Chicago faces the first test of Illinois direct primary law with four party ballots including Democratic Republican Prohibitionist and Socialist.

Nomination Walkouts Narrow in Prohibition Socialist Bids
The Prohibition and Socialist parties will not nominate U S Senators in the upcoming elections while fielding candidates for all other positions on state and local tickets. In Chicago the field is crowded with many candidates, making a straight party vote unlikely. Ballots require marking before every candidate proved a lengthy tally process delaying results past the weekend.
