Governor and Council 10 show reason
why the resignation of Steward AMI
Treasurer Manning S. Campbell had
been asked, and to show the reason
why he should grant the request. The
hearing Was adjourned till p. NJ,
Monday, to give Mr.. Campbell time to

ferred. by the trustees through their
president, DR.. Seth G. Gordon.

Thursday, and testimony, by Dr.. Cor

Board of Trustees, DR.. Hedin, former

superintendent and ;r"asla.o- have

with the increasing age OF DR. san
born, and the assuming. more and
more of the duties OF the executive by
the treasurer, until he was practically
the superintendent. The testimony
tended to show, that through the lack
of cooperation, mostly because of the
assumption of Mr.. Campbell, of I'M
warranted duties, ii was impossible for
DR. Miller to make the muen needed
improvements.
Testimony developed the fact, that
the fire protection was in wretched
condition, principally because of the
negligence Of the treasurer who, ac-
cording To the testimony, faxed re-
port of the means of fire protection
about the institution.
Or. Miller. in his testimony, declared
that the treasurer had fatty disobeyed
his orders. and had disregarded orders
given time and time again. The busi-
ness of the institution Was in shape
OF which he was ashamed, and his at

The doctor went on, declaring this

bell during the last days of the adj
ministration of DIR. Sanborn and dur
ing the days when the doctor was in

the part of the treasurer was a means
of no small amount of protest on the
part of Dr. Sanborn. Things We're
done that were never reported to the
superintendent. This proved a matter
of great deal of worry To DR.. San
born. Upon regaininS al least a part
of his health, DIR. Sanborn was greatly
annoyed by this assumption on the
part of the treasurer. owing tt his
declining years. he offered no great
protest, at this time.

Almost Immediately upon the open
ing of the meeting of the Governor and
council, the matter of the controversy
between Treasurer Campbell and
superintendent Miller of the Maine In
sane hospital, and the reason for the
request by the trustees of the institu
ton for the resignation of Mr.. Camp
bell was taken up.
Manning 5. Campbell, steward and
treasurer of the institution, first APP
peared before the council, saying that
he was not conscious of any lack of
action, or of any cause that he should
be removed. He felt that he was at
serious disadvantage in not having
clear and definite charges to answer.
He thought that in all fairness that
the causes and facts and reasons why
he should he removed from office
should be placed on file with the Gov
ernor and council. He made such a
request and asked that the hearing be
continued until such time as he
could properly make defence of his
position.
Here a controversy as to the proce-
dure by the Governor and council de-
veloped among the councillors, while
some thought it should he delayed and
others felt that it should so on. during
which time Councilman Wright said
he deemed il eXpedient. in that all

government should say to any and all

your people in Mexico and we viii

That is our way out of the apprOach-

wage destructive war on
Mexico in order to protect

enough to do to protect our own peO-
pie in foreign lands.
