Inauguration at State House Highlights Direct Vote Reform
Public reception at the state house marked a formal inauguration. Chief Justice Weaver administered the oath to Governor Cummins and Lt. Gov. Garst. Cummins urged a constitutional convention to allow direct voter election of U S senators and for direct presidential ticket votes. Lincoln proposed a $1 gun license to enforce game laws, citing Holmba and a $60,000 Quail import fund in Hi nola as precedent. Official canvass shows Cummins leading by 20 872 and Garst by 49 152 in governor and lieutenant governor races respectively. Republicans win several state offices with substantial pluralities.
