CONVINCED ON DEWEY

But Americans who have OBJ
served his public career from
rackets prosecutor to governor of
the nations greatest state. and
Americans who listened TO his
sincere and fortnight address of
acceptance must feel convinced.
as we do, that Thomas K Dewey
is devoted to the principles upon
which the nation was founded
and that he has a will to start
the nation anew on the road of
its sacred purpose.
Without such a will and devo-
ton and without a clearer COM
prehenSion of our national destiny
than the present administration
has ever displayed we shall almost
inevitably lose the peace and our
generation will again be recreant
TO the trust that is America.
Thus for the second time in its
history the Plain Dealer extends
its full support TO Republican
candidate for the presidency and
solemnly urges all whose political
thinking may be affected by its
judgments to vote for Thomas 4.

NEED FOR CHANGE

There is imperative need, in our
opinion, for a fresh approach 10
the major problems confronting
the nation today. There is even
more need for a redefinition of
our national purpose and a sacred
recommitment TO the principles
upon which the nation was
founded.
The issue is not of changing
horses in the middle of the stream.
II is rather of drifting with the
tides of disintegration TO certain
disaster, or by dint of clear vision
and earnest effort working our
way 10 the safe port of greater
America than our forefathers
'enViSioned.
From President Roosevelt and
those associated with him in the
government currently, and those
likely TO he entrusted with places
of responsibility in his administra-
ton if he is reelected, there can
be little hope either of a fresh
approach to our national problems
or for passionate intention TO
restore the dignity and re-estab-
hsh the freedom of the individual.
FOREIGN TO AMERICA
BY the force of the events of the
hast II years, If not by design, the
present administration is fashion
ng a social and an economic sys-
tenn that is as foreign to the
America of Washington and Lin
coin as II is TO the democracy of
Jackson and Cleveland and Wilson.
In pointing to the weaknesses
Of the present government and in
calling TO attention the grave
dangers inherent in the policies
of the New Deal party we have
said little about Gov. Dewey ano
the course he would likely pursue
in the event of his election anC
Inauguration.
