Quiet season ahead as Iowa braces for hot political year
The Supreme Court upholds biennial elections as a constitutional amendment, signaling a busy year ahead. A legislature, governor, and all state officers face election, with senators and county posts on the slate. Gov. Cummins may seek the Senate, influencing a possible political program including a statewide primary, anti-railroad pass, and no-cent fare laws, while the railroad lobby looms over legislative action. The Temple Amendment for county representation in the House stands vindicated, avoiding midyear upheaval.
