I really like ALT2. Seems a direct and fascinating fact. Maybe phrase it as "A Republican was last elected as mayor of Chicago in 1927" if we were to use it.
Another fact we might consider for contention is "that Chicago Mayor William E. Dever had been floated as a potential presidential candidate before losing reelection in 1927".
The "Dill Pickle" one at "ALT6" might be the start of a good April Fools Day DYK. Something like, "That a Dill Pickle received 51,347 votes for mayor of Chicago in 1927" SecretName101 (talk) 10:26, 25 February 2019 (UTC)
I like the one with Dever and the Presidency, maybe something like "...that Chicago mayor William Dever was floated as a candidate for President, only to lose re-election in 1927?", although I might need a new hook photo for that. ALT6 might be good for April Fools. -John M Wolfson (talk) 14:21, 25 February 2019 (UTC)
A more compact form of ALT6 could be:
If it's accepted as an April Fools Day DYK, you can also put the name in lower case (ditto for ALT4).Mindmatrix 20:31, 16 March 2019 (UTC)
Maybe April 2nd would be a better date for the hook appearance, given that the current mayoral runoff will be held on that date? -John M Wolfson (talk) 23:44, 16 March 2019 (UTC)
William Emmett Dever
Also officially proposing ALT8:... that Chicago mayor William Emmett Dever (pictured) was widely floated as a presidential candidate, only to lose reelection in 1927? -John M Wolfson (talk) 23:46, 16 March 2019 (UTC)
