According to his present plans he

Mr.. GIasscock has been so busy
looking over the institutions, that he
has had little time to discuss politics,
which at the. present time stands for
appointments. He declares that he
has steered clear OF the collectorsbIo
contest, and that he has not yet com
mitted himself as to any appointments.
While he has taken on side in t:ie

Is. nevertheless, taking an interest in

The governor expresses himself az
very well satisfied with his tour of

first-hand knowledge Of conditions
as they exist. White he is pleased
at the manner in which the work is
carried on in the institutions. his
observations have suggested mum

the necessity Of a state home for de.
pendent children, where young boys
and girls of tender age may be cared
for without forcing upon them the
association of older and more crime
hardened boys and girls.
