Meigs Wins House Speakership in Bitter Olympia Fight
In Olympia on June 24 Leo D. Metge won the speaker’s gavel after a two hour clash in the house that ended with a 47 to 43 vote. A. S. Roth became senate speaker as Gov Hay announced a special session and sought impeachment action against Schively. The Shively report calls the official corrupt and unworthy, citing extortion from insurers and mismanagement in the Washington hospital project. A Los Angeles grand jury indicted an unnamed man for a $30,000 mail robbery at the local post office.
