O'LEARY WILL GO AFTER THE HIGH
 SHERIFF OFFICE
Constable to Seek NOmina- ton Again--WithdreW
 Last Campaign

With the election of high sher- If for New Haven county entering into the aspect of the coming fall campaign, steps have already been taken to boost the candidacy for the office, on the democratic ticket, of Constable James O'Leary of Waterbury. The present in- cumbent, a republican, is High Sheriff James w. Geddes.
 It is practically assured that Sheriff Geddes will be renominated by the republicans at their county convention. He is now a resident of New Haven, because he lives at the county jail, but he was q for mer resident and postmaster of Waterbury.
 Constable OLeary,s candidacy for the post of high sheriff on the democratic ticket has been quietly pushed for many months past but with the fall campaign now only q few months away ac- tivity is being shown on q greater scale.
 The Waterbury man, it Is under stood, las been visiting the various cities and towns in New Haven county. interviewing town chair men and other party chieftains, in an effort to bolster up his cam paign for the nomination. Consta- ble O'Leary is an avowed candi- date fo: the nomination and will be in the race when the county convention takes place.
 Four years ago Constable OLeary was in the cid for the nomination. The county conven- ton took place in New Haven. At the last minute, in the interest of harmony, he withdrew and worked hard to put the democratic nom- inee across. This time he hopes to gain the honor himself.
 Just where the county conven- ton will take place Is not yet known. The committee named at the convention of four years ago to act on picking tho site of the 1884 session has not yet gotten together An effort will be made to have 1t held in Waterbury or another town or city in the Naugatuck valley so us to have the meeting place as centrally-located as possible.
