Owen Tangled Senate Battle Over Campaign Law
Senator Owen charged Republicans with delaying action on his corruption bill to influence the November election. He alleged a lumber trust spent 40,000 to defeat him for voting against Lorimer and warned he would fight adjournment plans to pass the measure this session. Penrose defended delays as protections against policy failures, while new spending figures and adjournment tensions layered the political clash.
