The anti-Ringer candidate for superintendent of police is Kenry W. : .
Dunn. - Former Mayor Dahlman says : "If my ticket i3 elected, I'll be
Mayor and Henry Dunn will be police superintendent." '.' v
Henry Dunn was once Chief of Police. .
Was the police force a model of efficiency in those days?
v The newspaper which now supports Dunn was then crusading against
. houses of crime. It said : "Those places have been notorious. They
have made no effort at concealment. There has been no necessity for it.
If the police did not know of them, they are the1 only people in the city
who did not and they are the very people who are paid to know them
and keep them closed.", , '
The question today is: RINGER or DUNN?
