In 1948, did Chicago have a mayor like Johnson. If not, I’d hate to see it if this mayor was elected in 1948!!

Grok:

Martin H. Kennelly served as the mayor of Chicago in 1948. He was a Democrat who took office on April 15, 1947, and held the position until April 20, 1955, making him the 47th mayor of the city.c39ed5ea5574f30b52
Regarding his record on crime, Kennelly’s early tenure showed promise, but it was ultimately mixed and hampered by political realities. In his first year (which included 1948), he launched aggressive efforts against organized crime, notably shutting down long-protected gambling operations that had been a key revenue source for the underworld since the Capone era.
