MANY CANDIDATES
HAVE ISSUED STATEMENTS
Harry 8. o'conneIl, Sheriff As
pirant, Declares Himself-Dif-
fioulty Over Designations.

Candidates for elective office on the
| Republican ticket, with a few excep-
tions. have issued formal statements
announcing themselves as such, and
I, this. il is said. indicates that the
county committee has abandoned its
original intention to express prefer
ences.
| Everything points to the primaries
as the place to settle the question of
popularity. and. unless q sudden
change in plans takes place. the can
didates viii be left to fight it out
| themselves.
Harry 3. O'Connell. who aspires to
the chrieyalty nomination, issued his
formal announcement today, although
/ he has been actively in the race for
some weeks
Il am a candidate for the Essex
county shrievalty nomination of the
| Republican party, and | desire to thus
I enlist your aid in my behalf to that
| end" says Mr.. OfConnell 81 do not
| wish to urge any personal recon-
mendations of fitness for the position
other than to express my realization
I of the responsibilities connected with
4 the office of sheriff, and the feeling
| that from my experience in public
office it may not be deemed pre-
sumptuous to aspire for the opportun-
ity of serving the public in the higher
| Office.
THE Republican party has hereto
| fore favored me with its nominations
as a member of the Board Of Chosen
! Freeholders of Essex county and as a
member of the Board of Street and
Water Commissioners of the city of
Newark which our citizens indorsed
by electing me to both Offices. In the
performance of my public duties |
have always faithfully served the
peoples interests. NY record speaks
for itself.
Your aid and support In helping
1 me to achieve the nomination and
| election to this highly responsible
! Office to which / now aspire win be
most valuable and deeply appreciated,
and l will be glad of an early oppor-
| tunity to interview you personally re-
Y saRding the matter"
i At a nrcerfng grof--Fffffseenth ward
! Republicans. held in WendeIl's Hal
/ Springfield avenue and Eighteenth

. nounced his intentions and read his

There is considerable conjecture as
to what designations will be adopted
| by those candidates who have not as
| yet fled nomina ton petitions with
County Clerk Joseph McDonough.
| The case of Herbert w. Taylor
chairman of the county committee, is
attracting the most interest. He is a
| candidate for surrogate. but Fred @.
Stickel, jr., has pre-empted the desig-
nation Republican and Daniel F.
Gaven that of Regular Republican. .
| for their petitions for the surrogate
nomination. Mr.. Taylor, it is said,
cannot use either of these designa-
tions.
For sheriff, William B. Garrabrants
| gets away with the term "Republi-
can and Ralph B. Schmidt with
Regular Republican"
0'Connell. J. William Huegel and
c. William Heilmann must pick out
designations other than these.
IN choose one that fits as a Re-
publican candidate remarked
Huegel today, and O'Connell declared
that he had designation Of the Re-
publican brand already in mind, but
would not say what ii is.
