Illinois (26). A weak Democratic Governor, Otto Kerner, is up for reelection and figures to hurt the ticket. Racial tensions are plaguing Chicago Mayor Daley's Democratic machine. Kennedy won by a mere 8,800 votes in 1960, would probably lose the state to Goldwater today. If they convinced Illinois that they are not too liberal, Romney and Scranton would also have a chance...
Signs of Objection. A consequence of the Negroes' heightened militancy was that it brought some signs of dismay and hostility among Northern whites. In Chicago, Lawyer Stephen Love, a white member of the N.A.A.C.P., angrily resigned from the organization because its leaders refused to apologize to Mayor Richard Daley for the jeering he received at an N.A.A.C.P. meeting. In Washington, Ohio's Democratic Senator Stephen Young warned that if any Negro demonstrators try a sit-in demonstration in his office he will "personally and forcibly" throw them out. In New York City, demonstrators besieging a White Castle hamburger...
More than You. No sooner did Dick Daley sit down than Dr. Lucien Holman, 42, a Joliet dentist who heads all N.A.A.C.P. activities in Illinois, stood up. "I don't agree with anything Mayor Daley said," cried Holman. "Everybody knows there are ghettos here. And if those of you from Mississippi think you're the first persons ever bitten by police dogs, you're wrong. That little technique began right here in the sovereign state of Illinois. And we've got more segregated schools here than you've got in Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana combined...
When Holman finished, Daley stalked out scowling. Next day he had still more to scowl about: as he marched through downtown Chicago at the head of the N.A.A.C.P.'s Independence Day parade, there were some ominous portents-signs saying such things as MAYOR DALEY, WHAT IN HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE? And when, at parade's end, Daley tried to address a throng of some 20,000, a terrible to-do broke loose. As Daley faced the crowd, there were boos, hisses, and chants of "Daley must go ... Down with ghettos." For more than ten minutes...
...Kill Him!" At least, Daley escaped any physical threats. Those were reserved for a Negro speaker later on. The Rev. Dr. J. H. Jackson, president of the National Baptist Convention, U.S.A. Inc., biggest Negro religious denomination in the U.S. (5,000,000 members), recently had made a statement opposing a mass Negro march on Washington. For that statement he now received thunderous boos. Unable to speak, Jackson started to leave. A group of about 50 closed around him, shouting "Kill him, kill him!" They pinned Jackson against the platform until he was finally rescued by ushers...
