Democrats Lead Field in Cook Replacement Watch
The Lorain political scene centers on who will replace Common Pleas Judge D A Cook if he resigns Feb 1. Prosecutor Paul Mikus leads a guess list with possible Lorain County Democratic backing, while Henry Webber and Le Roy Kelly are also mentioned. If Cook resigns before Feb 8 both parties may file for the unexpired term ending Dec 31, 1957, with gubernatorial appointment by Frank Lausche possible in interim. Atty J W Dilgren is the lone Republican name discussed, with bar associations historically affecting such choices. Pincura’s gall bladder operation complicates the timing, raising the chance Cook holds the seat longer if unable to resign by Feb 1.
