Michigan Governor G. Mennen "Soapy" Williams' inaugural address

Description:: In his inaugural address, newly elected Governor G. Mennen "Soapy" Williams calls for bipartisan cooperation to further the best interests of the people of Michigan. Williams lays out problems currently facing the state including, falling educational standards, inequality between the races, and the sorry condition of Michigan roads. These problems can he solved, he says, if the newly elected Michigan Legislature can set aside partisan politics and work with him to find solutions. Williams also says that it is the duty of the people to be the watchdog of their elected officials and that it is the duty of the media to keep the people informed.
