Younger candidate seeks Fifth Ward GOP chair
Stanley K. Stewart, 25, seeks to replace 72 year old John Leonard East as Fifth Ward Republican committeeman. East known as Bunny has held the post since 1928 and led Cook County central committee 1946-52. Stewart backed by Ogilvie and Jayne Price aims to strengthen the party for governor bid. East says he would step down to a younger man if suitable and has funded local GOP efforts largely from his own pocket.
