WITH THE DEWEY CAMPAIGN
TRAIN. Sept. 81. UP)-Governor

the rest of this week and two major
speeches to the most determined
drive of his 670O-mile presidential
campaign tour for the states 25
electoral college voteS-fourth larg-
est bloc at stake in the November
election.
For a state where personal popu-
larity usually means more than
party organization, the Republican
presidential nominee scheduled ma
ior addresses both at San Francisco
tonight and Los Angeles tomorrow
night, instead OF the customary
single appearance.
Party organization was not ig-
nored, however. The New York gov
ernor's first day schedule included
meetings with mayors of cities and
towns surrounding the populous
San Francisco bay and lunch with
COP leaders from neighboring
counties as we'll as private CONVEX
sations with Governor Earl War
rem, who took himself out of the
Republican presidential race at the
Chicago convention last June in the
face of the mounting Dewey land
slide.
Warren, before leaving Saera-
mento last night tC meet Dewey in
Oakland, said he would venture no
prediction on whether the states rs
electoral votes will be in the Repub-
lican or Democratic column in No
vember.
The California governor said that
If Dewey asked for an opinion he
would tell him I'VE count votes in
November and not in September" "
and added he thought the cam
paign depended on good hard
work"
