...Nicholas in downstate Springfield to pledge fealty and plead for places on the party slate. Finally, the state's dozen or so top Democrats gathered, as they always do, in the smallish Sherman House office of the Cook County chairman, Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley. Last week, almost four months before the state primary, King Richard's court announced the Democratic nominees...

Its favorite subject is the generally uncritical attitude of Chicago's papers toward the political machine of Mayor Richard Daley. When Black Panthers Fred Hampton and Mark Clark were killed in a Chicago shootout two years ago, the dailies at first did not question the official version: that the Panthers fired first and brought the fatal fusillade on themselves. But the Review devoted a spe- cial 16-page issue...
