Election turmoil as TexasHouse ties on chaplain post
Austin reports the Texas House spent January 10 nominating minor officers and failed to complete organization over the chaplaincy. Three candidates, including Rev. J. T. Gillette and Rev. W. J. Gatlin, competed as others were elected to clerical posts. The body voted to pay for prayers. The Senate drafted new porters and opened with multiple bills. The Clarke-Nowlin contest proceeds in the House. Carnegie pivots to pipemaking, signaling a broader trust battle.
