Daley Wins Big as GOP Nominee Concedes
Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley captured a sweeping primary victory, defeating Willian Singer and two minor rivals as Republican John J. O Hoellen withdrew from the general election. Daley led with 432,224 votes to 217,764 for Singer, with Hanrahan and Newhouse far behind. In Kansas City, Sarah Snow edged Joseph Shaughnessy Jr. for the right to challenge Mayor Charles Wheeler Jr., while a $30 million flood control bond appeared to fail by a narrow margin.
