Detroit Elects a Liberal
Rothman, R. | October 15, 1930 issue

add to cart   close window

Frank Murphy, was elected as Mayor of Detroit on September 9, 1930. Murphy is liberal, humanitarian, champion of the rights of the masses. Significantly, he was chosen in a popular upheaval after the recall from office of Mayor Charles Bowles, and he was elected in the face of a vitriolic attack from the conservative press and the big-business elements of the city. The article also described the enlightened scientific methods employed by Murphy. For Murphy, the big issue of the time was the general economic distress and the attendant widespread unemployment in the city.
