Daley Backs Dems' Ticket

CHICAGO--Mayor Richard Daley said Monday he will support the Democratic ticket at all levels in the November election.

"I am a Democrat," the mayor said firmly at a news conference.

Daley was critical of the alternate slate of 59 delegates, which bumped him from the Democratic National Convention. He said, however, he would cooperate with the slate led by Alderman William Singer if Singer's group supported Democrats at the local level as well as at the national.

Daley said he had not been in touch with Sen. McGovern since McGovern was nominated for the presidency at the convention.
