The Chicago Eagle lived up to the slogan printed under its masthead: "Independent in all things, neutral in none."[2] Its publisher's concerns and interests lay more in the day-to-day lives of his readers than cultivating political friendships: "Donovan campaigned relentlessly against graft and corruption in local and state government, with a particular emphasis on working conditions in the department stores; the meat-packing industry; the emerging telecommunications monopoly; election fraud; bribery of public officials; and public safety issues."[3]
It is not known when the Chicago Eagle ceased publication, but the latest known issue is dated November 1946.
