Abstract

Michigan's Scapegoat Governor
Widick, B. J. | November 21, 1959 issue

add to cart   close window

Michigan's problems include a cash crisis, a tax crisis and most important, a political crisis involving, among other things, the future of the state's educational system and the personal political fortunes of Governor G. Mennen Williams, once considered a serious contender for the 1960 Democratic Presidential nomination. Political analysts look upon Williams as a lame duck who is bowing out of state politics after 1960. The irony of the savage attack on Governor Williams is that this year no one except some Grand Old Party pundits was taking him seriously as a 1960 candidate.
