5, 154; Keehn 1888.
Mailman. who is a lawyer,
declared that the ruling al
lowing the Republicans TO
enter the contest was illegal
since the partisan alder
manic election law specifies
that the alderman must be
elected by a clear majority
and a run-off is held between
only the two highest candi-
dates.
On this basis, Mailman is
for a new election in
the ward between himself and
Brody.
Mailman was the runner-up
in the February 25 election
with 1913 votes, made a spec
tacular last minute campaign

The final result of the wild,
tangled aldermanic election in
The Chicago star. (Chicago, Ill.) 1946-1948, 1947-04-05


The strong non-party voting
was seen most clearly in the fact
that while Democrat Martin H.
Kennedy and his two running
mates won by a landslide, he was
unable to save II of the Demo-
cratic-supported aldermen, al
most all of them oldtime party
hacks
The voters also singled out
Russell w. Root as the most re-
dictionary figure on the COP
ticket and the hand picked
stooge of Gov. Green and Col.
Robert r. Mccormick. Instead
of leading his own ticket as
Kennedy did, Root trailed bad
lY behind the Republican can
didates for city clerk and trea-
surer.
FINAL election figures helped
to blast the national myth of a
Republican trend" as such. In
fact, the Chicago city election
was considered a major setback
for the COPS 1913 campaign.
Helping to crush the Republi-
cans was the disclosure of Grim
inal negligence on the part of the
Green administration in the Cen
tralia mine disaster last week.
All of the five progressive alder
manic candidates endorsed last
week by the Chicago Star were
elected. They were Harvey (2nd)
Pacini Q0th0 Rostenkowski (32nd)
Brody Goth; Becker (40th).
IN THE 39th, Max Mailman
progressive independent, piled up
more than 5000 votes in a "a
hour campaign in which Mailman
was suddenly placed on the bal
lot after the death of the COP
endorsed candidate.
KennellY's smashing plurality
of 273.354 was attained with
