October 4, 1977: Republican Mayor Ralph J. Perk's six-year reign at Cleveland City Hall came to an end as he finished third in a primary election, leaving Municipal Court Clerk Dennis J. Kucinich and State Rep. Edward F. Feighan, both Democrats, to face each other in a runoff. Kucinich was elected the next month. (P.D.)
