Mayor, Joseph w. Marini, will be his
opponent on the Republican ticket.
Whether or not Edward A. Kenney

thought he will and in that event

In Fort Lee, present Mayor Ed

The running mates of candidate
Banville in Cliffside Park will be
Frederick Dyer and William r. Han
retty for Councilmen, William Sper-
! ling for Tax Collector and John
Timony, the present Assessor, for
Assessor.
The Republican candidates for the
Council in Cliffside Park are pres
ent Councilman Joseph c. Woodcock
and Nicholas Mahoney; for Collector,
the present Collector, Herbert L.
Post, and as yet no one has been
mentioned as Assessor and Timony
may be unopposed.
In Fort Lee neither of the retiring
Councilmen will seek reelection and
Thomas McNally, Philip Uahm and
Harold Greer will contest in the
Democratic Primaries for the two
places to be filled. The Republicans
are holding meeting tonight at
which their candidates. will be an
nounced. To date only one Republi-
can candidate has declared himself

sade, for Councilman.
