Senator Meredith Praises Allen in Failed Bill Fight
Senator Meredith traveled home from Harrisburg last Saturday praising Senator Allen and Secretary Stone for backing the Billingsley bill. Despite concerted efforts by Allen and others, the measure failed as Philadelphia and Pittsburg opposed it and several expected supporters were absent. The Warren papers are criticized for blaming Allen, while Emery’s leadership and strong countercoalitions made passage impossible. Those who worked and voted for the bill deserve credit in defeat as well as in success.
