The Texas Senate debated a resolution by Senator McNealan to add Letter Clark to the Senate committee on statistics, Insurance, and history, facing opposition that the governor already named committees. Other measures included state education changes, higher pay for county school superintendents, and a proposed graduated land tax amendment to the constitution. The House invited Miss Molen Todd of California to speak on women’s suffrage, a program opposed by some members but pushed by Hurmeister. A pamphlet advocating for Texas Company of Houston interests sparked strong counterarguments in both chambers.
