Osborne 1ndorses Move
ment Naming Superintend-
ent Favoring Reforms
Rattigan Is Suggested
Former Auburn Warden Led
in Movement to Name
Smith for Governor

Though William A. Orr has been Su-
perintendent of Prisons but few days,
plans for his displacement by those in
sympathy with a more modern system
OF prison management already are un-
der way. These plans have the in
dorsement and support of Thomas
Mott Osborne and those who backed
him in his fight to reform the prisons
Of the state.
Authority for these statements comes
from close friends of Mr.. Osborne, who
declare they have his word for it that
he is not candidate for Prison Super
intendent or any Others position in the
Prison Department. Since the outbreak
of the war he has been in charge of
the naval prison at Portsmouth, N. H.,
and Secretary Daniels's closest adviser
on prison matters.
1t is not his purpose, his friends say,
to leave this work half accomplished,
the more so as with the inevitable let
ting down Of discipline among the
newer men in the navy, an increase in
the number Of men that may be ex-
pected to incur prison penalties for
violations of regulations is to be looked
for
For the position of prison superin-
tendent this group as yet has no can
didate and it is not thought likely it
will seek to name him. The man most
likely to get their Endorsement is
Charles F. Rattigan, former warden of
Auburn prison, under whom the Os-
borne system of prison management
was first tested. Rattgan is the Demo
cratic leader of Cayuga County.
In h0 >f
element, the general clearing up of the
prisons of the state is far more i'm
portant than the selection of one to
administer them. This, it is asserted
cannot be accomplished without an in
vestigation into the conditions that
have prevailed for the last four years
1t therefore is to be expected that
an investigation will be asked under
the Moreland act.
