Hungry Six back Thompson for mayor and Cermak for sheriff
The Hungry Six or United Societies endorse Thompson for mayor and Tony Cermak for sheriff while predicting polls favoring their slate. They note Cermak’s “Wad” support helped Thompson win by about 4 000 over Sweitzer and anticipate Gibbons challenging in the Democratic sheriff nomination. Gibbons, born 1879 in Chicago, is a longtime Democrat and grain insider with ties to the Board of Trade and state grain inspection. He and Dailey appear on the ballot for primary day September 11 with Dailey listed for two offices.
