...support not Dieterich but a candidate of his own choice. Result was that Mr. Dieterich regretfully decided not to run. Governor Homer's entry was an amiably conservative downstate Congressman named Scott Lucas. To oppose Mr. Lucas, Mayor Kelly and Cook County's Democratic Committee Chairman Patrick Nash chose Michael Igoe, a seasoned Irish politician whom Franklin Roosevelt had appointed U. S.

Last week, when the Kelly-Nash machine was upset by Governor Henry Homer in the Illinois primaries (sec p. 13), Editor Harris might have felt some justifiable pride in having helped. But he was too full of worries. There was not enough money in The Beacon's till to pay for printing the first anniversary issue, now a fortnight overdue. Not ready to admit he was licked. Sydney Harris last week broadcast a final appeal for help...
