Daley Maintains Control In Chicago Mayoral Primary Victory
Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley, already a powerful figure, won a crushing Feb. 25 primary, securing 58 percent of votes and 47 of 50 wards. His win preserves his bid for a sixth term, while critics cite corruption probes and past riots as lasting stains on his image. Jackson, Kennelly and other figures weigh his machine’s enduring strength and the dynamics of Chicago politics.
