Adlai E. Stevenson III will run as a third-party candidate for governor of Illinois instead of waiting for a court decision on his attempt to run as an independent candidate, a campaign spokesman said in Springfield. Stevenson will continue to appeal a court decision that is preventing him from mounting an independent candidacy, but at the same time he will begin preparing for a third-party effort, spokesman Bob Benjamin said.
