GOVERNOR NOT
TO PLAY POLITICS
WILL NOT DISMISS WARDEN
REID FROM MICHIGAN
CITY PRISON.
Will Not Permit Himself to Become
Entangled With Place Hunters
in Institutions.

indianapolis, Ind, July 3.-It was
learned today from an absolutely reli-
able source that the governor has
refused to play any politics in con-
nect'on with the reformatory.
Some time ago the governor re-
ceived letter from one of his friends
at Lagrange, prominent democratic
attorney there. 1t seems that Whit
taker met the attorney and cultivat-
ed him until he Finally wrote him
letter advising him that he might tell
the governor that there was a job
open at the reformatory at 500
month for amy friends he cared to ap-
foint.
The governor was appraised of the
act by the attorney, but the governor
IS said to have written back on the
next mail that he would not recon-
mend for appointment any man for a
Job at the refornlatory or at any
fher state institution.
The governors attitude was that
he didn't care to be tied up by Whit
;aker or any institutional superin-
tendent so that he would be under
obligations to them. He wanted to
rave his hands free SD that he could
make an investigation whenever one
was ueceS-o-,y
1t was learned that efforts have
'een made by contain strong demo-
cratic influences to bring about the
resignation OF Warden Reid. OF the
Michigan City prison. Reid is a re-
publican although he has not been
active in politics like Whitaker
1t was limited very strongly to the
governor that he ought to make ar
engagements whereby Reid could be in
duced to step down and out so thar
good democrat could take his place.
This proposition was turned down
very promptly by the governor who
says that he never has received a
single complaint regarding Warden
Reds administration The fact that
Reid is republican makes no differ
ence with the governor and he de
clared himself ernphatically to that
effect.
He says that Whittaker's politics
cut no figure in the present situation
and that he is not after him ON polit-
zeal grounds.
