Edwards recent advice to the Mid

various offices in that county and
the fact that the term of Prosecu-

more than ordinary interest.
Both Mr.. Stricken and Senator
Thomas Brown of Perth Amboy are
candidates for the prosecutorship,

sition. Mr.. Stricken is an active as
pirant for re-appointment and has
had the support of newspapers and
