for bringing Crawford and Cherokee
counties into llne." The ADVOCATE
said nothing Of the kind. 1t simply
said that Mr.. Cliggitt had done his
part In the campaign. It was not
foolish enough to presume that one
man could reVolutionize politically
two entire counties. The result was
NO doubt due to determined effort on
the part of sll the Jealous workers Of
those counties.
Lyman Nsugle of the Wellington
Voice has made formal announcement
Of his candidacy for State Printer.
He says: "The editor of the Voice is a
candidate for State Printer. We have
entered the race at the solicitation of
several friends in different parts Of the
State and In the same spirit that
Charles Dickens attributed to his man
Barkis. We lay no claim to the Office
except upon the basis Of merit. We
want to see this administration choose
the very best men In the State to oc-
Cupy the various posts of honor and
emolument and If the editor Of the
Voice is lacking in any essential quail
6cstion we hope the Legislature will
decide against us and choose more
abler' man"

A. A. Stewart of the Manhattan Re
public is not a candidate for State
Printer, but has decided to ask for his
old position as Superintendent of the
Deaf and Dumb Institute at Olsthe.
This action is prompted by a general
demand for him for that place. The
Populist and Democrat committees of
J johnson, the county in which the in
stitute Is located, have unanimously
adopted resolutions asking his reap
pointment. Both the Democrat and
Populist papers there urge that it be
done. All this is done voluntarily
without any suggestion from Mr..
Stewart. His work In that institution
was highly satisfactory to everyone
and the Governor will not regret 1t if
he honOrs him with a reappointment.

The question of jurisdiction In the
Santa Fe receiver case was decided
Monday by Judge Foster, upon which
argument was made last week. Judge
Thsyer sat In the case also. The two
Judges held that Judge Myers court
had jurisdiction and the case was re-
manded. This Is the case In which
Judge Myers, who is a State District

The report of the Treasurer of the
Kansas gold Democrat committee
shows that $1,547 was expended for
campaign purposes. AS the party

were being prepared 1t was estimated
that the expense Of an extra ticket,
which included the printing Of the
ballot and It's publication, would be
about $4,000. If that estimate was
correct, then it cost about 80 for every
vote cast for this ticket.
