Add article description


The Thirteenth Oklahoma Legislature was a meeting of the legislative branch of the government of Oklahoma, composed of the Oklahoma Senate and the Oklahoma House of Representatives. The state legislature met in Oklahoma City, in regular session from January 6 to April 11, 1931, during the term of Governor William H. Murray.[1] Murray, a former House speaker, helped Wilburton editor Carlton Weaver become Speaker; both were members of the constitutional convention.[1] Despite his political maneuvering, the governor found opposition to many of his proposals.[1] The session marked the first instance that redistricting was done outside of constitutional requirements.[1]
