Two Weeks of Calm Victory for Morrison and State Policy
A Raleigh dispatch dated March 4 reports the closing of a stormy session. The legislature, after six days of work in the last week, cleared public and local calendars. It faced intense political pressure, rebounded from early chaos, and passed major reform and bond measures. The session backed progressive aims especially in education and state finances, though it faced strong anti Morrison opposition over ship lines and debt limits. The governor won some fights while opponents gained ground on others, with a later review planned.
