But few persons in New York elsewhere in the country refer to him presence by this abbrevia- tion
 Most people call him Governor including his intensely loyal staff
 Now that the nomination has been made we are going to give little notice to the men whose patient years of bud-up succeeded yesterday
 Closest man to Dewey is his Secretary, able, amiabe bluff. hard working Paul Lockwood An ex- New York newspaperman Lockwood guided Dewey through the early maze of political pitfalls which threatened the young racket-buster He is what Louey Howe was to Franklin Roosevelt and now that Dewey has been nominated large share of the credit goes to him
 Political mentor to Dewey has been Buffalos heavy- iowled tough talking Edwin F. Jaeckle Chair man of the New York COP Committee. Born of Ger man immigrants Jaeckle waxed wealthy on the job of collecting back New York became New Yorks sbrewdest though not most diplomatic upstate COP leader He would lick to forget however that he once drew up the incorporation papers of the German American Bund, and he has tried to atone for it by helping to found the National Conference of Christians and Jews.
 Herbert Brownen, who came out of Nebraska to nractice law in New York, was Deweys Campaign Manager in his successful for Governor in 1922, and continued at the steering wheel during Dewey's political campaign Long member of the New York Legislature he helped put through the racket busters criminal-reform bills.
 ! Russell Sprague as smooth the oysters his father used to hoist from Long Island Sound, has been Deweys chief backstage operator. Born and bred in New York politics, Sprague has been COP boss of Nassau County Long Island for years but has little experience in the big political world outside Except for George Medalie, he is the oldest of the young men around Dewey. His age Is 6l.

hard working. But trouble seems to dog his heels Taft got to Philadelphia after two sleepless nights in the closing days of the Senate, where he did superhuman job. Home one morning at 2 o'clock, he left for Philadelphia at 7:30. Arriving in Phila- delphia simultaneously were John L. Lewis and Big Bill Hutchinson, head of the Carpenters Union who announced to all within earshot that he had come for the express purpose of blocking Bob Taft. The Republicans, he said, could pick anyone but Taft John l.. Lewis came for the double purpose of blocking Taft and nominating his friend, Speaker Joe Martin. Tafts crowping catastrophe just as he was having his picture talk en with Little Eva, the elephant, the huge Taft banner across the hotel lobby fell on his head |.

 Two years ago he crossed the Atlantic alone from Casablanca to New London, Conn.,, in the the Speranza, in fifty eight days.
 The last two winters he has lec- tured in the United States on Pales- tine and the Near East

REPUBLICAN STANDARD BEARER

Gov Thomas E. Dewey of New York has been nominated by the Republican National Convention delegates as candidate for President of the United States.
 It is the first time his party has renomnated man defeated in presidential contest
 In the l944 race with President Roosevelt, Dewey rolled up 220O6278 popular votes to come within 35e6 227 of the fourth-term winner
 Dewey gained fame in the 3Os as racket-busting district attorney in New York City. He became prominent contender in the 194o convention which nominated Wendell Willkie. In 1922 he was the first Republican to be elected Governor of New York in two decades.
 He was born in Owosso Mich. March 24, 1902.
 Millions know Dewey the man with the mus tache who wants to be President, but few know the New York Governor as person.
 Enemies and admirers, react strongly to Deweys personality and describe him accordingly.
 Dewey never lets his hair down in public Seldom in private social or business contacts either and then only part way.
 It would run counter to character, which traces back to his boyhood in Owosso Mich. and he insists .n not doing anything that doesn't come naturally
 People just don't slap Dewey the back, no matter how well they know him. He isn't the type. Nor does the Governor do any k-slapping on his own account. Neither does he kiss babies
 To woo voters he refers instead to the accom- plshments of his administration using superlatives
 To understand Deweys character you must go back to his Owosso days. His father, George, long dead was postmaster and editor of weekly Georges father helped found the Republican Party, Gov Deweys mother Annie, still living an active lie m Owosso is partly of Irish extraction.
 Annie Dewey is of the old school that believed in bringing up children in the tradition of no non sense hard work, ambition get ahead and adher- ence to Christian principles.
 In Owosso, the people who knew him as an argu- mentative boy and young man still call him Tom"

poured into banas uniforms, but tons and giveawayS would make up the District of Columbia deficit. No longer can a good man walk into public life and become a andidate-merely because he's a good man. If so, one of the best men here, Governor Warren, Of California, would have been in. But Warren didn't have the ad- vance buildup. The road to the presidency these days must be paved with glanlor and money, to say nothing of horse trading in smoke filled rooms That's where the big blocks of delegates are auctioned off It's a dele gates, not a peoples convention. And the top leaders don't hesitate to barter their big blocks of votes back and forth like so many shares of stock across the board of the Stock Exchange It's a blemish on democracy, but before this con- vention is over part of the next cabinet may be picked.

Safety Drive
(Washington Post)

At the request of President Truman a national safety drive headed by officials of the Department of Labor will soon get under way. The impetus for such movement is provided by the shocking ls4' record of industrial accdents-17000 deaths and E. ooo GOO injuries Injuries while the job are estl- mated to have cost industry and workers 3750 million dollars while the wage loss alone has greatly exceeded workmen's compensation benefits The time lost rom work because of accidents 1947 is said to be equi- valent to a full years working time for 15o,ooo employees.
 Much of this material loss and the attendant suffering could undoubtedly be avoided That IS indicated by the low accident rates of some large companies whose employees are engaged in extra hazardous work that has been made comparatively safe by installation of protective devices and enforce ment of safety rules It IS in the smaller pants employing only a few workers that 70 per cent of injuries occur Consequently one of the maln oo- iectiyes of the safety drive will be to induce the of these smaller plants to take steps to reduce the frequency accidents and to suggest how that can best be done.
 In connection with this campaign the President also urges Congress make grants to the States TOT
 the purpose of expanding their industrial safety worK through their own departments of labor. That, too is essential for individual employers cannot be ex nected to keep abreast of the latest developments In the safety field Moreover official inspection otcla advice and official reminders of shortcomings are employers and prevent progressive employers from backsding and adding to the unnecessarily large num- Der of victims of industrial accidents

VIRGINIA CHURCH
GROUP OPPOSES
SEGREGATION

RICHMOND, March A. (ANP)
Abolition of segregation in all
it's forms was the main platform
of the executive committee of the
Virginia Council of churches
when it met i n the YNCA here
last week. The committee went on
record advocating abolition of seq
regation on public carriers, and
repeal of state and local laws for
biding churches to hold unsegre-
gated religious meetings in pub
lie buildings.
In announcing the action, the
group said it was not speaking in
the name of the Is Protestant de-
nominations which compose the
council, but that it would offer
the recommendation to the
churches as a basis for study.
In addition, they recommended
that qualifications for voting or
service in connection with cleo
tons be administered without dis
elimination because of race, creed,
or color; that Negroes be en-
paneled for jury service and that
they be appointed to school
boards and boards of other politi-
cal, public, civic and social serv-
ice agencies on basis Of merit.

ness in 1853. Men, women and
children in authentic costumes of
the period are shown Shopping
at Rike's."
Another window shows men,
women and children promenading
in Easter fashions Of 1873.
In the window of 1898 the dirt
walks change to the boardwalks
used in that period, and the fam
lily promenadesw it'll the baby
carriage on their way to church.
In the window of 1913-the
sidewalks become brick walks, and
teenagers wearing fashions of the
period are shown in a park scene.
In the 1923 window the walks
become cement, and the models
are shown wearing the "flapper"

fashions of thep eriod.
The next change in fashion
comes in 1888, and you will be
amazed that you wore fashions
like these so recently.
Even the fashions shown in the
windows of 1943 look strange
when we compare them with the
"New Look" in Easter Fashions
for Spring, 1913.
The windows on Second street
show interiors of the Gay Nineties
"a living room, a bedroom and
a dining room with authentic fur
nishings of that period bring fond
recolletcions to many ow us.
The antique costumes used in
these windows are authentic mus
cum pieces, and have been as
sembled with great care. 1t will
be worth a trip to Dayton to see

Rike's store-wide 95th anniver-
sary sale will be held from March
2 through March 6-and these
historical windows will remain in
through this period.
