Legislators Misrepresent People in Massachusetts House
Fred S. Elwell accuses Speaker Channing Cox and his brother, the leading life insurance attorney, of steering the House through a biased process. He claims Rep. Alvin Bliss uses his post as whip to push House bill 906 for personal gain, suppressing opposition and falsifying the will of the people. He cites a Feb. 11 and 14 sequence showing the bill’s defeat amid party discipline and calls for reform in the legislature.
