Senate Pushes Biennial Elections In Massachusetts
The State Senate backed biennial elections for state officers and Legislature by about two to one. A bid for biennial sessions was rejected, 15 to 18. The House spent long on postponements and debated suffrage for women on liquor licenses, delaying Beverly Farms bill and related measures. The floor also discussed corporate powers for the Postal Automatic Telegraph and Construction Company and armory construction for militia use.
