Sixty two votes were seen as the minimum for a House speaker supported by the administration after 57 members backed the Fort Payne lawyer. Beck suggested five or six more votes might be secured, while Folsom and aides pressed rivals to withdraw. The Governor-elect, amid a flurry of hotel-room talks, said a sole Beck candidacy might be offered, though he expected the issue to be joined on the floor. Interim actions include canvassing election results and appointing committees as lawmakers meet for the briefing prior to May’s regular session.
