Legislature Elects Palmer State Printer for Two Years
The legislature elected FP W Palmer of the Dubuque Times as State Printer for two years starting May 1861. Frank M Mills of Des Moines was re elected State Binder for the same term. The Republican caucus ballot showed Palmer leading on the final vote with strong support. A separate item notes Governor Kirkwood refused a Virginia requisition for Coppice, stating the papers were deficient. The piece also reprints a 1814 Jefferson letter on slavery and emancipation urging gradual action and education of the young.
