1. G. Mennen "Soapy" Williams gives a campaign speech denouncing his Republican opponent, former Michigan Governor Harry Kelly, for running a dirty campaign

Description:
Incumbent Michigan Governor G. Mennen "Soapy" Williams gives a campaign speech denouncing his Republican opponent, former Michigan Governor Harry Kelly, for running a dirty campaign. Williams argues that informed voters are crucial to a democracy and claims that Kelly has refused to articulate any platform and has spent his time calling Williams a communist and a socialist. Williams outlines his own positions, including decent treatment of elderly citizens, labor laws which are fair to employers and employees, an immediate road building program, and above all a "government which sees and meets the needs of all its people." He challenges Kelly to articulate what he stands for. Williams is introduced by Robert Scott, the Secretary/Treasurer for the Michigan Federation of Labor AFL, who also announces the AFL endorsement for Williams.
