Acknowledgments
Without the Assistance of numerous individuals and institutions, this book would not have been possible. In Chicago I would like to thank the librarians of the Municipal Reference Library and Archie Motley of the Chicago Historical Society. All those who granted interviews provided insights and a flavor that otherwise would have been lacking. I would especially like to thank Harold Rainville, Elroy Sandquist, Daniel Gallagher, and Benjamin Adamowski, who all patiently explained Chicago politics and provided access to papers and documents of critical importance.
In Florida I would like to thank the University of Central Florida Foundation for its financial assistance. Laurie Linsley and Wava Tibbits of the UCF Library were most conscientious and efficient in obtaining vast quantities of microfilm. William Brown afforded important aid with the analysis of election statistics. Shirley Shofner spent many hours typing and provided moral support, and Jerrell Shofner offered invaluable advice, encouragement, and friendship. Finally, I would like to thank my wife, Carol, and my son, Kenneth, for their love and support.
