Workers. Mr.. Edwards is for
mer UAW organizer.
Detroit's municipal government
is non-partisan and so is the Cleo
tion.
However, this did not prevent
a marked tinge of party politics
in the Cobo-Edwards fight
Edwards Backs Liberal Trend"
Mr.. Edwards. at 35 the City
Councils president for four years,
said his side represented the
liberal trend" of Franklin D.
Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman.
He called Mr.. Cobo. who is q
political independent. "the city's
Republican tax collector" and said
his rival was sponsored by re
dictionary forces"
At the same time Mr.. Cobo ac-
cused Mr.. Edwards of disregarding
municipal election ethics by in
jecting party politics into the
campaign.
Mr.. Cobo. descended from the
French, was born in Detroit and
made success in business before
entering politics. He first became
city treasurer in 1885 by appoint
ment and was retained by the
voters in each succeeding election.
Local Issues Predominate.
He waged his campaign on a
promise to give Detroit a "busi-
nesslike government" Local is
sues predominated in the CAM
paign.
It was difficult to gauge labor's
influence. While the CIO was
out for Mr.. Edwards, the AFL was
behind Mr.. Cobo officially.
The voters rejected a proposal
to double their nine city council
mems pay-from $4,000 a year to
$4,000. With 875 precincts in,
the vote was 134,426 to 43,103
against the idea.
On the other hand an official
canvass might be necessary to
determine whether Mayor ELECT
Cobo stays in Office for four years
instead of two. He takes Office

A proposal to extend the term
had hairs breadth majority in
