LIGHT
An Inside Picture of
Financial and Polit-
ical America

WASHIN GTON Tom
Dewey's friends, with his ap-
parent permission, have
ganged up to make him the
Republican presidential NOM
inee in 1910. They are plan
ming to form a national or
ganization to capitalize the
sentiment expressed for him
among young Republicans and
the tenders of support he has
received from numerous quar-
tiers since his sensational run
against Herbert Lehman for
the New York governorship.
The New York district attorney s
political mail and visitors since
November 8 convince his we'll
wishers that. despite his defeat,
he is the outstanding COP prospect.
He thinks so. too, although he VIII
not permit his name to be mem
toned at the convention unless ne
sees distinct chance of winning.
He will not seek delegates IN the
next two years. preferring 10 fol-
low Herbert Hoover's 1928 stra-
tegy.
The latter got state delcga-
tions because he and his
friends convinced them that
people back home wanted
him - and nobody else, not
even Calvin Coolidge.
Dewey frequently succumbs 10
the temptation to outsmart him
self. but his shrewd advisers-and
he has many such-haye mapped a
course for him. He will keep HIM
self in the headline limelight by
indictments even more tional
than the charges against Jimmie
Hines. He will curb-Or try to
the fits OF temper that wound even
his friends. He will make five or
six speeches a year in strategic
cities before the right people-not
politicos. He win be, in short, the
perfect politician.
Once a Franklin ID. R0Ose-
Welt hero wOrshipper, Senator
Hiram johnson has returned
10 Washington with fire In his
ewes. His fierce opposition to
the administrations foreign
and domestic policies bodes no
good for the man in the White
House. Despite his age. john
son is a power in the senate.
The senator does not IKE tnese

and concern ourselves about do

suspects that the famous law wnieh
