Warden Jones Retires and Reform Plan Shifts Palms
Des Moines reports Warden Newell N. Jones of the state penitentiary at Fort Madison will be succeeded by Prof. J. C. Sanders on April 1. The board cites policy change, moving away from punishment to reform, and aligning Fort Madison with Hunter regime at Anamosa to foster citizen reform. Jones led fourteen years, praised for management but aligned with the old punitive system. Sanders, born in Iowa, has industrial training and reform views, resigning to begin duties after a countrywide tour of penal work. The piece also notes primary ballot form concerns, Union County campaign plans from the anti-saloon league, and a Des Moines gathering of United Workmen and Degree of Honor in June.
