CANDIDATES NAMED REPORTS DEMANDED
0ld-Time Democrats Of Montclair OPP
posed Nomination of an italian
for Member of Council.

1t was an old-fashioned meeting that
was held last night in Herald Hall by the
Democrats of Montclair. AT times 1t was
lively and then again all was harmony.
The principal cause OF trouble was from
the Fourth Ward. Several old Democratic
war horses Of that ward refused to support
an italian for member of the Council,
which the leaders want done. Another res-
son was that the heads Of the Democratic
Club refused to indorse DIR. Henry ]. Lehr-
man for the position of superintendent Of
county roads. but instead, had John Blon-
del appointed, who they declare is a Re-
publican.
Everything passed eff quietly, however.

FOUR SEEK MAYORS JOB.
Third Ward Republicans in Kearny
Indorse Brock.

The Third Ward Republican Club, Of
Kearny. sprang a surprise last night by
indorsing -ex-Councilman Louis NJ. Brock
for Mayor against John R. o'Connor.
While Mr.. Brock had been incidentally
mentioned for the place there was no par
ticular stir in his behalf in the open and
the putting forth of his candidacy makes
four announced candidates to succeed
Mayor e.. II. Goldberg. The action Of the
first district, First Ward, Republicans to-
night will probably determine who will to
finally in the race.
Should Henry Crookall be Endorsed In
James Brierley's bailiwick the latter will
probably withdraw, leaving the fight be-
tween Brock, O'Connor and Crookall, al
though the former has not announced
publicly thai he will be a candidate.
There is every evidence that the contest
is to be largely a divisional one, the
A~rlingtonians claiming that the Mayor
should be theirs this time, Mayor Cold
berg being a resident Of the lower section.
The Third Warders did not instruct
their town delegates, which has caused
considerable surprise. 1t is inferred from
this action that e. T.. Knapp stands ss
their candidate for councilman against
Samuel B. Terry. who will help make UP
the OConnor ticket.
