Evening Republican, Volume 22, Number 160, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 9 July 1919 — GOVERNOR delays date OF EXTRA SESSION. [ARTICLE]
GOVERNOR delays date OF EXTRA SESSION.
The Honorable W. L. Wood’Aiad a letter this Wednesday noon from Governor James Goodrich in reference to the convening of the Indiana General Assembly in special session!. Some time ago the governor wrote letters to each of the members of the assembly, asking them about several matters in connection with the proposed special session of that body. He mentioned as a date for the session the last week in August. Representative Wood objected to this date for the reason that it was the same as that of the Indiana state fair and urged that the hotels would be crowded and that there would be many other objections to holding the session at that time. The governor found from the replies of other members of the assembly that their views coincided with those of Representative Wood and the governor has decided to call a special session at a later date. He did not indicate in his letter just what date he would name.
