be reached by
telephone at this writing one of his
friends states that he is quite sure
Mr.. Whelan will not con sent to rum.
although he has been asked.
Fort Lee
The lid is on in Fort Lee and it is
like pulling teeth to get any definite
information as to who will be candi-
dates in the coming campaign.
S. J. Corker. George Hill, Edward
White. William j. Mahoney, A Ker-
vein and Edward Cavanaugh have all
been mentioned as possible candf-
dates for mayor, but there is nothing
certain.
Corker has not fully decided just
what he will do and doesn't say he
will but on the other hand doesn't
say he wouldn't.
Some who are close to Mayor Hill
assure us that he has no intention of
entering the race this fall,
Edward White, we understand, has
been sought to be a candidate but
he refused to run for county office
and it is doubtful that he will be per-
suaded to run in the municipal elec-
ton.
Dame Rumor has it that Cava-
naugh will pass up the offer to run
for mayor while there is nothing to
confirm the rumor that William J.
Mahoney will run.
