Auditor General A. W. Powell seeks reelection via the Republican convention and is profiled as a fortysomething reformer who runs the department like a business. He overhauled auditing, tax collection, and wage records, cutting waste and extra work while prioritizing honesty, efficiency, and direct action over political maneuvering.
