To- MAKE PROBE THOROUGH
Conditions at the Racine County Asy-
lum will be Thoroughly Gone into
BY State Board With View of
Making Changes.

Members Of the state board of con-
troll, the state body which governs
state and county insane asylums, are
expected to visit Racine during the
present week and investigate charges
made by DR.. S. Sorenson, copies of
which were sent to the chairman of
the state board of control, not only by
DR.. Sorenson but by the board of
trustees of the county insane asylum.
The exact date the investigation will
be made is not known but it is under
stood that it will be Wednesday or
Thursday.
The trustees of the county asylum
urged the members of the state board
of control to come to Racine and in
vestigate the charges as filed by DR..
Sorenson. They desire a thorough in
vestigation and will assist in making
a probe of the conditions at the asylum
as now existing, and as existing during
ing physician. That there will be
charges made against DR.. Sorenson is
now the claim, it being alleged that he
neglected his duties in that he did not
make complaint during his two years
administration instead of waiting until
he was about to be ousted from office.
The asylum trustees and members of
the county toard of supervisors as
well as officials and attendants at the
county asylum are indignant over the
nature of the charges and declare them
untrue. They demand a complete in
vestigation and if any charges are
found to be true then the blame will
be placed where it belongs If the
charges are untrue then it is>desired
that all those affected by the attack
shall be exonerated. DR.. Sorenson will
be the chief witness at the investiga-
tion as he made the charges and he
must substantiate them.
The state board of control has in
spected the asylum at different times
and pronounced themselves as salts
fed with all conditions and declared
the Racine county institution to be
the model one Of the state.
The fact that certain inmates have
been discharged from the asylum they
having been declared sane and now
relatives demand their recommitment
to the insane asylum is to be one of the
matters to be investigated by the state
board of control. It is claimed that Dr.
Sorenson ordered these certain patients
discharged but Mr.. Lewis, superintend-
ent of the asylum refused to do so until
an order was received from the county
court.
1t is claimed that certain persons
have made practice of visiting the
asylum and urging the inmates to de-
mand a discharge because Of their san
ity and this practice has been some
what successful.

AN EMPTY HONOR
Politicians Fear There Will be No Can
didates for Justice of the Peace

There will be one office in Kenosha
this year for which there will not be a
mad scramble and that is the office of
justice of the peace and the leaders
of the various parties are getting ready
for fight to get any one to fill this
place on the ticket. It is reported
that retiring justice Of the peace,
George B. McGarron, who has served in
this capacity for number of years
will not seek the office again. The
opening Of the municipal court has
practically taken all of the work Of
the justice SO that the office is devoid
of any remuneration. The only thing
that it carries with it is the title and
it is not probable that many politicians
will be willing to spend any large
amount to get this title. go

WAIT FOR COOKS DECISION
Men Who Oppose the Nomination of
Senator LaF GILLETTE to Succeed Himself
Have no Settled Program as Yet
Expect Cook to Run

William D. Conner will manage the
campaign against United States SEN
ator Robert M. LaFollette in this state.
This much was definitely and finally
settled at the conference of anti-La-
Toilette leaders at the Auditorium in
Chicago Saturday afternoon.
E. A. Edmonds will retire from the
political field, and while he will hold
his place as state central committee
chairman he will have nothing to do
with the primary campaign.
The practically formal announce
ment of the assumption by Mr.. Con-
nor of the management of the cam
paign against Senator ItaFollette was
given out by men to whom the results
of the Chicago conference had been
intrusted.
Just what it means i'm the way of
candidates for the Republican nomina-
ton for senator and governor it is hard
to say, as this portion of the program
is not wholly completed as yet.
1t is, however, taken for granted by
most Of the Republican leaders that it
means S. A. Cook of Neenah will be
the candidate against Senator Robert
M. LaFollette for the Republican nomi-
nation for United States senator.
In fact, some people went SO far as
to say that the formal announcement
of Mr., Cook of his candidacy would
probably be made within the next ten
days.
Theys are some Coolvmen who cling
to the belief, however, that 6frs' Cook
will still prefer to make the run for
the Republican gubernatorial nomina-
tion. Should Mr.. Cook exhibit such a
desire it may be that Gov. Davidson
might be substituted as a senatorial
candidate.
The political outlook, however, seems
to be that Mr. Cook will accept the
overtures which have been made to
him to run for the United States SEN
ate and that the Cook organization,
which is already a working political
factor in this state, Will be the nucleus
around which will be the organization
for Mr.. Cook IS senatorial candidacy.
In fact, Gov. Davidson may not even
I. l.
selection of man to make the run
for the gubernatorial nomination will
rest largely with Mr. Connor He
would like to see District Attorney
August Beckus of Milwaukee in the
gubernatorial race and there is still a
chance that he will be the candidate
brought into the field In this case
Gov. Davidson will not be a candidate.
It is understood Mr.. Conner is con-
ferring today with leaders Of the Cook
organization and that meeting Of the
organization will be held in the very
near future at which announcement will
be made. In fact, it is said that S.
A. Cook will make no statements of
his attitude until he has had time to
confer with the leaders of the organi-
cation which has been formed of his
former supporters.
It is said that at the conference Sat-
urday afternoon in Chicago Isaac Step
henson gave assent to the plan for the
Conner leadership and that Mr.. Common
accepted the responsibilities with an
understanding he should at once begin
the work of making the organization
an effective power.

find his way thus to accomplish a great
good to American Journalism
The newspaper proposed is to be ma
