The text argues the weekly payment law passed due to Senate shifts rather than individual House members. It notes Judge Gibson’s support, but credits Cowland and Witts with decisive backing, while downplaying Gibson’s role. The Brattleboro race favored Gibson over Vinton, yet the credit for passage remained disputed.
