...unprecedented numbers for the Statewide primaries to pick candidates for Governor. Among Democrats, a vote for Governor Henry Horner's renomination might mean: 1) approval of that official's honest, mildly progressive administration; 2) disapproval of Chicago's Mayor Edward Joseph Kelly and his ruthless Cook County political machine. A vote for Candidate Herman Niels Bundesen might mean: 1) approval of Mayor Kelly and party patronage; 2) attachment to Publisher Robert Rutherford McCormick's Chicago Tribune, which threw its arch-Republican influence behind Boss Kelly's candidate...
...primary day" was over. In their Hotel Morrison penthouse. Mayor Kelly and Boss Patrick A. Nash gloomed with Candidate Bundesen. In the Hotel Congress, Governor Horner beamed amiably, plumped his chubby hand into those of well-wishers. As expected, Bundesen had piled up a big lead over Horner in Cook County. But, as a whacking rebuke to the rule of Bosses Kelly and Nash, downstate counties turned in a lead of 310,000 for Horner, insured him the nomination by 150,000 votes.

Permission being refused by the British, we went to the jungles of Borneo to do anthropological work on the so-called wild man of Borneo. During these eight months, we were together practically every minute of the time-night and day. Our principal topic...
...between metropolitan Chicago and rural downstate. The four chief candidates for Governor-two in each party-are only four of the numerous pins from which the cradle hangs. On the Democratic side Pin No. 1 is Governor Henry Homer, a lawyer whose enterprise and honesty landed him on the Cook County Probate bench in 1914. There his work put him in touch with many of Chicago's most influential families, who came to esteem him as highly as he was held among his fellow Jews. In 1932 the Roosevelt boom put him in the Governor's mansion...
