HOWARD A. COFFIN
Republican Candidate for Congress
Detroit News Editorial
Feb. 21, 1944
Coffin for Congress
A citizen who has been successful in busi-
ness, and also sufficiently public-spirited to
give generously of his time and talents to
public causes in the interests of his fellowmen,
obviously is the kind of person who deserves
applause__and careful consideration when he
announces himself as a candidate for public
office. Such a man is Howard A. Coffin, who
seeks the Republican nomination for Congress
in the 13th District.
Mr. Coffin for years has been identified with
Community Fund work, with. the YMCA,
USO, War Chest, Grace Hospital and now
with Selective Service as a member of an
appeal board. Qne who thus unselfishly serves
his community is- of :the' _material o _hich
highlfdesirible-OffiCehaders are made.
Detroit Free Press Editorial
May 19, 1944
Coffin's Candidacy
TT
IS easy to sit on the front porch and
1 deplore the lack of good men in Congress
without doing anything about it. But Con-
gress will never improve until the people
make up their minds to send better men to
represent them.
Therefore, all good tetroiters, whether
they agree with his politics or not, should
applaud the decision of Howard A. Coffin
to run for the office of Representative from
the Thirteenth Congressional District, of
which he has been a resident for 33 years.
Mr. Coffin for a generation has been one
of the broad-visioned civic leaders of Detroit.
No worthy public service has ever found him
in the rear ranks. Having retired from his
multiple business activities he now offers
bimself to the service of his community.
If other big and capable business and civic
leaders would follow his example,• most of
the problems of our national government
Avould be on their way to solution.
