Submission Bill Clears Legislature Unopposed in 1920
The submission bill to put a constitutional amendment before Wyoming voters at the next general election moved through the Senate and House without opposition after a tense session. A late Republican caucus and a dramatic vote by Speaker Jones nearly stalled it, but the bill advanced via committee of the whole with a minor spelling correction and heads to the governor for signature. Rep Rendall praised the smooth passage while Rep Wilson briefly broke unanimity with a negative vote before the measure prevailed.
