Senate OKs changes in delegate elections
Illinois Senate approves a plan to let the Republican State Central Committee require convention delegate candidates to run without a presidential preference on the ballot. The move, pushed by Sen. James R. Philip, aims to help Richard Connally win GOP support, but faces opposition from Netsch and others who fear party direction. The bill passed 30 to 26 and goes to the House for concurrence.

Senate approves petition examination changes for constitutional amendments
Illinois Senate passed a measure to set procedures for examining petitions to amend the state constitution and reduce House size. The bill, returning to the House with a technical amendment, faces opposition over limits on petition circulators and voter residency. Proponents say it helps election authorities handle large petitions while critics warn it narrows the right to petition.
