that public may be refreshed and that
good citizen who doubt about whom he will support
the second primary, August &c. for Governor clearly
are drawn The Sentinel giving herewith lust
few from the testimony taken by the Legislative
mee named by the lower house to investigate conditions
the Insane Hospital Jackson Miss the OF
legislative session Of 1918.
There are two candidates for Governor Hon Oscar John
and 1t Gov Lee NJ Russell Mr. Russell is Bbo can-
date He being backed by bo and the stump
acts of the Bbo administration He therefore puts his O.
the Insane Hospital under the of apponee
Bbos. Dir. Butler the superintendent of the Hospital.
The prosecution of the War and the thousands Of other
things that crowded themselves the public mind
caused to forget the horrible conditions shown by the
ittee at the Hospital Conditions that
bauchey ewdnes and which showed that of the
tiens not only neglected. but cruelty treated while The
nocturnal hbidinousness carried on.
The public mind has doubt forgotten, too that when
this investigation started that 1t Gov Russell was credited
with saying nothing talk about bad cond
tons the Hospital and that the whole thing matter of
trying to make political capital -
stated his signature that the Legislature voted
Dr. Butler out he would Immediately reappont him and that Lit
Gov Russell and his were credited with DONG all they
could a that time to block the investigation.
The public mind is also asked think back the fact
Legislature aroused start mpeacl
proceedings against the of the Hospital DR.
Butler he handed in his resignation to prevent the whole
procedure the Hospital from being given the people of Mis-
sissipp Legislature remembering Gov Bbo threat to
appoint osted by legislative vote thing entire
different from Impeachment proceedings refused to stop
impeachment unless Gov Bbo would publicly state that he
would not reappOnt him.
Sentinel feels that only the present shameful political
Mississippi could justify in giving space to even
part the evidence which showed the awuy salacous and
degenerate conditions the Insane Hospital 1t therefore apo-
