Legislative Forecast for Wyoming Legislature in 1900s
The Wyoming legislature to convene January 14 will include 46 Republicans and 38 Democrats, with a Senate split 16 Republicans 11 Democrats and the House 30 Republicans 27 Democrats. A Lincoln county contest seeks to discard three precincts Diamond ville Quiley Glendoe for fraud, potentially shifting seats to Democrats. Republicans may still hold a joint-ballot majority, but independents and Progressives could alter dynamics. Governor Carey faces pressure from a potential machine counter, while nonpartisan issues such as income tax direct election of senators and a state railway commission bill loom, along with an anti-railway pass law and other reforms.
