That is not too much to ask in the
name of those who have died for
+he future of our country. This is
~ task to be entrusted to stubborn
men, grown old and tired and
o11arrelsome in office. We learned
that in 1872
Dewey was introduced by Rep.
1osenh w. Martin, Jr., of Massa-
chusetts, the convention chairman,
As .'the next president of the Unit
ed States"
The nominee wore gray bust
ness suit and dark maroon tie.
selected today with Governor
prcker to try to lead the Republi-
csn party on a triumphal march
hack to the White House, Dewey
denarted from this prepared speech
to say:
81 am happy and proud to be
associated with my good friend
from the state of Ohio, John w.
Bricker.
For many months John Brick
or has gone from state to state
telling the people of the issues, of
the great need for better govern
ment. for the sound principles OF
government, and the leadership
which will come to it with Re-
publican victory this year.
'Never before have I seen such
good craftsmanship and good
craftsmanship as that displayed by
John Bricker here this morning and
am proud to be associated with
him."
In tier on tier of seats, the great
est throng yet attracted to the
twenty third Republican conclave,
heard Dewey promise:
ION January goth next year our
government will again have cab
met of the ablest men and women
to be found in America
The 42-year-old former racket
buster, who would be the youngest
president in American history-if
he wins in November-injected into
his acceptance speech an accent
on youth. He laid special emphasis,
too, on the assertion that this
election will bring an end to one
man government in America.
Sitting about 10 feet from where
her husband spoke into micro
form, Mrs. Dewey's eyes never
wandered from her husband as he
spoke. On her face was an express
sion of content and concentration.
Getting out his verbal bludgeon,
tinging his voice with sarcasm,
the New York governor accused
the Roosevelt administration of
never having solved "this funda-
mental problem of jobs and oppor-
tunity.''
1.-THE problem Of jobs will not be
easily solved" he declared, but
il will never be solved at all I'M
less we get a new, progressive ad-
ministration in Washington - and
that means a Republican admins
tration."
A lone Wisconsin holdout, Grant
Ritter, Beloit farmer, was the only
convention delegate to cast vote
against Dewey. Bricker was nom
mated unanimously.
Dewey won a ten-miaute ovation,
the delegates screaming ana
whistling, as he walked onto the
platform. He smiled broadly and
lifted high his hands in recongnl-
ton. His attractive wife stood
beside. him during the demonstra-
ton. and, when he started talk
ing, took seat. The nominee
spent several minutes posing for
photographers, and again, at tne
end of his speech, posed with his
running mate, Governor Broker;
He spoke without benefit OF
water, Chairman Martin having
banged his gavel so Justify that
he knocked the water glass from
the stand and broke it to pieces.
No one thought to replace it.
Fifty-eight separate times cne
audience broke into his speech
to applaud.
For the first time during the
convention, the towering wooden
hillsides of the upper balconies
were nearly filled with spscta-
tors. AS soon as Dewey finish
