...Illinois delegate-selection race will be much more important than the separate preferential vote, commonly called the beauty contest. But the Democratic competition for 155 delegates stands to be inconclusive. Reason: nowhere on the ballot is the name of the most important Democrat in the election-Chicago Mayor Richard Daley. His Honor, aiming to be a major broker at the convention, has filed slates of candidates committed to a favorite son, Senator Adlai Stevenson III. The Senator is not actively stumping, but so magic is his name in Illinois-and so great is Daley's clout-that Stevenson should...
...classic confrontation. Walker, urbanely handsome and acerbically independent, is running for a second term against the venerable Democratic machine of Chicago Mayor Richard Daley. Hewlett, folksy and wisecracking, is running with machine support. The outcome will go a long way toward determining the political leadership of Illinois when Daley, 73, finally bows out. Indeed, Daley hand-picked Howlett to fight Walker, whom the mayor never liked and now despises because of his attacks on the machine.

...already extremely powerful. Big labor wants him. So do many Congressmen and Governors. Even some of the liberals who showed contempt for him in 1968 and 1972 now point out carefully that they never were really comfortable being against him. He has renewed his ties to Chicago Boss Richard Daley. "People are happy to see me wherever I go," he says. "I've never had it this way before." He seems almost incredulous as he adds: "They...
...anxiety among police chiefs elsewhere, few of whom can match Chicago's record: 18% minority representation in its 13,500-man force. The Chicago Tribune, while editorially criticizing the city for its failure to produce a workable plan, called Marshall's solution "absurdly arbitrary." Grumbled Mayor Richard Daley: "A quota system is alien to America. We will fight this as long as we're around. What about the Polish, the Italians, the Jews-and don't forget the American Indians. They were here first." What probably irritated the aging (73) but still feisty Daley even more...
