g with the Republican County Com
ssnittee between Old Nick and Old
.sOcean and not knowing how to jump
I'm the matter of candidate indorse-
sNnents, the free-rein privilege is being
sandulged in by the. various aspirants
s,for nomina ton at the September pfl=
.5maries -.
3 There is talk floating about that
There are some lively surprises que,
Afhat there will be several new eanai-
hates in the field within a day or two
-and that there may be an upset IN
falcnlations concerning the freehoio-
nrships and the office OF county SUI
pervisor.
= A deep feeling of resentment
~ pajnst the policy of permitting ap-
Nnointive members of ward and town
eship executive committees equal Vot-
ing privileges with elective members
as known to exist and an outburst OF
Expression is daily expected.
" 1t is asserted that the inner circle
~ the county committee, appears 10
Erxercise more influence with the ap-
Aointive members than 1t possesses
aver the elective members, ana are
.Auietly using that influence, As tne
sappointive members ontnumber the
elective members fvesto one, this IN
ineT circle lI1liuthtt - iARNi9 -
Question Voting Privilege"
Ii is still held that the voting
privilege given appointive members,
IS contrary to the intent of the law
sunder which county committee mem
beers are elected. The county commit
Wee does not permit appointiVe menu
bers to vote on questions so why there
2fore, II is asked, do appointive MEM
ehers of ward or township commit
ices have voting powers?
n So far as the State senatorshlp
Termination goes, there is nothing TO
~ but Senator Austen Colgate. For
Iurrogate Daniel p. Gaven and Fred
rstickel jr., are working hard, and
while County Chairman Herbert w.
Nraylor is an ayowed candidate, ne
doesn't appear to be making any
smoves toward obtaining indorse-
snents.
= There is a one two-three story told
nightly of Endorsements of Freehold
ssrs Richard f. Malta, Amos W. Har-
Prison and August f. Lacombe for
denomination. Former Assemblyman
EANilliam H. Roberts. former Free
Hholder Ferdinand Roemmele and for
sfner Assemblyman Thomas Goldingay
%are the announced candidates for the
etounty supervisorship.
Y In the sheriff race j. William Hue
-Eel, Harry B. O'Connell and Ralph B
SEchmidt are getting Endorsements
while c. William Heilmann, said to
have been the choice of the Benjamin
nsT Jones faction of the county COM
~1nittee, is taking things easy. If, in
fact. he Is doing anything at all in
ibis own interest.
= DR.. Couover in Demand.
;,. ~
fhe freeholdership or the county SUI
is expected to come from
friends of DR.. Joseph Conover, of
caldwell They want him to get in
sfhe race for either office. Some time
ago. It is said. DR.. Conover, who is
dentist, and very popular in western
Essex, desired to be a candidate for
sfreeholder The powers that be"
Said may. but doctor we'll give you
'1he nomination for Assembly"
: ''Not much" DIR. Conover is re-
'ported to have replied; mo going TO
sthe Assembly for me: no assembly
IMAM in mine. l want to be free
eholder."
Z Now. according to accounts, there
IL a disposition to pick the doctor out
Tor the supervisorship and let the
either candidates make the most of ii.
while no one felt like particularizing,
81 is not denied that DR.. ConoYer viii
'be soon heard from,
I Another rumor has 1t that Free
'holders Malta, Harrison and La
scombe are not to have things so easy
Jas it would appear.
Democrats Getting Busy.
Democrats have dec ded that the
Republicans have been enjoying
themselves alone about enough dur
ling the past month with meeting
holding and Endorsement getting, and
sare now ready to get into the swim
themselves.
Not having any particular fight
ON hand, the Democrats couldn't see
sany necessity for best ring them
selves. but as nominating petitions
must soon be ready they have start
ed to get busy.
Former Assemblyman John j.
! Bracken is looked upon as the best
bet for the shrievalty. His petitions
are in circulation and no trouble is
encountered in obta ming signatures.
Bracken halls from Orange, and
there is no disposition to let the
nomination for sheriff so TO the
; townships this year, particularly as
Bracken is strong outside of Newark.
and decidedly popular with Newark
ers. Dnuer SneriH James !. Iayidiu,
4 from late reports, is not disposed TO
push his own candidacy, although he
was quite active a few weeks ago.
Former Alderman John H. Dom
nelly, who halls from the Ironbound
district, as does Hyland. is out for
: the surrogateship, and 1t is reasoned
that two candidates for as many big
county offices cannot come from the
: same section.
Z Former Sheriff William Harrigan
: will be a candidate for the shrievalty
3 nomination. His petitions are al
. ready out.
