GOVERNOR
WINS FIGHT
Warden Ray Baker is DepOSed
and George W. COVing
Appointed Warden

Following the sensational charges by
Governor Oddie that the administration
of the State Prison was extravagant
and unbusinesslke, and the exhaustive
hearing had by the prison board as to
the truth of the charges, Warden Ray
Baker was on Monday last deposed
from his position as Warden and George
W. Cowing, of Carson City appointed
to take his place.
Upon taking Office in January 1911,
Governor Oddie appointed Mr.. Ray
Baker warden of the states prison
Mr.. Baker was intensely interested in
the work of reforming prison conditions
and making the surroundings of the
prisoners not only sanitary and comfort
able, but in giving to the men such
privileges and attentions as would
awaken the better nature of the con-
vict if he possessed such.
Mr.. Baker, following his inclinations
and with the full support of the Cover
nor, made many needed reforms in the
surroundings and the treatment of the
prisoners.
And here is where the trouble began.
With his whole interest wrapped up in
the humanitarian side of the work. the
matter of economical administration
seemed to be lost sight of to a very
large extent.
The refusal of Secretary of State
Geo. Brodigan to approve many of the
demands made upon the treasury by
the Warden on the grounds that they
were eXtravagant expenditures, and
the discovery that the cost of mainte-
nance per capita was much higher un-
der Warden Baker than under previous
administrations, finally forced the gov
ernor, as strictly business matter, to
prefer charges against the Warden,
after having asked for his resignation,
which was refused.
Governor Oddie has from the begin
ming of the unfortunate incident been
forced by his sense of duty to the state
to file charges against the warden and
to substantiate them by evidence sub
mitted to the Prison board, consisting
of the Governor, Attorney General
Cleve Baker, democrat brother of the
Warden, and Secretary of state George
Brodigan, a democrat, opposed polti-
