LONG RESIDENT OF COUNTY
Has Made Splendid Record in the Pub.
lie Service and Wide Support Is Given
to His Candidacy in Both the City
and the County Districts.

County Highway Commissioner, John
Herzog today announced himself as a
candidate for the nomination for Sher-
if of the county on the Republican
ticket and the announcement caused
quite a little stir among the people of
the county who are interested in things
political. Papers for the nomination of
Mr.. Herzog will be put in circulation
at once and he promises to make
strong campaign for the nomination
and election.
Few men are more widely known in
Kenosha county than Mr.. Herzog. He
has been a resident of the town of
Somers for more than twenty five years
and during this time he has been very
active in the business and political life
of the county. He served for five
years as a member of the county board
from the town of Somers and gave up
his leadership of the town to accept
the Office of Highway Commissioner. He
has made splendid record during the
five years that he has held this position,
BE took hold Of the road work Of the
ee1aty when it yrs in badly targled
condition and during his years Of se1y-
ice the work has been brought to such
high grade of perfection that Kerr
osha county roads are among the best
in the state.
81 am a candidate for Sheriff, +"
said Mr.. Herzog this morning, "and
I am going to ask the people of the
county for their support. I have lived
in the county for twenty five years
and have tried to be a good citizen.
The work that have done in the pub
lie service is the only promise that
can make to the people. If I am
elected am going to do my best to be
good Sheriff.
Mr.. Herzog is going to have the ae-
tive support of many of the Republi-
can leaders in the county. Up to the
present time but two Republican can
didates for the nomination for Sheriff
have put in an appearance but with
the outlook for a Republican year it is
expected that there will be the usual
long list of aspirants for the position.
| County Clerk Jones has had many re-
| quests in regard to nomination papers
but up to the present time but three
candidates have gone into the cam
paign far enough to put papers in cir
culation. The possibility of state
conference of the Republicans has
caused some of the candidates to with
hold the circulation of their papers in
order to find out just what is going TO
be doing in state politics. The Demo
Gratis Of the county have already got
well under way in lining up a county
ticket and it. is expected that following
the state conference in Milwaukee to-
day there viii be string of petitions
put in circulation which will keep the
Democrats busy signing them.
1t is pretty certain that there viii
be no united action by either the De-
mocracy or the Republicans in the nam
ing of county tickets. Every eandi-
date viii have to "paddle his own
canoe' until after the primary cleo
ton is held and party candidate select
ed at which time the party committees
Will be ready to take hand in the
| fighting.
| Nibbles about the political counter
indicate that there viii be an unusual
| " large number of candidates for state
Offices and this always adds interest to
the fall campaign.
