Gov Geuerai/s Mansion in Manila, Pi
Not yet forty at the time of hi* appointment, Mayor Frank Murphy of
Detroit, who ha* beentnamed by Preiident Roosevelt a* Governor General
of the Philippine* is an ideal example of the bromide “youth will be j
•erved.” A native of Harbor Beach, Mich., Murphy wa* graduated from
the University of Michigan Law School in 1914, after which he studied i
in Lincoln’* Inn, London, and at Trinity College, Dublin. With the
entrance of the United States into the World War, he attended the first !
officers’ training camp and was commissioned a first lieutenant. He
served overseas, was promoted to captain and remained in Germany dur
ing 1919 with the army of Occupation. In 1920, Murphy returned home
to civilian life and made his political debut as Chief Assistant United
States Attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan. In 1923, at the
age of thirty, he became Judge of the Recorder’s Court of Detroit. In
this capacity he became widely known for his liberal tendencies on the
bench. His popularity grew by leaps and bounds, and in 1930 he was
elected Mayor of Detroit. During his administration as Chief Magistrate
' of the automobile city, Mayor Murphy attracted nation-wide attention
by his championship of the unemployed, and the relief programs he
inaugurated for their benefit. In the recent Presidential campaign, while
Michigan’s Democratic leaders were still sticking to the bandwagon of i
Alfred F. Smith, Murphy came out for Roosevelt and played a prominent
part in the latter’* victory in the State.
