Foe Lashes At Bowers In State Senate Battle
Democrat Charles F. Lay attacked State Sen. William Bowers of Ottawa over legislative activity and attendance in a Democratic Central Committee meeting. Lay cited only two bills sponsored by Bowers in 1963, one on annuities for retired teachers, and a failed county judge pay bill. Lay noted Bowers missed 10 percent of sessions and commuted from Topeka, arguing he lacks effect on Franklin County issues as Bowers seeks a third Senate term for District 5, which covers Franklin and Miami counties and part of Johnson County.
