Legacy of Governor Hughes Dominates New York Legislature
Albany June 26. The session closed with a strong record of broad, well crafted laws and limited scandals. Governor Hughes emerged as a central figure, vetoing local special bills and two landmark measures, notably the two cent fare bill and the equal pay bill for women teachers. He also pressed for state compensation on water power deals and faced a major clash over Otto Kelsey, Superintendent of Insurance, shaping a dramatic and decisive year for state governance.
