 Moves Immediately
 Dewey Is moving immediately to set up his campaign strategy. He meets tomorrow with the Repuhli- can national committee and may at that time denote Chairman Harri- son E. Spangler to mere member ship from Iowa. It is customary for a presidential nominee to choose his own chairman, but any change could be delayed for some time without interfering materially with campaign plans.
 New York national committeeman J. Russell Sprague and Herbert Brownell, Jr., who managed Deweys 1942 gubernatorial campaign, are being discussed for the job. They are two of the triumvirate of Dewey managers who felt the draft breeze stirring as the votes for governor of New York were being counted in November, 1922. They famed it more than somewhat and 1t became the big Republican wind this year.
 Although Dewey plans a hard campaign, according to his asso- ciates, 1t probably will not get going until late August or early Septem- Der. The young New Yorker-he is the youngest man ever nominated for president by the Republican party-knows a good idea when he sees one. President Roosevelt's three successful presidential campaigns and winning gubernatorial contests before that demonstrate the wisdom of starting the heavy speaking late. MT. Roosevelt generally gets going around October 1.
 Overcome Disappointment
 Republicans are overcoming their disappointment that Gov. Earl War ren of California would not run for vice president ct their command. The idea was that Warren on the ticket would assure the Republi- cans of California's 26 electoral votes. They put Gov. John w. Bricker of Ohio in second place and are batting themselves on the back for having thereby made Ohio's 26 electoral votes sure for the G. O. P. next November.
 Dewey and Bricker, cool and dis- tant of late as their utterly differ ent pre-convention techniques de- veloped, patched 1t all up last night before cheering thousands. The governors struck hands and stood there chatting while the photogra- phers burned bulbs by the hundreds. Both men had come a long way and Bricker had backtracked a bit since the spring day at the Her. shey conference when the governor of Ohio pointed Q stern finger at @ reporter whose tongue had slipped and admonished him:
 Don't call me Governor Dewey"
 The consensus here was that 1t was strong ticket and that Dewey's nomination had been in- evitable for months although the draft" nature of the effort in his behalf persuaded other hopefuls that they might head him of with a direct appeal to the people.
 No Specific Issues
 Dewey developed no specific iS- sues in his acceptance speech. That will come later as the campaign de- velopS. But he said enough to prove that he intends to needle the New Deal and to slug 1t if the opportun- ity offers. In brief, he said the Roosevelt administration was a go- getter in its youth and accomplish. ed great things, but that 1t suffers now from the disadvantages of old age. Dewey, at 42, can count MT. Roosevelt at 62 an old man, and there are men of 70 years and over in the presidents cabinet.
 There is comfort for Republicans in the fact that Dewey has been around the track once before. He had his warm-up in l940 in a pre- convention campaign which &C., quainted him with most of the country and many of the leading Republicans here and there. Dewey knows his political pathways and his three pre-convention. managers are strictly professional.
 Sprague, the spokesman, clicks like precision instrument and the others are wise in their fields. The third of the group Is Edwin F. Jaeckle, Republican State Chair man in New York. It is his job this year to carry that big state and its 47 electoral votes for Dewey and Bricker.
 Crucial States
 New York and Pennsylvania are the crucial states as of now. Dewey cannot be elected if he loses both of them, in the judgment of political observers, and his chances are slight if either goes Democratic. They are not the only doubtful states in this election year, but they are big enough to cause the most concern.
 Dewey probably will remain here until tomorrow evening or Saturday morning to meet with such political big and little shots as may remain hereabouts. If he returns by train leaving at an appropriate time the daylight way stations in Indiana and Ohio may have glimpse of him en route to Albany. But no immediate speeches are planned.
 Last night he mixed into the mul- titude on a handshaking spree. The big Dewey for President ballroom here, opened as the symbolism of the draft" ceased to be essential, was crowded with delegates who had helped during the day to make his nomination a i,056 to triumph The governor moved through the crowds pump-han6ling his vel. wisher5 and reminding them that 2 presidential candidate cannot win an election all by himself. It takes lot of door bell ringing. too.
