Maine Legislature Organized in Maine Capitol Amid Uncertain Returns
The Maine Legislature opened with Republicans forming the Senate and House, while Fusionists largely abstained. Key offices were filled with Joseph A. Locke as Senate President and George W. Weels as House Speaker, and a committee was appointed to seek Supreme Judicial Court guidance on the legality of the organization. The session adjourned until January 17 as questions about seating and authority were sent to the court.
