The statement to the effect that
ate Treasurer Richard Guenther would
sign from his Office on or about March
b next appears to be mistake. Mr..
uenther 1t is announced will not resign
neither there is an extra session of Con-
ess after March 4th or not. He is not
oliged to resign, by the United States
institution, and will not; for the reason
lat the Governor cannot appoint state
treasurer to succeed him for period of
more than four months. If Mr. Guenth-
or therefore, should resign on March 4, a
special election would be unavoidable
according to the state constitution. Such
an election would cost as much as gen.
eral election, or from $4,000 to $4,000.
