THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS

Fririoy, Nov. 3, 1172—I(

Whyfive
Democratic mayors
are going to vote for a
Republican Senator.

Five Democratic mayors have endorsed
Senator Bob Griffin for reelection. It would have
been much easier for them, politically speaking,
to endorse the Democratic candidate. But their
consciences wouldn't allow it. They know
Senator Griffin is the better man.
They know Senator Griffin led the fight in
Congress against school busing and he authored
a constitutional amendment to prevent it — an
amendment Kelley says he would vote against.
They know that Senator Griffin was
instrumental in getting the auto excise tax
repealed. (One reason he's referred to as
"Michigan's Muscle.")
They know that he co-authored the Landrum-
Griffin Act, the "bill of rights" for rank and file
union members.
