Democrats Save County Option Bill Amid Bribery Allegations
A political clash unfolds as Democrats defend a county local option bill while Gov. Hanly faces bribery accusations. Republicans push a night-rider funding plan guiding secret service hires through the state finance board, risking partisan patronage and taxpayer costs. The Senate trims the night rider appropriation, withholding funds for the Southeastern Hospital for the Insane, and a renewed Vincennes claim law is urged. House members oppose Hanly’s county option strategy, warning of a broader executive attack.
