ON DEWEY TRAIN EN- ROUTE TO
OKLAHOMA, Sept. 23.-Two weeks of
watching Gov. Thomas F. Dewey in ac-
ton as presidential candidate leave
several definite impressions in the mind
OF this observer as to what may be ex-
pected in the six crucial weeks that lie
ahead.
i. That this young, highly confident
executive of the Empire State is going
to conduct an adriot battle against a
President who made history by breaking
the third-term tradition and is out to
win fourth.
2. That the Dewey campaign is being
planned with the careful precision of
lawyer. unfolding his case step by step
to the jury of 40 or so million voters,
and working up gradually to the day
OF final argument.
3. That he is not likely to blunder
into hasty words or moves that at times
in the past have cost aspirants for the
White House many votes on election day.
4. That the young, dignified Governor
Of New York possesses some Of those
campaign attributes that helped Mr..
Roosevelt to become the champion vote
getter in American politics to date.
Started Slowly.
Turning to the first OF these impress
sions, Gov. Dewey, in his long journey
to the Northwest and thence down the
Pacific Coast, started out at . compare
lively slow pace, like a runner who is
saving his wind for that final lap,
where burst of speed counts most.
His six formal speeches were short,

this early stage. It Is safe to say, how.
ever. that by calling in these local
groups OF farmers, workers, war veterans
and colored leaders-giving them a
chance to explain their problems and
ask questionable created some measure
of good will in each of those COM
munities.
Makes Few Mistakes.
The impression that Gov. Dewey is
not likely to make many mistakes by ILL.,
considered words or actions Is gained
mainly from the way he handles himself
in his frequent press conferences. In
fencing with the hundred or more politi-
cal writer's VINO shower down the ques-
tions, Gov. Dewey's courtroom training
from his earlier days as district attorney,
stands him in good stead. He has de-
veloped friendly and af1able manner
toward the press corps. He will call
those he knows by their first names, but
when . fast question is fred at him,
loaded with political dynamite, he tosses
1t back with q smile.
frequently q reporter will try and
draw him out by taking some previous
speech. or statePent. and saying, in
other words. Governor, you meant SO
and so?" Invariably the Governor will
reply that his Statement spoke for
ITSELF" He has q keen faculty for re-
membering how he phrased . previous
answer. and win recall Il ureciselv II an
interviewer restates 1t In different words.
There is every indication that Gov.
Dewey viii step up the tempo Of his
campaign early in October, and that the
further he goes the more fighting spirit
he viii display.

Gov DEWEY NAPREssES OBSERVER WITH HIS CAMPAIGNING SKILL

timed perfectly to I'LL 30-minute pro-
gram on the radio. Each speech was
built around particular theme-foreign
policy. labor, or the indispensable man
but into each one he also managed to
repeat for his new audience certain
broad arguments that he, apparently,
intends to hammer at without letup
until election day.
These include such lines as "the de-
featist attitude" of the administration:
the "quarreling and pickering" of num-
erous overlapping agencies, and, most
frequently Of all, his claim that until
war came the present administration
had failed to solve the unemployment
problem.
Even before he was made the COP
standard bearer his clear cut radio voice
was recognize as one Of his chief assets.
The observation has often been made
that he Is the strongest rival President
Roosevelt has yet had to face in that
vital phase of modern campaigning,
Hold Audience Interest.
But this Western trip has revealed
another similarity in the young Re-
publican nominee and his veteran ad-
versary. That lies in his style OF COM
position. He has learned to blend into
his discussion of weighty issues simple
phrases that have way OF catching on.
He speaks often OF doing things "the
American way" or of looking forward to
"a better life"
He holds the interest of his visible
audience, as evidenced by the applause
at regular intervals, but you get the
definite impression as you watch him
that he also has constantly in mind the
great unseen audience out beyond the
Evening star., 1944-09-24

microphones. After listening to him,
first in hall and then from q loud
speaker outside, you realize that he has
mastered the art of broadcasting.
AS to the care with which he is
planning his fight, that also was evident
on this Western trip. On the Pacific
Coast, where there are hundreds OF
thousands of industrial war workers, he
assured labor they would lose none of
their gains, either in working condi-
tions or social security In fact, he
puzzled some veteran political observers
covering his campaign by the extent to
which he went in giving wholehearted
Endorsement to many Of the laws en-
acted in those two fields in the past IL
years. In doing this, however, he was
accepting recognized principles but seek
ing to show that the present administra-
ton has fallen down in its methods Of
applying them.
The Republicans believe they have
chance this year to win back large
segment Of the labor vote, because one
branch Of labor-the CIO-has become
such a major factor In President Roose-
velt's campaign, but this chance would
have faded quickly If Gov. Dewey had
not taken fortnight position early on
such basic questions as the broadening
Of social security coverage, collective
bargaining and wage-hour controls.
VIII Hit Harder. @
Having removed any doubt at the
start that he is for the preservation of
these principles, there are strong indi-
cations that, as the campaign progresses,
he will hit harder and harder at the
mistakes he believes the Roosevelt ad-
Evening star., 1944-09-24

ministration has made In applying
these new laws, particularly in the field
Of labor control.
Gov. Dewey's cross-country swing
followed a rather slow tempo at the
start, but there were signs in the past
few days Of gradually changing pace,
which reached climax in Los Angeles
Friday night, when 10000 persons
crowded into the big outdoor coliseum
to hear him pledge improvements in the
social security program. The vote Of
Los Angeles approximates IS per cent
of that cast in the entire State, but it
would be mistake to Judge the out
come Of the election. either there or any
where else, by the fact that he filled
nearly every seat in the huge bowl.
-Four years ago Wendell L. Willkie
drew crowd Of similar proportions in
that same arena. In November he polled
100000 more votes than the preceding
Republican nominee, but it was not
enough to beat Mr.. Roosevelt.
BY the same token, 1t would be mis-
leading to attach too much significance
to the absence Of large crowds on the
streets In some other places. In fact, If
there should prove to be a falling OF in
interest in politics, with resultant de-
cline in the total vote, the result could
be more disturbing to the adnnistra-
ton. .
In between the few speeches he made
during this first phase Of his campaign,
Gov. Dewey saw privately hundreds Of
men and women, active in the daily life
OF every community he visited, and the
value Of these informal conferences to
his campaign cannot be estimated at

Dewey's Trip Brings Gains
BIZ James De X. Bro,pn.

SEATTLE, Sept. 23.-Whether or not
the visit Of Gov. Thomas e. Dewey in
the Pacific Northwest, and his attempt
to open wider the breach In organized
labor ranks, between the CIO, railroad
brotherhoods and American Federation
Of Labor, will be reflected in November
In his favor remains to be seen. Labor
reaction tn the Puget Sound Basin was
favorable. Dewey did help himself here.
He also created favorable atmosphere
in Eastern Washington, where surveys
showed some slipping Of the Republican
majority.
There Is no question but In idaho
Dewey did help as in Oregon. which
has been showing signs OF swinging
toward the Democrats on the national
ticket. He has apparently assisted in
of1setting an adverse reaction due to the
sudden switch of the Oregon Journal
to the support of President Roosevelt.
The journal supported Willkie in
1910. 1t opposed third term strenu-
ously. Recently, on the eve of Dewey's
visit, 1t came out for Roosevelt. This
hurt the Republicans in the largest vot-
ing section Of the State, but reports
from Portland indicate that Dewey's
visit and conferences have Stirred up a
new enthusiasm there.
In Montana, where there is a bitter
struggle for control Of the Democratic
party between Senator Burton X.
Wheeler, anti-Roosevelt, and Jerry j.
O'Conneu, former Congressman and now
State director Of the PAC Of the CIO,
Dewey stock is rising Montana is still
in the Democratic ranks, but political
leaders frankly indicate that it might
give the Dewey-Bricker ticket a small
majority in November. However, in
Washington, Idaho and Oregon the
registration is low and the vote promises
to be comparatively small.
The Political Action Committee is be-
coming more active, in the Pacific North
west, but is finding strenuous opposition
from old-line conservative Democrats,

Wallace hammered away on the New
Deal line that Gov. Dewey lacks the
experience and vision to occupy the
White House in these critical times,
adding an admonition that, like it or
not, Dewey is destined to get the isola-
zionist vote and will have to trim his
policies to accommodate those hackers.

Chicago News Backs Dewey
By Charles N. Wheeler.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Sept. 23.-Unqualified
Endorsement Of Gov. Dewey for the
presidency by the independent Chicago
Daily News was the outstanding de-
velopment Of the campaign on this
salient the past week.
The 1,000-word announcement, dis
passionate but withal arresting recital
Of reasons compelling the decision, un-
doubtedly will influence political think
ing somewhat in the Midwest quite be-
yond the papers 100000 quality circula-
ton in the corn belt.
Unbending opposition to extension Of
the presidential tenure beyond two
terms is assigned as the main reason
for preferring Dewey, who is held emf
nently qualified to head the Govern
ment in fashioning the postwar peace
program and in readjusting the Demo-
cratic economy on healthy and sound
basis.
1t recalls that four years ago, even
when the late Col Frank Knox, the
publisher, was in the cabinet, Willkie
was supported on the tenure issue,
adding:
And we have not changed our mind.
We were not for third term We are
not for fourth. Nor do we believe the
American people desire a perpetual
President"
Will Help Dewey.
While appraising highly Mr.. Roose-
velts direction of the war effort and
giving him an assured place in history,
1t regrets he yielded to the third-term
temptation in 1910 and is pursuing a
like ambition now.
The announcement came like a
thunderclap in the Chicagoland area, as
the news is regarded by vast numbers
of persons in this whole section as q
sort Of political bible in holding firm
to an independent attitude and In sup
porting clean government, totally In
different to party considerations.
Whether it may prove Just the weight
required to tip the balance toward
Dewey in Illinois and Indiana Is con-
jectural, but 1t is bound to give him,
quite likely, = high rating among great
numbers Of independents.
Otherwise the situation has remained
about the same through the week in the
corn belt area, except the Dewey trend
in Iowa begins to look like . ground

legionnaires attending the national con-
vention here

LOS ANGELES, Calf, Sept. 23.-
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey and his two
major campaign speeches in California
held the center of the States political
stage this week while q serio-c0medy
involving a Democratic nominee for
Congress with former Ku Klux Klan
afflliations furnished all of the at
fractions Of a suitable side show.
Dewey was tumultuously received in
San Francisco, where $4,000 turned out
to greet him, and in Los Angeles where,
in Memorial Coliseum, he addressed
the largest throng which has gathered
thus far anywhere in the Nation to
hear the 1914 presidential campaign
discussion.
The net result Of the COP nominees
personal appearance in California, it
is generally agreed, has been favorable
to the Republican ticket, and he left
the State after assurances from local
Republican leaders that they expect
to carry 1t in November.
Generally regarded as the beneficiary
Of intensive primary election CAM
paigning by the C1O Political Action
Committee. Radio Broadcaster Hal
Styles, who defeated Representative
John Costello for the Democratic nomi-
nation for Congress in the 18th Cali
fornia district, became the center of
controversy embarrassing to party lead
ers here when it was learned that
Styles was at one time active in Ku
Klux Klan activities in New York.
Styles admitted membership in the
organization but explained in a radio
broadcast that he joined the hooded
order for the purpose Of spying" upon
