Sectarian Amendment Fight Rages at Convention
The constitutional convention faces a near inevitable clash over the Anderson amendment to bar sectarian funding, with petitions from First Baptist churches in Framingham and Franklin supporting the minority push. Some members seek substituting Anderson for Curtis, while others want both to go to the people. Committee rooms host split factions as debates center on library funding and the scope of prohibition measures amid testimony from Wylie, Tilton, Maywood, and others. The day yielded no major action beyond committee reports and public hearings attracting large crowds.
