Dewey leading Republican candidate for Presidential nomination, is proof of America’s unlimited opportuni ties for those who have the wish to succeed. One of millions of small town lads who chafe at their sup posedly limited field of endeavor, Tom Dewey, with vision coupled with ambition, has hurdled obsta cles which would have dismayed and halted less fearless spirits and stands today the leading candidate of his party for the highest of fice in the land. Thomas E. Dewey’s story of success is a story of a midwest farm boy who clung to his ideals and started a wave of public de cency which has swept the coun try and toppled hitherto untouch able “big shots” from their thrones. Thomas E. Dewey has shown the country that the pub lic did not have to put up with crooked hidden government. His chief aim is to restore jobs to the unemployed, by correcting the evils >f lack of harmony between capi tal and labor. “I say to you,” Mr. Dewey stated at Minneapolis, “that both capital and labor WANT WORK, that itc tan t i umitdi ati vtri uoeiueiic both DETEST IDLENESS. “Sc I ask you: WHAT keeps the UN EMPLOYED man out of a job? II is a duty of national government to perform its social obligations. 1 believe this administration has sin cerely attempted to fulfill those obligations. But that is only half the job. The OTHER HALF is to maintain, to ENCOURAGE the economic system which supports the government and MAKES per formance of SOCIAL OBLIGA TIONS POSSIBLE." Not far from the rolling Dor chester hills of Massachusetts a farmer in 1634 wrestled with his land. He lifted his eyes occasion ally to the far horizon—symbol to him of the freedom he had come so far to win. But it is doubtful if in his mind’s eye that simple’ God-fearing men saw the limitless sweep of the horizzons of the America that was to be; or if he saw over the hori zon the figure of one of his des cendants moving steadily toward the highest office in the greatest democracy in the world—the presi dency of the United States. That farmer was T. Dewey. The Descendant is Thomas E. Dewey, born in Owosso, Michigan, of sturdy folk who followed their destiny even as they followed the westward course of America. Thomas E. Dewey belongs to all America, for he is a typical American who has used the op portunities our country gives her sons to advance his own career as a public servant in behalf of a better America for all. Thus Dewey, the candidate, was born to a Republican tradition in the upstairs over a red brick general store. As a boy, Tom Dewey attended the public grammar and high schools in his town. He worked in his father’s newspaper office as a printer’s devil; clerked and swept the floors in a drug store; sold magazines and delivered pa pers. When he was sixteen he went to the nearby farms to work dur ing summer vacution for money for college. He entered the Uni-, versity of Michigan in 1919. He continued to work and earn as he studied— he was a reporter and i telegraph editor on the University Daily. Meantime, he delighted college groups and church congregations with his fine singing voice,—the voice that won him a coveted scho larship in New York—in New York ■ where he was ulUmaMy to rise as a national leader. Dewey studied both law and voice there and in the meantime, had met Frances Hutt, another voice student. With characteristic seriousness, the two young people waited un til the young attorney had advanc ed sufficiently in his law practice to enable them to marry. And on June 16, 1928, which was five years after they met, the pair knelt in the chapel of St. Thomas’s Episcopal Church in New York City and exchanged vows. Frances Hutt Dewey then and there gave up all thought of a career of her own to further her husband. That career even then was shap ing into a life work that had at its core the ideal of public service. Two years after his marriage, Dewey had become chief assistant United States Attorney, adminis trative head of the largest prose cuting office in the Federal gov ernment, with 60 lawyers working under him. Then began the specta cular yet sound attack on crime that was to make Dewey’s promo tion inevitable. In a short time, st.- Me JUMlftbt CTiTletf Stales at torney in the history of our coun try, his accomplishments as a fearless, hard-hitting, invincible enemy of organized crime, graft and corruption, were nationally Known. In October 1932, Mrs. Dewey presented her husband with a son, Thomas Edmund, Jr. John Martin Dewey was born three years later in October, 1936. By that time, Dewey had been appointed special prosecutor. Then in 1935, a New York County Grand Jury sensed that the Tammany District Attorney was ignoring evidence of racketeering. They de cided to investigate and the seeds of indignation which Dewey noL sown as a prosecutor by pointing out through his work the lethergy and indifference of local law en forcement agencies, began to bear friut. The Grand Jury called upon the Governor to appoint a special prosecutor and the Jury demanded Dewey. The Governor said he was “too unknown” and offered the post to four other lawyers. They unanimously told the Governor that Dewey was the man and he was finally appointed. All this time, Dewey, true to the Republican traditions of his family, had given his leisure time to Republican organization work. He rang doorbells and worked tirelessly. Then in 1937 he was drafted to run for District Attor ney. He campaigned vigorously. And when the votes were counted New York County had given Dewey the largest plurality of anyone on the Republican ticket. And now Dewey arrested James J. Hines, Tammy District Leader and patronage distributor for the city; for years one of the “un touchables.” Dewey indicted Hines as a protector of the policy racket. Meanwhile, the public was giv en a look at the way Dewey was running the administrative and business end of his office. The thirty-three per cent budget sav ing he had effected had not im paired the work of the office. In stead, new records for Convic tions, speed and efficiency were established at the end of the first six-months period. Hines went to trial a few ^months after he was indicted. There was a mistrial. Dewey took the blow in his stride and began all over again. Within two weeks the Republi can party drafted Dewey as its candidate for Governor. Again Dewey campaigned ably and tire lessly, staying close to state is sues, showing the errors in ad ministration, the way the Demo cratic machine hampered the work of the state. Dewey lost the election by on ly 64,494 votes out of 4,821,631 east. But in defeat he was victor, for his amazing showing convin ced Republicans that here was a leader and a vote-getter. In addition, national jftolls of public opinion showed him lead ing all other Republicans as the choice of the people for the party’s Presidential nomination. And now he was ready for the retrial of Tammany Leader Hines. The case began in January 1939. Hines was convicted this time and subsequently his con viction was upheld on appeal. What of the man—the home man, the family man? Not one breath of the sordid aspects of his work has stirred the quiet graciousness of the home which Mrs. Dewey had created and runs so capably for her husband and their two small sons. Here, indeed is a haven of peace where Dewey, the fearless public servant can be Dewey, the . man, the husband and father, and where he gnins new strength and courage to continue his battle as a servant of the people for hu man rights, freedom and justice, against all the forces of evil and corruption.

Landis April 1, 1940 Mr. John Adams, Jr., Care of The Omaha Guide, Omaha, Nebraska. Dear Mr. Adams: There has just come to my desk several copies of the Omaha Guide in which newspaper I was quite interested for many reasons, not particularly concerned with this letter. On the front page, however, I found your advertisement seeking re-election. You may remember that I listened to your argument in the Supreme Court in a case, which due to the fact that your clients had come to you long af ter the milk was spilled, I felt was a hopeless case. I was impressed with the fact that you presented your case as well as, or better than most of the lawyers whom I had heard presenting cases before the Supreme Court. In riains name that night fron| jrJncoln, I com mented upon this fact to my wife, who, as President of the Nebras ka League of fylibmen Voters, in supporting sow legislation before he Legislature, had become ac- ’ juainted with you. She informed ne that she felt that you were >ne of the most intelligent mem jers of the Uni-Cameral, and one who was making an honest effort to do what was right for the State >f Nebraska. She felt, and I concur absolutely in her belief, that you were an ab solute credit to your race, and that the voters of your district should keep you in the Legislature as long as you desired to remain there. Both she and myself feel that if racial problems are to be presented whenever possible and adjusted amicably whenever they arise, it will come only because voters of both races place enough confidence in men of your type to place them in public office, where they can assist in working out these problems. For those reasons, I sincerely hope that the voters if your dis trict will re-elect you. If they knew your ability, your honesty and your fairness, I feel you should have no opposition what ever. I am not and do not expect ever to be a candidate for public office. I have no interest in any election and no axes to grin, except the one axe that if this republic is going to last, it will be only be cause the voters will forget tem porary expediency and will elect to office men who are honest, able and fair. Very truly yours, Harold A. Prince. HOMES FOR SALE On Easy Terms Houses For Rent And Apartments E. M. DAVIS 2817 No. 24th St. WE. 1166 _______ J . _— , . — - »
