VIII Be Quite Contest for ONCE of
State Printer.

1t looks as though there would be
four candidates in the race for the
Republican nomination for state
printer They are Ewing Herbert, T.
A. McNeal, albert T. Reid and w. c.
Austin Each man is strong candi-
date. and will have a good fighting
chance 70 win.
Reid will have the backing of the
so-called machine" crowd as Nc
Neal and Herbert are both hostile to
the machine and friendly to the
Stubbs element. Austin is not 50 well
known as the other candidates, and
while he is an able and clean young
man, he will be handicapped because
of the fact that each Of his opponents
is very we'll known throughout the
state.

this makes it much the greatest SUD

bigger undertaking than any Alpine
