BRIGGS PICKED AS SUCCESSOR TO SENATOR DRYDEN.
THAW'S TRIAL is ON
IN EARNEST TODAY.
SiLZER LAUDS BRIGGS.

METUCHEN, Feb. 4:-State
Senator George S. Silzer said
last night he had heard that
Senator John f. Dryden ex-
pected to withdraw, but was
surprised to learn that he had
done SO. In reference to the
candidacy of Frank o. Briggs
as successor to Mr.. Dryden, lie
said:
briggs is as good candi-
date as the Republicans could
select. Personally, ! am still
for our Democratic candidates,
and Colonel Stevens in particu-
lar. Briggs, just previous to
the Colby primaries last year,
seemed inclined to sit on the
fence, but when he saw that
the mistake of nominating Rec
ord had turned the chances to
the regular camp, he Topped
that way.
~ shall abide by the caucus
choice to the last, and l firmly
believe that this week will see
the entire joint session decid-
ed upon one man. believe that
Briggs is the stIOngest-1nan the
Republicans could choose"
Perth Amboy evening news., 1907-02-04

His term of year will expire the lat
ter part of this month and some de-
sire him for another term, while 9TH
ers do not favor him. 1t seems that
a large portion of the congregation
are not in favor of his re-appointment
and We're looking about for another
rabbi to take his place at the eXpira-
tion of his term. Rabbi Sochet Sc
cured an inkling of what was going
on and at once called the special
meeting for last night. AT the close
of the meeting the congregation was
somewhat impressed, and it appears
likely that Rabbi Sochet will be re-
appointed,
