I \ " j Candidates Appeal Support In Mayor, Chicago (ANP)?ToIitics-ChiWi-go-i?tvU??U~.tratlii.xi n^g "momentum as the date for primary elections for mayor and alderman nears. . In th'e midst of this activity are the thousands of Negroes ? the largest racial minority in Chicago" who led hy veteran politician Wil" liam \j, Dawson, beginning his sev enth term as U.S. representative, could well swing .the elections to ; one of the four-cajuliUates for ma- / yor. Rep. Dawson supposedly has most of the colored electorate be' * 1 nnn/li/|Qfna liAUt. nirm nun aim ma ever, a sizeable number- of Negroes are allying themselvae behind Arthur Knight, Wicb president of the Unity Mutual Life Insurance _Gq. While t^e various candidates for mayor are jockeying1 for support, another battle is being waged l>y aspirant for aldermanic posts. Nevertheless, the campaigns for mayor and alderman cannot be completely separated, for in many wards supporters of , a particular aldermanic candidate j also will support the choiee of the i mayor candidate for alderman. Feb. 22?election wate-will deL cide the issues. " Meanwhile, the four mayoralty candidates ? incumbent' Martin Kennelly, Richard Daley, Robert -E- Merrmni and Benjamin S. Adamowski?are busy lining up support from the various aldermen and political factions. ,, * In this article an attempt will be made to show the poslttOTTbf , the Negro in the race for mayor. They generally are regarded as opposed to the present city admin ist ration headed by democratic Mayor Kennelly. Rep." l)ar son' has been against | ..jhitti ever since Kennelly took his seat in the City Hall. Kennelly went into office labeled as something of a reformer, ohe Who was determined to clean up what some j ?? peonle railed?the?racket?infested politics of the South Side. Dawson's influence is credited with having a great deal to do with influencing the Democratic City Committee to throw Kennelly's overboard as its candidate. The democrats have named Daley to run in Kennelly's place.^ . The latter has accepted the chal- i lenge and is running independent^! ly against, the retrular committee 1 candidate.. Kenelly has the support of the influential state street merchant element which represents b i g j business. He also has the support j of all the daily newspapers of j tne city. The Negroes who oppose Kenhis third term, because of what they consider his poor handling of the Trumbull Park situation. , Trumbull Park, you will recall, is a housing project built with fed- j cral funds which has been the site of racial disturbances since } - the first colored family moved inJ more than a year ago. However, all Neproes arc not j opposed to the incumbent. Moreover, they contend that the may- ! or has a pood record as far as ; colored persons are concerned. This'proup, led by Kriipht, points i to integration in the police force, in residential ureas and in the , school system. The Kennedy ad- j herents maintain this integration never happened before Kennelly. They also have pointed out that , the dumpinp of him by the demo- i ? cratic organization amounts t o machine politics. They consider Daley a "machine man," \ A candidate who?has?a?large? \ following among the "reform", \element is Merriam, alderman of s \e fifth ward. Elected alderman r, \ a democrat, Merriam current-1 ^ * ly isr running as republican. In j V an interview with the Associated,;. 1 Negro Press, Merriam issued his only statement on Negroes.? De-i nouncing racism, he said: 1 "Influx of Negroes to Chicago is a good thing. When they stop ; comwgHt will be a sign that our industries have stopped growing." In relation to the housing situation, he pointed out that the City Council is on record as agiainst discrimination in housing find that as a member of the council he too is against discrimination in housing. He added that before Negroes are admitted to other all-white housing projects, the situation at Trumbull Park should he cleared up. He criticized official handling of the racial disturbances at Trum Merriam, however, does not appear to have much support among Negroes who seem to feel that h> is not well enough known To Negroes For * Alderman Race 0 11 among* them.-' " * n From this, it would seem that v the mayoralty campaign will be g between Kennelly and Daley as s far as Negroes arc concerned. Thai edge here seems to be with p Daley who has the support of the t powerful Dawson. s : h UNIONVILLE A. M. E. t CHURCH . -Rev. W. M.
