A Toole plan would split Silver Bow delegations to give one majority, while the governor signals wariness over legality and a World’s Fair exhibit funding. Senate talks include War Department compliant measures and a Parberry health update. A local letter urges Dillon to welcome smelting and sampling works to revive business.
