Stevenson Concedes Illinois Governor Race After Court Refusal
Adlai E. Stevenson conceded the Illinois governor race to incumbent James R. Thompson after the Illinois Supreme Court refused to order a recount. Thompson praised the court ruling and said the election of 82 ends, with vows to begin a third straight term. Stevenson cited irregularities and said no contest would follow. Grace Mary Stern was his running mate, and the margin was about 5,074 votes.
