McAdoo advances in the Democratic field with around 119 to 115 delegates, though Wisconsin results undercut expectations and winter votes influenced results.

Senator Scott Denies Representing Both Sides in Insurance Suit
Des Moines April 7 Senator Ray Scott testified before the legislative insurance investigating committee denying he represented both sides in the Marshall county Modern Woodmen of America assessment case. He said he aided the plaintiffs in Teisinger vs Modern Woodmen and never represented the fraternal organization or received a fee. The suit saved plaintiffs over 5000 by cancelling deficiency assessments and allowed continued payment at former rates. The committee plans a final report by week’s end urging changes to Iowa insurance laws. Browne predicted the inquiry would prompt statute revisions and called for court interpretation of laws rather than executive action.
