19th Oregon Legislative Assembly

The 19th Oregon Legislative Assembly was scheduled to convene January 11, 1897.

[1] The Senate elected Joseph Simon as its president for the term, and conducted what business it could without the House's support.

Due to the House's failure to organize, no legislation was passed during the session, and Oregon failed to elect a United States Senator.

[citation needed] The legislature held a special session in 1898, from September 26 to October 15.

William Paine Lord was governor during the 19th Legislative Assembly, serving the final two years of his single 4-year term.
