Senate reports on Danville riot and pension law changes
The majority Senate Elections Committee report claims the Danville riot was premeditated to raise a race issue and intimidate blacks, with telegrams cited to support Democratic party orchestration. The minority argues the investigation aimed to aid Republicans in the presidential canvass and to revive outrage narratives. The Pension Laws bill, amended, favors female nurses of ninety days service with eight dollars a month, with disability parity for those disabled. A constitutional amendment substitutes a six year term for President and Vice President, restricting eligibility and succession.
