the hiring of a grievance officer
"never turned out the way I
thought it would."
Harris also drew criticism for
his retention of two relative con-
servatives in powerful City Hall
posts - City Administrator Guy
Larcom and Police Chief Walter
Krasn.
Ile defends both decisions:
"Guy was a more liberal city
administrator than most people
realize. Most people don't know
what his role in the BAM strike
and a lot of police things was.
At the time of Kent State I
couldn't have held back a lot of
forces that were moving without
Guy. Even Walter was pretty
good. He talks a ferocious game

at times . . . I just don't think
people know what the inside
story of what Krasny's role has
been a lot of times."
But Harris' pragmatic rela-
tionship with conservatives in his
administration - Larcom in par-
ticular - was not without its
weak moments. Harris clashed
with Larcom when the City Ad-
ministrator wrote a report in the
fall of 1970 clearing a police pa-
trolman of charges that he had-
beaten or attempted to beat a
student, T. R. Harrison, during
the BAM strike.
"I thought he was covering
up," Harris remembers. "He on-
ly ran the film (or the incident)
at full speed. At full speed things
look like he described them (in
I the report). But at slow speed
they sure don't."
While the city's left damned
Harris for alleged police brutal-
ity, the right was attacking him
for not. being brutal enough.
Street riots on South Univer-
sity during Harris' first summer
as mayor enraged white middle-
class conservatives. On July.14,
1969, 400 of them marched on
City Hall to demand that police
come down hard on young peo-
ple who smoked pot, danced,
and fornicated in the streets.
By the fall, under the leader-
ship of ultra-conservative Jack
Garris and his Concerned Citi-
zens of Ann- Arbor, the anti-
Harris sentiment had snowballed
into a full fledged recall move-
ment. Its issues: shackling of
the police, rock concerts in the
parks, and Harris' refusal to sup-
port a GOP-sponsored anti-ob-
scenity, ordinance.
Harris remember this as the
worst period in his term as
mayor.

On City Council, the Republi-
can opposition was led by Joe
Edwards, conservative Third
Ward councilman, and James
Stephenson - then a councilman
from the Fourth Ward; now, the
city's new mayor.
"He (Stephenson) and Joe used
to compete as to who was the
most conservative. Certainly
there was no one to the right of
Stephenson on money matters
and he was more conservative
than Joe on rock concerts and
obscenity," Harris recalls.
Even within his own party,
Harris did not enjoy total sup-
port. Traditional black First
Ward Councilman H. C. Curry
defected from his party over
the issue of civil liberties versus
the community's morals,
Harris remembers Curry as,
"A 60-year-old building trade
member. A straight-laced sort
of Southern Baptist.
"He was just horrified that he
was associated with a bunch of
people who stood for nudity at
rock concerts and smoking pot.
His general feeling was sort of
'My, God! What are these
young Democrats doing?'.
"In the meantime, Stephenson
was very busy flattering Curry
outrageously, nominating him
as mayor pro-tem, trying to
woo him.,"
Although the recall campaign
failed, Harris and the liberal
Democrats took a beating at the
polls in the 1970 election.
The GOP ran a hard-hitting
campaign, stressing their charge
that the Harrisites had turned
the city over to a coalition of
hippies, street freaks and revo-
lutionaries.
A now-famous cartoon ad in
the Ann Arbor News got the mes-
sage across. It depicted a mob
of scruffy, hairy, bomb-toting
youths, with a hapless, hand-

cuffed policeman standing by.. It
was captioned: "The revolution-
ists have spread the word.
'Come to Ann Arbor, Michigan
this summer. It's an open city
under the permissive policies of
the Democrats.' Isn't that a
riot?"
The result was a total reversal
of the 1969 election. Four Re-
publicans and only one Demo-
crat were elected.. The Demo-
crats lost the Second, Third and
Fifth Wards, all of which they
had won the year before.
"They really did a job on us,"
Harris recalls. "The Republi-
cans were playing on the same
themes as the recall campaign
except in a little more sophis-
ticated manner. It was James
Stephenson and Brian Connely
instead of Jack Garris and they
really creamed us on building a
too-expensive bus system and
handcuffing the police.
By the next year and the end
of Harris' first term, though, the
mood in the city was changing
once again.
Stephenson, who had clearly
emerged as the city's leading Re-
publican voice, was the concen-
sus choice of the party leader-
ship as the man to challenge
Harris' re-election.
But, the untimely death of his
wife, removed Stephenson from
the race and a weakling party
establishment entry, Louis Bel-
cher, lost the GOP primary to
Concerned Citizen leader Jack
Garris.
Garris was the classic wrong
candidate at the wrong time.
His blustery moralism and
threats of impending doom at
the hands of hairy revolutionar-
ies had gone out of style. The
moderate wing of the GOP pub-
licly deserted him and the rest
of the party just didn't vote.
Harris won in a landslide..
