A related measure, Barbour’s nonpartisan Chicago mayor and alderman elections bill, passed 28 to 10 and moves to the house. Governor Lowden signed the Bancroft bill shielding university scholarships from most tuition charges with an emergency clause taking effect immediately. Legislative investigations into the state board of equalization and Pullman company assessments were postponed to May 19 for prep work. Dunlap then attacked labor leaders in a continuing speech.
