Republican primary

The Republican primary was won by Emil C. Wetten. Wetten was an attorney that had served in such roles as the city's First Assistant Corporation Counsel.[2]

Mortimer B. Flynn had been president of the Pottinger-Flynn Coal Company.[3][4]

Unsuccessful candidate Grace A. Gray was the first woman ever to file as a candidate for mayor of Chicago.[5]

The primary illustrated a collapse in Chicagoans' support for the Republican Party. In the previous election, more than five times as many voters had participated in the Republican primary.[6]

Independent candidates

Newton Jenkins ran as an independent candidate. Jenkins promoted himself as a "progressive" candidate.[8][9]

Jenkins had run for office before. During the 1930 Illinois U.S. Senate race he had been one of several candidates challenging incumbent Charles S. Deneen for the Republican Party nomination. Ultimately, Ruth Hanna McCormick had received the Republican nomination.[10]

Jenkins was very openly antisemetic.[13][11]

Jenkins' run was supported by the Third Party, an effort to create a new party. The party claimed itself to be spun-off from the progressive Republican movement.[12] The party, which intended to use "U.S., Unite" as its national slogan and utilize the buffalo as its mascot, sought to use Jenkins' candidacy as a national launchpad for the party.[12][13] This effort ultimately evolved into the short-lived Union Party.[11][13]

General election

Wetten framed his campaign against Kelly as a campaign against machine politics[14]
