Twist Tigers Tail Vote Defeat Moves Governor Toole Veto First Time
The licensed gambling bill failed 34 to 22 in the state legislature committee of the whole, as Stapleton of Silver Bow argued revenue benefits but the enacting clause was stricken. The house approved salary hikes across offices, adopted the Bertillon prisoner identification system, and passed bills on sheriff payments and state printing. The senate killed the railroad commission bill while supporting eastern district changes, and governor Toole issued vetoes over concerns about disenfranchising voters, with two 90 day residence bills headed to his signature for Normal school expansion and related measures.
