Lincoln League convention backs Harrison Hovey and Gresham-Fairbanks picks
In Indianapolis on February 18 the Lincoln League Republicans met with about fifty reps. The group endorsed Harrison and Hovey and chose officers tied to Gresham-Fairbanks. A bill to replace the fossilized board of agriculture passed the senate 28 to 18 and awaits House action. Attorney General Smith plans suit over a $4 million charter claim against Terre Haute and Indianapolis railroad. Soldiers' monument funds face scrutiny amid fat salaries. The Indianapolis police system was reformed after years of inefficiency. Senators Hays and Hubbel clashed over a bill during the session.
