Radio Audience:

Radio Audience:
 This is Jack Carol, of the Dewey Warren Headquarters of Juneau, Alaska
 Before introducing the speakers on tonight's program, may I read you a newsgram from United States News:
 Presidential campaign is to be more of sham battle than a real contest.
 Governor Dewey appears to be headed for the White House for a landslide electoral vote.
 President Truman has little strength anywhere, even the South is breaking.
 Political trends suggest that it's all over except counting the ballots in November.
 One polling expert even thinks more polls are useless"
 That is what the United States News of recent issue states.
 We now salute Governor Thomas E. Dewey, next President of the United States. who is speaking to- night in Des Moines, Iowa. Governor Dewey. Alaska is with you, Good Luck on your Western trip.
 MT. Shelton has now arrived from Sitka and will follow MT. White on this program.
 The next speaker will be Albert White, for 36 year resident of Alaska, and a support of Governor Dewey through the years.
 Good evening.
 The Republican Party has shat tered precedent in nominating a man who was once unsuccessful for the Presidency of the United States.
 That he has been again acclaimed leader of the party in spite of his defeat speaks great deal for Gov ernor Dewey as a man, an admin istrator and good judge of public sentiment, that perhaps is the high est appraisal that could be extended to any man.
 The same qualities which have carried him twice in your years to the highest position a national party can offer, promise to the people of the United States a super for occupant in the White House beginning next January.
 Friend and foe alike view his rec ord as Governor of New York, the second biggest job in the country with respect and admiration. There are many thoughtful persons who feel that Governor Dewey has had the best available training for the service as President of the United States.
 One of Tom Dewey's greatest as- sets has been his ability to surround himself with men of high caliber and to delegate responsibility to them. Executive ability of this type has been conspicuous by its absence from the White House since 1883.
 He has every claim to the hearty support of not only Republican but disillusioned Democrats who have seen the disintergration of the New Deal regime and the bankruptcy of responsible administration under Harry Truman. Deewy enters the campaign, believe, with the major ity of the support of the people of this nation.
 Governor Earl Warren has been a Republican dark horse for years. Like Governor Dewey, Warren has a background of achievement in State Government. He draws his support from every element and class. His opponents in California politics have always recognized his adroitness in dealing with organized labor groups and his finesse in rela- tions to individuals.
 Leave the door open, said Gov- ernor Warren to his secretary the day he took office as Governor of California. And that door has re- mained open ever since so that any citizen, great or smally may crash the Governors office with com- plaints suggestions or just greet ings.
 Alaska will go ahead under Gov ernor Dewey and Governor Warren. They know it's problems and will be strongly in favor of its develop ment.
 Governor Dewey has alwayst rec ognized the value of our women in holding positions of public trust and honor. More than PIT have been appointed by him and he is today surrounded by group of intelligent women that have share in his fortunes to make him Presi- dent of the United States. So has the Republican Party in Alaska se- lected many outstanding women.
