Springfield Article Setstle on Corporate Constitution
May 26 Springfield delegates in a constitutional convention finished considering eight sections of a new corporate article.

Oscar Caristrom called the clause pernicious while others supported a stock with non voting power and cumulative voting. The convention kept the Illinois Central Railroad revenue distribution as outlined in the 1891 charter.
