Democrats seek Metcalfe replacement amid discord in Chicago
Democratic ward committeemen from Illinois 1st District planned to choose a Nov 7 ballot replacement for the late Rep Ralph Metcalfe but black publishers say they lack moral right to decide. They warn that omitting Metcalfe could boost independent candidates and jeopardize party control. The eight committeemen meet as aides label Bennett Stewart as Metcalfe’s possible successor, while Rev Jesse L Jackson signals potential backlash if Stewart is chosen. Metcalfe died after a long illness, 68, leaving a large funeral in Chicago with tributes to his Olympic and civil rights work.
