(now the First as a result of re-
districting) is Republican.
In the same years, Mr.. Dewey
was becoming famous. He con-
victed Waxey Gordon, a beer
baron, on income tax violation,
and, as special rackets prosecu-
tor forced Lucky Luciano to
transfer his residence from the
Waldorf Astoria to Sing Sing.
In 1887 he was elected district
attorney of New York County
Manhattan Island).
In 1888, Mr.. Dewey went out
for Governor and Mr.. Brownell
managed his campaign. 1t was
then that the triumvirate of
Edwin Jaeckel of Buffalo, Re-
publican State leader: Russell
Sprague, Nassau County leader,
and Mr.. BroWnell was formed for
the political advancement of Mr..
Dewey. The White House was
the goal.
Mr.. Dewey lost to Gov. Her.
bert H. Lehman by only $4,000
votes-a photo finish in New
York.
Almost Won Nomination.
The triumvirate went to Phil
adelphla in 1910 to get the presi-
Dental nomination for their
man. Mr.. Brownell says his was
a minor assignment, to get the
Nebraska delegates. He got

them. They almost copped the
nomination for their man.
They stopped Senator Taft, but
Wendell Willkie was the bene-
ficiary.
Mr.. Dewey won the governor
ship of New York in 1912 over
John j. Bennett of Brooklyn by
more than 100000 votes. Again
Mr.. Brownell was his manager.
Mr.. Brownell was counsel for
the National Hotel Association
which enabled him to travel the
country advising hotel men on
financial and legal problems and
always working for Tom Dewey
by lining up delegates. He did
SO we'll that Mr.. Dewey captured
the 1914 nomination on the first
ballot. But President Roosevelt
won the election easily on the
crest of the success of American
arms in Europe.
Mr.. BroWnell was Mr.. DeWey's
convention manager again in
1948. Again he put his man over,
this time against a strong bid
by Senator Taft. Every one ad-
miringly said that the Repub-
lican campaign that year, which
Mr.. Browne.l managed, was the
best run in history. The Dewey

ing Sixth.
How do you do it?" they
would ask Sam Koenig of the
Sixth.
Work" was his answer.
Decided To Go To Work.
Mr.. BroWnell and Mr.. Dewey
decided that work would do it
in the 10th. They found there
were lot of young Republicans
living in the district, mostly out
of-towners like themselves. It
was quite the thing to live in
Greenwich Village, in the con-
verted stables in the news,
or alleys, behind Washington
Square or in walk-up apartments
in the mansions about Gramercy
Park, Stuyvesant place and Mur-
ray Hill.
Mr.. Dewey became Mr.. Brown
ellis manager. At that time
t(193D, it is quite evident that Mr..
Dewey thought Mr.. Brownell, his
junior by two years, was the
one with the political future.
Mr.. Dewey was then an assist
ant United States attorney.
They had several hundred
volunteer workers. They divided
the area and deployed their
forces. They actually rang door,
bells, an old technique which
was thought no longer possible
in New York because of the
tremendous population.
Their opponent was Langon
Post, scion of an old Knicker-
booker family and a graduate of
st. Marks and Harvard. He was
interested in the theater, an
industry which had encountered
some difficulty when police, on
the orders of the Tammany
administration, had raided a
play dealing with homoseXual-
ism, a forbidden subject. Mr..
Post put a bill through the AS
sembly protecting actors from
being hauled away in the paddy
wagon. Mr.. Posts attitude was
that of the liberals of those days
of prohibition and Blue Law
revival. It did not count against
him. He defeated Mr.. BroWnell.
But in the following year Mr..
Post was in difficulty, both with
Tammany Hall and the reform
ers. Tammany scratched him
for voting for the Seabury
Investigations; the reformers
charged him with voting against
an appropriation to further the
investigation. This time Mr..
Brownell. with Mr.. Dewey still
his manager, won.
Five Terms in Legislature.
Mr.. Brownell served five terms
in the Legislature. It was
part-time job. In those same
years he was advancing in the
law. He went to work for his
present firm and soon became
partner.
That was Mr.. Brownells politi-

tics. Each district has a Tam
many club and a Republican
club. At the time the Republi-
can clubs could hardly be called
rivals. Most of the Republican
district leaders (the district
leader is the head man of the
club. Democratic or Republican,
were content to lie down and
eat the little meat on the bones
that the Democratic lead er
slipped under the table.
There were two exceptions to
this in Manhattan. One was
the 18th Assembly district, the
Silk Stocking District" gerry
wandered to take in all the
abodes of the wealthy just east
of Central Park-Fifth avenue,
Park avenue and the blocks of
the numbered streets lust off
Fifth" The other was the
sixth Assembly district, an old
area in the Lower East Side,
where the Republican leader was
a remarkable man named Sam
Koenig.
There were a lot Of distin-
guished Republicans living in
Manhattan, George w. Wicker
sham, Charles D. Hilles and
others high in the party coun-
ellis. But there was no one who
could carry a typical New York
district except Sam Koenig.
On election nights the wealthy
Republicans and the jealous
amateurs used to gather at head
quarters to watch the returns
come in. The party would go
down to dismal defeat in district
after district except for the
