...Democrats, who received less than fervent cooperation from Big Labor in the 1966 elections, owed last week's big-city victories in some degree to the union vote. Whatever the reasons-unprecedented wage levels, blue-collar support for the war, or resentment of Republican cutbacks in spending for the cities-labor voted with a cohesion unsurpassed since the Kennedy-Nixon, election of 1960. Key fronts...
Among its opponents: Attorney-Businessman Joseph Alioto, 51, a self-made millionaire, who handily won the city's mayoral race with 109,982 votes over Attorney-Restaurant Owner Harold Dobbs (94,089). A moderate Democrat and political newcomer who had the support of both Big Labor and retiring Mayor Jack Shelley, Alioto promised that his first action would be to reduce the tax burden on homeowners...
...rolled around. By chance, he had been in Tel Aviv during the six-day Arab-Israeli war last June; later he appeared in Rome when Philadelphia's Archbishop John Joseph Krol was installed as cardinal, thereby gaining overnight a statesmanlike image. At home, Big Jim threw his wholehearted support behind Police Commissioner Frank Rizzo's tough antiriot policies, thus winning the support of Philadelphia's working-class Italian population.

Williams, a strident dissident who bolted the Democratic Party in 1964 to support Barry Goldwater and thereby lost his seniority in the House of Representatives, cashed in on Phillips' plea to voters to give up the fight against desegregation in order to elevate Mississippi economically. Phillips' radical suggestion tarred other Republicans: only one of 60 G.O.P. candidates was victorious, and the Republicans...
...tallied last week, McKeithen, who once belabored an opponent for courting Negro votes, had buried segregationist Congressman John R. Rarick beneath an avalanche of 836,304 votes; Rarick got only 179,846. McKeithen, an able administrator who is unopposed in a general election next Feb. 6, received widespread Negro support, and more than 250 Negroes sought office in the primary. Most fared poorly, but New Orleans Lawyer Ernest N. Morial won outright to become Louisiana's first Negro state legislator since Reconstruction, and two others won places on a Dec. 16 runoff ballot against white candidates...
