Biles claims that Daley held back the 1960 vote to deliver for JFK. Len O'Connor, in his better _Clout_, tell us that Daley delivered the vote early to demoralize West Coast Republicans at the risk of being out-defrauded in IL by Du Page County.

Unfortunately, better Daley biographies such as _Clout, and Royko's _Boss_ are out-of-print.
