Robert H. Clancy

He graduated from the literary department of the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor in 1907 and he later studied law there for one year.

He worked as a reporter on Detroit newspapers for four years before serving as secretary to Congressman Frank E. Doremus from 1911 to 1913.

During Prohibition he was arrested along with the mayor of Detroit and the Wayne County sheriff at the Deutsches Hall while consuming alcohol.

In 1932, Clancy was a candidate in the Fourteenth Congressional District in Michigan, due to redistricting after the 1930 Census.

Clancy lost to Democrat Carl M. Weideman, after which he was engaged in an executive capacity with a manufacturing company until his retirement in 1948.
