Both are lawyers and gov

Both come from middle-class

Both are married TO quiet,

Tom Dewey and John Bricker
are very different human be-
ings. Tom Dewey Is not effu-
sive, but he possesses a sharp,
incisive intellect, a capacity for
organization. a willingness to
delegate authority and respon-
sibility, and a power to get
work done and done right.
Tom Dewey does not spare
himself and does not spare his
assistants, but he does achieve
results.
He resents loose ends. and as
the Republicans in Chicago dis
covered, there were none in his
organization.
He operates In politics with

He does not tolerate loose

Tom Dewey puts his accent on
administration.
John BRICKER is a gentler
