Dan Dean 9th Legislature Rail Road Fight Chronicle
The narrative follows Lincoln County Representative Reiter and Senator Condon in a high stake clash over a railroad commission bill. Reiter builds a eastern Washington bloc to block rail interests, using a bludgeon strategy and covert lobbying twists to secure passage of a factory inspection bill and defeat Kennedy’s substitute. The piece portrays a David vs Goliath style battle between young reformers and railroad-backed elites with key players including George Stevenson Judge Groscup W. W. Cotton and Senators Davis and Daker.
