Eschbach Trapped in Goodrich Net for Indiana House Speakership
In Indianapolis on July 16, Jesse E. Eschbach of Warsaw, chief of the state accounting board, was chosen as speaker for a special session. Critics say Governor Goodrich engineered the move to keep control of the legislature, with Eschbach reportedly resigning to preside and possible reappointment after the session. Axbey argues Eschbach cannot hold two lucrative offices, citing Indiana constitutional provisions, while Tillman is noted as holding dual posts. The controversy extends to vacancies in the Senate and challenged governor powers to fill them by appointment or election.
