STATE PRINTER.1

Our newspaper friends continue to
advocate our fitness for the Office of
state printer. We appreciate their
good will, whether we get the Office or
not. The AllianceReView, the new pa
per,just started at Kiowa, gave us the
following complimentary notice in its
first issue:
Nv. G. Musgrove, Of Medicine Lodge,
the editor Of the Index. has been named as
nominee for state printer. Mr.. Musgrove is a
practical printer OF thirty-fve years expert
ence. and no better nomination could be made
for the Office. AS to his ability there can be
no question, as his efficient management of
the Index has shown. and his many friends
and the supporters Of the able organ of which
he is the editor, will be glad to note the popu
larity he has gained. The nomination is Of in
terest to all who have children to send to
school ON account OF the prices for education
al books. The present prices for school books
are outrageous, and totally uncalIed for.
and If the state would have books
printed for.school use, it would be a great saw
ing to the school patrons and TO the state. Mr..
Musgrove IL an alliance man and would labor
for the interest Of the people. We hope for
his success"
Frank Bowman, of the Lexington, Mo. f.,
News, one of the best job printers in
the state, and who learned his trade
under our foremanship, publishes the
following in his paper:
sour friend, Mr.. w. G. Musgrove, editor of
the Barber County Index. printed at Medicine
Lodge, Kansas, is candidate for state print
err. 1t affords US much pleasure to hear that
he stands fne chance of being elected. For
years we were employed in the same Of
fee with Mr.. MusGrove, and can truthfully and
honestly say he would fill the position to the
satisfaction of the people, as he is a practical
prtnter-and good one at that. We second his
nomination, and trust he will get there in
great shape. If 1t was in Missouri he would
have no trouble in getting the place. he being
well and favorably known throughout the
state. If 1t we're not that we are making SO
much money here, we would ask for job. He
should, and we believe will, receive the sup
port Of the whole press Of that state
Ashland Journal: NV. G. Musgrove, of the

Harper Enterprise: Brother Musgrove of

have W. G. Musgrove for state printer. The

Mr.. Musgrove will I'LL the bill ana get the ap
