Senate Moves Nicholson Bill From Tempers to Action
Senator Ale Donald crafts a strategy to pull the Nicholson bill from the temperance committee as Democrats push to force Republicans to accept their machine. The body notes a 35 to 4 vote on Senator Kern’s bill removing veterans from poor houses, while Senator McLean’s $850,000 blind institution bill failed for lack of majority. An investigation into Supt. Johnson ends in near certainty of reprimand, with a Friday report due. Late Thursday McCord flags Clinton county omitted from the Wishard Newhouse apportionment, a fix soon made to prevent erroneous enrollments and faulty pay scales.
