The moment has arrived. Gathered for the last time in the Great Hall of Deliberation, the Ferrick Commission is about to fulfill its solemn duty as Official Handicapper to the Race for Mayor. Loyal Democrats, many black, support Street. White Democrats could go for Katz.
Scores are undecided.
The longest and most grueling mayoral campaign in Philadelphia's modern history flashes to the finish Tuesday with both John F. Street and Sam Katz having a good shot to win. John White Jr. Clinton joins the campaign in Phila. In an uncommon display of presidential political clout in a local election, President Clinton came to Philadelphia yesterday to pump up the Democratic faithful and boost the mayoral campaign of John F. Street. But he is getting some attention now. He just might hold the edge between victory and defeat.
