...Cleveland's mayoralty race had every prospect of being a model campaign. Democrat Carl B. Stokes, a Negro and son of a laundry worker, and Republican Seth Taft, scion of a distinguished political dynasty, are candidates of demonstrable ability and goodwill.

Even so, Stokes has retained widespread support among Cleveland's establishment. The Plain Dealer strongly reaffirmed its earlier endorsement of him as "the skilled professional" against Taft "the pleasant amateur."
