Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book summarizes the proceedings of the 36th Legislature of Texas, convened in a special session by Governor W. P. Hobby in September 1920. Following the adoption of the 19th Amendment to the US Constitution, the legislature met to address the implications for suffrage in Texas. Also under discussion was the question of safeguarding the upcoming general election following a ruling by the state's Attorney General. Many believed a "wide open" election would be fraught with issues including discrimination, fraud, and voter suppression. The author includes the text of the Governor's message to the legislature and the opinion of the Attorney General on the 19th Amendment. Readers interested in the history of voting rights in Texas and the United States will find value in this book.
