Senator Carpenter Teeters on Resignation Amid Charity Board Turmoil
Senator Carpenter is sick of investigations and may resign. Governor Merrill may appoint Senator McTaggart to the Board of Charities Investigating Committee as Senator M A Householder faces possible removal. Judge Hazendo refused to grant Senate Householder’s injunction against the committee. The asylum panel is expected to finish Dr Entberg’s review soon and adjourn for ten days before Householder’s case. A personnel shakeup on the committee appears likely before the case proceeds. Merritt defeated. Wamego will not send the governor’s appointee to the convention as Merritt loses the delegate vote to Tracy.
