The Democratic primary winner Daniel Walker threatens Mayor Daley by potentially forming a rival power base with patronage control. Daley fears Walker who owes him nothing and could build a lasting organization that challenges the regular Democratic machine. Governor Ogilvie is viewed as a smaller threat by comparison.
The piece argues Daley favors a Walker victory to keep Democratic control of Illinois state offices and leverage in a national pattern. It notes Daley’s concern that a Republican Justice Department under Nixon could probe Illinois Democrats, harming his organization. The article ties state races to federal investigations and party strength.
The piece outlines a wave of investigations during Nixon's presidency touching Illinois politics, including probes into Otto Kerner's network, Paul Powell's shoebox funds, and Cook County voting machine deals. It questions which foe is worse for Daley, Walker or Republican probes, and whether he should back Ogilvie to endure Republican justice.
