Tribune makes endorsements for Supreme, Appellate Court races

The Chicago Tribune today made endorsements in each of the three contested races for the First District of the Illinois Appellate Court.

Associate Judge Mathias William Delort received the paper's nod for the Cahill vacancy, while Appellate Court Justice P. Scott Neville, Jr. was endorsed for the Gallagher vacancy. Associate Judge William Stewart Boyd was the Tribune's choice for the O'Brien vacancy.

On Sunday, the Tribune endorsed Supreme Court Justice Mary Jane Theis in her bid to keep the seat to which she was appointed when Justice Thomas Fitzgerald left the court.
