McFarlane Seen Likely to Become Iowa House Speaker
Des Moines reports predict Arch W. McFarlane of Waterloo will be speaker of the Iowa House in the Thirty-eighth General Assembly with 44 of 47 Republican votes pledged. He campaigned with C. E. Pickett managing, and Harding is said to favor him. His speakership would push progressive road policies, though he claims support for good roads rather than paved ones, potentially shortening the session.
