Iowa House deadlock mirrors 1874 stalemate for speaker
The Iowa House sits at fifty seats per side risking no officer election without compromise. In 1874 Republicans backed John H. Gear for speaker and Democrats supported J W Dixon in a ten day fifty fifty roll call. After varied motions and even poetry, a caucus compromise formed January 22 with Gear elected speaker and anti monopolists gaining chair and majority on investigating committees. The Senate stayed in session but business stalled until governor inauguration on January 27.
