Mayoralty Faction War Draws Harrison Back to Race
Old-Time office holders and union money back Harrison for mayor as Democrats face a rally of chronic office seekers. The piece notes alleged promises of city jobs in exchange for support, counts scorn for Harrison, and cites recent events showing waning enthusiasm among voters and aldermen. It also mentions Dunne, other mayoral prospects, and the influence of the Iroquois fire and national politics on the race.

No Redistricting by City Council Keeps Ward Boundaries
Democrats head to court to limit County Board ten city seats to the old Chicago area, excluding Hyde Park and other annexed regions. Legal teams prepare to argue the 1870 state constitution defines ten city seats from Chicago as it stood then, while Republicans gain new district chairmanships.
