CAPITAL MUDDLE STILL UNSETTLED
Oklahoma City reports a push to replace the Putnam site with a senate backed resolution choosing a site by a legislative committee from each house. The senate still withholds women reporters on the house capital bill until more accessible terms are offered, and two new site proposals arise in the city. The Cortland and Culbartson plans compete for a million dollar capitol, while the Putnam plan may be ditched or backed with a bond guarantee. The houses adjourned after passing one bill to seek a solution to the deadlock as debates over Capitol location continue.
