Political ferment as rival parties rally in Illinois city

A chaotic scene unfolds with the Progressive Republican League formed by Merriam’s Boy Scouts and the Seven Sisters as supporters stage a Saturday night banquet. Dems rally behind Judge Fitch and Coburn while warning of graft, gas mains, and street repairs amid local-improvement scandals and calls for reform.

Chicago Taxicab Rates Debate and School Reform Plan

City council faces a proposed taxicab rate hike from forty to sixty cents for the first half mile and twenty cents per additional passenger, with extra charges for packages and each extra rider. The measure prompts defense from independents and opposition from cab firms fearing closures, while Chicago also explores a vocational education push led by Dr. James McFatrich to train youths for specific trades, converting South Division High into a girls vocational school and opening multiple specialized programs. Mayor Harrison may also create a fire inspection bureau within the fire department, after urging by the Woman's Trade Union League and chief Seyferlich. The Republican party pushes to move its national convention to Chicago, with a $75,000–$100,000 guarantee and lobbying by the Association of Commerce and civic bodies.
