The article outlines political intrigue around Fifth Ward Alderman Leon Despres as a potential Democratic nominee to challenge Korshak backed moves to replace O'Hara with Mikva. Daley tempered plans, factions formed, and O'Hara's candidacy remained uncertain amid petints and press speculation.
Abner Mikva announces his primary bid for Congress in Illinois second district will hinge on opposition. He notes three possible challengers: an independent peace-group slate in the north end, incumbent Bar Rat O’Hara’s reconsideration, or a less liberal challenger from the Fifth Ward south end. He plans to campaign across the district if unopposed and will draft a stance on major issues after a short retreat. He credits supporters and party figures who helped secure the party nomination.
Two candidates headline the race for the 24th District state representative seat. Bernard Epton the brother of Circuit Court Judge Saul Epton is backed by Noble Lee supporters and city officials including Alderman Nicholas Bohling. William Scannell a South Shore resident and GOP state central committeeman is backed by Russell Root Jayne Price and former Cook County public administrator Thomas Downs.
