EN- ROUTE TO ALBANY, Oct.
26.-Gov. Thomas E. Dewey
headed eastward today for a
flnal vote drive in the important
Atlantic Coast States, after de-
livering the most serious attack
ever leveled at the integrity of
the Roosevelt administration be-
fore 10000 cheering spectators in
the Chicago Stadium last night.
The Republican nominee charged
that for a thousand dollars laid
on the line to finance the fourth
term drive, this administration Of
fers for sale special privilege in
Guiding the special privilege of
assisting in the formulation of ad-
ministration policies"
His charge was based on a letter
which he said was dated October
Is on the letterhead of Democratic
Campaign Headquarters, Little
Rock, Ark, soliciting members for a
One Thousand Club. Gov. Dewey
said the letter was signed H. L.
McAllster and Sam j. Watkins,
State finance directors" and ex-
planned that the idea for the club
originated at recent White House
conference among the President,
Robert E. Hannegan. chairman of
the Democratic National Committee,
and Edwin w. Pauley, treasurer of
the committee.
Strong Language Used.
The "One Thousand Club" charge
climaxed a series Of allegations in
which Gov. Dewey accused the ad-
ministration of deception" and
"subterfuge" to keep itself in ONCE.
In stronger language than any
previous candidate has used against
Mr.. Roosevelt, Gov. Dewey reviewed
the Supreme Court REORGANIZATION
light, the investigation of politics in
WPA and Mr.. Roosevelt's statement
to his New York neighbors when he
voted four years ago that this "is
the last time, very obviously, that I
will do this as a candidate for
Office"
And now he's running for the
fourth time" Gov. Dewey continued.
Is 1t any wonder that when the
White House speaks the first ques-
ton the people ask is not whether
the news is good or bad, but Is it
true?'"
Gov. Dewey's visit to Chicago, lust
three days ahead of Mr.. Roosevelt's
appearance there Saturday, was one
OF the high points of his campaign.
100000 Line Streets.
A crowd estimated at 500, 900 lined
the streets between the railroad sta
ton and the Stevens Hotel showered
the Loop district with confetti to
greet him on his arrival in mid
afternoon. The stadium in which
he accepted the Republican nomina-
| ton four months ago was filled to
the roof to hear him last night.
On the stage were several Holly
wood celebrities-Adolph Meniou.
Barbara Stanwyck and Eddie Brack-
en-. Near them sat former Vice Presi-
dent Charles G. Dawes.
His face set in look of deter
mlnation, Gov. Dewey dashed out at
his opponent in these words:
From the very beginning, Mr..
Roosevelt had used deception as a
major stratagem until today he has
lost the moral confidence of the
Nation. Even in the ranks of those
blocs which represent his follow
ers his support rests not upon their
confidence in his integrity, but upon
the cynical assurance that he will
serve their interests because their
votes are necessary to his mainte-
nance in power.
But deception is not the only
political stratagem that this admin
istration has employed in the effort
to perpetuate itself in power for 16
