Automation at the Ballot Box

Flint, Mich.

Here in the Welfare State that G. Mennen (Soapy) Williams built, a cozy election race is under way for the August primaries. Three Democrats are vying for nomination to the office held by their party leader for six two-year terms. A lone Republican, who is master-minded by a Democrat, is left in the race after withdrawal of the only conservative.
