Five miles long, it curves gracefully across the waters of the Great Lakes. Traffic moves swiftly and smoothly across its great length twelve months of the year. With a price tag of $100 million it is the product of man's imagination and a monument to man's persis- tance. The first proposals to bridge the Straits are found in Indian legends. Ever since the task of con- quering the travel barrier has colored man's thoughts. The concept of conneCting the two peninsulas traces thread-like down.through the pasn eighty years of Michigan's history. This is the story of the political loops and turns, knots and tangles in that thread. It is the story of the role and effect of the bridge in the politicalcampaigns of the twentieth century, which is pinpointed through analysis of election statistics. It is the story of Horatio Earle, Prentiss harsh Brown, Lmrray Van Wagoner, w.s. woodfill, and G, Lbnnen Williams, Although the bridge did not change the direction of Michigan political hiStory, it probably swayed its course simply because it was seized upon as an issue by candidates of every ilk and stripe.

  • The Campaigner
    THE CAMPAIGNER The Battle Begins When Al Smith had struck his final pose for the newspaper photographers, when his joyous supporters had tired of celebrating his nomination, and when the last delegate had left Houston for home, Smith and the party of which he was now the standard-bearer had to get down to the business of organizing a campaign and devising a strategy that would produce an upset victory in November. The task of getting organized carried special urgency for Smith: although he and his political associates had already begun to give some thought to the campaign even before the national convention, they were hardly well-prepared for the formidable task that lay ahead. Smith could not count upon a strong party organization for much help to ease his transition from governor to presidential nominee. The national Democratic Party in June 1928 consisted of little more than a name, a small treasury, and a national committee (two persons from each state and territory) that was largely ceremonial in nature. There was no permanent staff, no planning apparatus, no press office, not even a physical headquarters – and yet the election was only months away. Smith would have to move swiftly to deal with these handicaps. The logistical problems involved in establishing a headquarters, assembling a staff, preparing campaign publicity, and commencing a national campaign paled in significance, however, in comparison with the challenge of mapping out a strategy that would enable the Democrats to carry the country against Herbert Hoover and the Republicans by convincing potential voters that Smith would make the more capable president.
