ber of papers over the state have pub
lished statements to the affect that
copies of the "Blue Book" of the state
are to be had on request, and the
Offices of the secretary of state and
governor are being flooded with ap.
plications which they cannot fill. The
legislature was economical on the
Blue Books, and cut the number to
the lowest possible limit. While
there are a number of the books for
distribution, they are in the hands
of the different members of the last
legislative session, and those desiring
copies will do we'll to make early ap-
pl:cation to the members from their
counties, as any request to the state
departments is only waste of time
and postage, as the supply given to
the secretary of state is not for dis.
tribut;on other than by specific in
of the legislature as to the
manner of their disposal.
