Resignation and Reappointment Complicate State Printer Post
The governor renewed Stele Printer Seow's bond for 80,000 after Seow, who had resigned on December 12, was immediately reappointed. A new bond was filed Saturday, but the court did not approve it yesterday, with bondsmen listed as N ED Nudidun CT Seard and E W Hume of Franklin County and W. de Cérigas of Tupeca. The episode is viewed as an attempt to extend Seow's tenure for two years, prompting political debate within the Republican party about future leadership and potential United States Senate possibilities for Leland or Beaton.
