A BRIEF BIOGRAPHY
OF THOMAS E. DEWEY

The career of Thomas f. Dewey
leading Republican candidate for
Presidential nomination, is proof
of Americas unlimited opportuni-
ties for those who have the wish to
succeed. One of millions of small
town lads who chafe at their sup
posedly limited field of endeavor,
Tom Dewey, with vision coupled
with ambition, has hurdled obsta-
cles which would have dismayed
and halted less fearless spirits and
stands today the leading candidate
of his party for the highest of
flee in the land.
Thomas E. Dewey's story OF
success is a story of a midwest
farm boy who chung to his ideals
and started a wave of public de-
cency which has swept the coun-
try and toppled hitherto untouch-
able "big shots from their
thrones. Thomas E. Dewey has
shown the country that the pub
lie did not have to put up with
crooked hidden government. His
chief aim is to restore jobs to the
unemployed, by correcting the evils

Lal and labor.

often into several towns in every
county of Nebraska, and into all
adjoining states. During this more
than a quarter century he has built
up a close personal acquaintance
with all parts of Nebraska, and
gained more than average under
standing of local conditions
throughout its length and breadth.
His calling has further brought him
a broad knowledge of a great
number of business activities. Mr..
Larson has always been recognized
as a confirmed booster for Ne
braska. Though he has travelled in
practically every state in the union,
his loyalty has remained to his
native state, and he has always
returned with redoubled faith in
Nebraska's productivity. He has
been active among his Realtor as
sociates, serving as state presi-
dent of the association in 1924 and
was reelected in 1926.
As a young man Mr.. Larson
started as a farmer in Hamilton
county, later becoming the young
est territory salesman for the
John Deere Company. Happy in
the opportunity to work under
George N. Peek, then manager of
the Omaha branch, Mr.. Larson
travelled the state from 1908 to
1910.
AS founder, owner and manager
of the Nebraska Realty Auction
company of Central City, Mr.. Lar
sno is known over all Nebraska,
and in nearby states. Through fat
and lean years his ability and
energy has constantly expanded

ties. Associated with him as auc-

running the administrative and
business end of his office. The
thirty-three per cent budget saw
ing he had effected had not i'm
paired the work of the office. In
stead, new records for eonvic-
tions, speed and efficiency were
established at the end of the first
six-months period.
Hines went to trial a few
months after he was indicted.
There was a mistrial. Dewey took
the blow in his stride and began
all over again.
Within two weeks the Republi-
can party drafted Dewey as its
candidate for Governor. Again
Dewey campaigned ably and tire
lessly, staying close to state is
sues, showing the errors in adj
ministration, the way the Demo-
cratic machine hampered the
work of the state.
Dewey lost the election by on
ly 6I,494 votes out of 4,S21,6 31
cast. But in defeat he was victor,
for his amazing showing convin-
ced Republicans that here was a
leader and a vote-getter.
In addition, national polls of
public opinion showed him lead
ing all other Republicans as the
choice of the people for the
party's Presidential nomination.
And now he was ready for the
retrial of Tammany Leader
Hines. The case began in January
1899. Hines was convicted this
time and subsequently his con-
viction was upheld on appeal.
What of the mantle home
man, the family man?
Not one breath of the sordid
aspects of his work has stirred
the quiet graciousness of the
home which Mrs. Dewey had
created and runs so capably for
her husband and their two small
sons. Here, indeed is a haven of
peace where Dewey, the fearless
public servant can be Dewey, the
man, the husband and father, and
where he gains new strength and
courage to continue his battle as
a servant of the people for hui
mar rights, freedom and justice,
against all the forces of evil and
corruption.

fourth Street, has filed for public
defender on the republican ticket.
Meissner was born on a farm
near Blair, Nebraska and lived
there for a number of years. At
ter his graduation from the Blair
High school, he was engaged in
the dairying business for two
years. He then came to Omaha and
enrolled in Creighton University's
College of Law. In 1928 he passed

Dear Mr.. Adams:

There has just come to my desk
several copies of the Omaha Guide
in which newspaper | was quite
interested for many reasons, not
particularly concerned with this
letter.
On the front page, however, l
found your advertisement seeking
reelection. You may remember
that | listened to your argument
in the Supreme Court in a case,
which due to the fact that your
clients had come to you long af-
ter the milk was spilled, / felt was
a hopeless case. I was impressed
with the fact that you presented
your case as we'll as, or better than
most of the lawyers whom / had
heard presenting s before the
Supreme Court. In riding nome
that night from lincoln, l COM
mented upon this fact to my wife,
who, as President of the Nebras-
ka League of Women Voters, in
supporting sors legislation before
the Legislature, had become ac-
quainted with you. She informed
me that she felt that you were
one of the most intelligent MEM
bers of the Uni-C ameral, and one
who was making an honest effort
to do what was right for the State
of Nebraska.
She felt, and | concur absolutely
in her belief, that you were an alb
solute credit to your race, and
that the voters of your district
should keep you in the Legislature
as long as you desired to remain
there. Both she and myself feel
that if racial problems are to be
presented whenever possible and
adjusted amicably whenever they
arise, it will come only because
voters of both races place enough
confidence in men of your type
to place them in public office,
where they can assist in working
out these problems.
For those reasons, I sincerely
hope that the voters if your dis
trict will re-elect you. If they
knew your ability, your honesty
and your fairness, l feel you
should have no opposition what
ever.
| am not and do not expect ever
to be a candidate for public office.
| have no interest in any election
and no axes to grin, except the
one axe that if this republic is
going to last, it will be only be-
cause the voters will forget tenn
porary expediency and will elect
to office men who are honest, able
and fair.
Very truly yours,
Harold A. Prince.

? Republican National Committee
woman to represent Nebraska.
Her decision to seek election, Mr.:
Donald said, is the result of widely
expressed sentiment among party
workers that representation from
the w~est-central section of the
state at this time would strengthen
Republican Party Organization.
Previous National Committee
women have been Lincoln and 0m-
aha residents. Mrs. M. d. Gamer
on of Omaha served two terms
Lincoln has been represented by
Mrs. Curry Watson. Many leaders
in both cities have indicated they
feel that at this time a western
representative can more easily
weave into the party policy the
true needs of Nebraska, an agrie-
ultural state.
In announcing her candidacy.
Mrs. Donald pointed out her prev
ious Republican activities, and pro-
missed that if elected she would
strive to serve in a manner of mer-
it to the entire state.
Mrs. Donald, long active in civic
and political affairs, is at present
vice-chairman of the Republican
organization in her Congressional
district. She has previously been
chairman of her precinct in Grand
Island, member of the Hall County
Republican Finance Committee and
at one time state head of the Young
Republican Women. She has been
active for some time on the state
board of the League of Women
Voters.
Her civic activities include men,

Kearney. She was educated at

Chevy Chase School in Washing
ton. She is the wife of Bruce Don
aid, member of the Donald Comp
ary, Grand Island wholesale firm.
Mrs. Donald believes that if the
Republican Organization of the
State of Nebraska is to receive full
cooperation from the National Or
ganization it is essential that the
Committeewoman should respond
in person to every meeting of the
National Committee. Her candi-
dacy is meeting with encouraging
response from party leaders and
workers throughout the State.

EDISON SMITH,
CANDIDATE FOR
DISTRICT D
STANDS FOR FAIR PLAY

One candidate for District Judge
who is certain to receive a large
vote in the colored precincts of
Omaha, as well as in the rest of
the judicial district, is Edison
Smith, prominent lawyer, who was
for a number of years Assistant
United States Attorney. He is a
son of Robert Smith, Clerk of the
District Court, Who has always
been very popular in North Oma-
ha. Robert Smith now has a num-
Der of colored people employed in
his office.
Edison Smith was born in Oma-
ha, attended Lake and Lothrop
grade schools and Central High
School, where he was a captain in
the Cadet Regiment and was a
member of the football squad on
which Ledrue Galloway and Mar
tin Thomas starred. Another friend
of Edison Smiths who attended
high school with him is Art Nc
Cav.
Mr.. Smith is making a vigorous
campaign and has had published a
biographical sketch written by
Bruce McCulloch, the Editor of
the Journal Stockman. Among the
endorsements appearing on the
back of the biographical sketch
are those of Reverend F. P. Jones,
T. p. Mahammitt, Pauline Nit
chell and Maggie MCGOWAN, to-
gether with the endorsements of
a number of other persons repre-
senting leaders of business, labor
and civic organizations. Edison
Smith was graduated. from Har-
ward Law School, was admitted
to the bar and sworn in as Assis-
tant United States Attorney for
tine District OF Nebraska in June
of 1929.
In 1884 he resigned his place
with the Department of Justice
and became associated with the
largest law firm in Omaha, during
which association he gained wide
experience in the general practice
of law.
In 1897 Edison Smith formed a
partnership with his father for
the practice of law under the firm
name of Robert and Edison Smith
which continued until 1889, when
Robert Smith again became Clerk
of the District Court. Edison Smith
became associated with Clinton
Bronze and Alfred A. Fielder, and
continues in the general practice of
law with them under the name
of Bronze, Smith & Fielder.
Those who know Edison Smith
well, know that he will show the
same willingness to work in his
conduct of the office of District
as he has shown working as
lawyer in private practice. He be-
lieves that public office is a pub
lie trust, and that the public SER
want should be expected to devote
as much time and energy to his
job IS does the man IN private
employment. AS a judge, he would
be courteous to counsel and to
others appearing in court. He
would be attentive, patient and
impartial. He has what is known
as a judicial temperament. He has
the ability to understand and to
analyze both sides of an argu-
ment. All litignats would dome
before him on a basis of equality
regardless of their social standing,
race, religion or political connec-
tions. He has the courage to rem
der judgment according to law.
He will be fair to everybody.
