Campaign for Illinois House seats narrows in two districts
Voters in the 22nd and 24th districts head toward a final two weeks of campaigning for General Assembly seats and statewide offices. William O. Stewart is chosen to replace the late Genoa Washington in the 22nd district, while Mrs. Catania vies for one seat alongside Stewart. Incumbents Corneal Davis and James McLendon are favored in the 22nd Democratic slate, and in the 24th Democrats Robert Mann and Lewis Caldwell appear set to win reelection with Republicans Bernard Epton and Albert Daugherty challenging. Senate races favor incumbents Richard Newhouse in the 24th and Fred Smith in the 22nd. Senator Smith denies bribery claims connected to a recent election.
