Lar Daly

Lawrence Joseph Sarsfield Daly (January 22, 1912 - April 17, 1978), more commonly remembered as Lar "America First" Daly, was an American political activist and perennial candidate for varied political offices, both in Illinois and federally, including runs for the office of mayor in Chicago and the presidency of the United States of America.

Political Campaigns
Daly was not a firm adherent to any particular political party, as his active engagement in the primaries of both Republican and Democratic parties shows, both federally - including attempts to become party candidate for seats in the Congress and Senate, typically seeking to represent Illinois - and locally, as was the case when he attempted to become the Democratic Party candidate for mayor of Chicago (running against no less than Richard J. Daley).
