There was something. about it that captured popular fancy in the party. i So when the Philadelphia con- vention got under way the air was i electric. District Attorney Thomas E. Dewey of New York City and i Senator Robert A. Taft of Ohio were the leading active candidates with a number of others, including "favorite sons," in the field.
