BATTLE 0f VOTERS
 IN CITY TUESDAY
Interest Focused in Fifth and
 Sixth Ward Contests

council, an entire board or select men, force of seven constables and one-half the membership of the school committee.
 Incidentally. the voters of the fifth ward. will make their selections in one of the most unique contests that this ward. former Alderman Peter J, Pajewski, who was deposed as chairman of the police board after ! liquor raid at his drug store, and against whom a verdict was directed in . slander suit brought by Police Chief William C. Hart recently, is running for alderman on the repub- lican ticket on a 'yindication" plat form.
 Pajewski has made this the issue of the campaign as has his commit tee of handlers. The ward has been canvassed in his behalf and every where groups have been met with man is entitled to an opportunity to remove the stigma of the court ac- ton.
 Opposing him on the democratic ticket is the present alderman, Frank zapatka. who. liH, Pajcwski, enjoys wide popularity in his dis trict. He entered council service in 1925 when he was chosen by the vo- ters of the fifth district through the splitting of tickets. his democratic associates going down to defeat when Stanley karpinski was elected alderman on the republican ticket. karpinsk withdrew from tho coun- cil a year later and B. A. Grysbow- ski became alderman by vote Of the common council. In the following year. Zapatka and Grysbowski met at the polls as rival candidates for alderman and Zapatka vas the vic tor.
 Of the si,l porting tickets-Josep Mlynarski and Luther Abraba nson. republicans. and John J. Kata and James Degnan, democrats--the lat ter is generally believed to be the stronger Kata and M1ynarski are both in business and will draw heav- fly from the so-caIled Polish vote. Degnan by reason of previous scrv- ice in the common council and lengthy residence in the ward. is believed to be a better vote -gettor than Abrahamson. new man in politics.
 G. Q. P. Hopes to Win Sixth
 Although the sixth ward has con- sistently sent democrats to the con- mon council a hard fight is assured in the district. Councilmen Frank l.. Conlon and Samuel Sablotsky arc candidates for reelection on the democratic ticket, and are opposed by Edwin L. Sandberg and William W. T. Squire.
 The republican orga niZation, hope ful that tho changing political com plcxion Of the ward which has ac- companied development in Belvidere has reached the point where the G. Q. F.. may claim the district, will concentrate considerable part Of it's forces in the ward. The demo- crats. realizing that to lose the sixth would be a serious blow to party morale. will do likewise.
 
 by Mayor Paonessa as democratic nayoral candidate. but lost by small margins by the councilmanic ticket. Albert J. Murphy and Charles L. Solomon will lead the days drive hy the democrats to switch the district. Messrs. Murphy and Solomon are be- lieved to be two of the strongest democrats ever put forth as council aspirants.
 The republicans O the ward have a ticket made up of Joseph Land wehr and Walter J. Nelson. An evi- dence of their strength is seen m their comparatively easy victory in the republican primary when they led Frank J. Narkum and Lou's A. Horwitz by wide majorities to cap ture the nominations.
 Although Donald L. Bartlett has refused the democratic nomination as alderman in the third ward, and Attorney William F. Curtin has spurned a similar offer to endorse him as councilman. it is possible TOT them 10 be elected on that tlcke'. They are the regular nominees o1 the republican party, who were eh- dorsed by the democratic toWa co'h- mjttee. Here. William E. N1loef has been nominated by the AeiIio- crats to oppose Councilman W. ;. Warner.
 First Ward
 Alderman David l.. Nair. cand'- date for reelection in the first vet ing district. has threatening oppos'- ton in the person of Attorney Maurice Rosenberg who Will 1uh under the democratic banner. Coun- ci,man William s. Scheuy. who nroves to De the biggest >ote-gettar Tn the republican primary, IS on both parties tickets Howard But Ter is democratic nominee to bati'e if out with Councilman H. stuart Hanes. republican. |
 The second ward will witness wh'' will probably be the least interesting contest of the day, this being due 10 inc fact that neither side has con- lucted an aggressive campaign, DOT sitting back apparently sa''sfled 10 accept the verdict of the voters | Councilmen John Halmberg and John Milford are the republican candidates. and Matthew McGrat1 | and Charles Farmer are running as democrats.
