Dewev Stirs Emotions of Followers
By HAL BOYLE
Associated Press
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey probably
stirred the emotions of his follow
ers more deeply in defeat than he
ever had in victory.
He took one of the most crushing
upsets in American political his
tory with real sportsmanship.
In his post-election press con
ference—a 13-minute farewell to
his national political aspirations—
he gave no excuses for his defeat.
And he indulged in no self-pity.
He wore the air of a champion
who had given his best of what he
had to give—and he didn’t blame
anybody if that hadn’t won him
what he wanted.
Members Red-Eyed
There were a number of red-eyed
members of his staff at the confer
ence, and Dewey, a man who rare
ly demonstrates personal emotion,
brought tears to their eyes as he
thanked the efforts made in his be
half.
He showed that he does have in
some measure a gift of leadership
that some observers have doubted
—the ability to inspire affections
as well as loyalty. Many will long
l remember what he said of his wife,
. who remained by his side a 11 night
. as for a second time in four years
his dream of being president ebbed.
“She has been through this be
fore,” he said. “We have won and
lost at various times—and all in
good fun.”
Dewey Only 46
Many staunch friends of Dewey
find it had to believe he will carry
out the desire he expressed pri
vately on several occasions during
the campaign—never to run for
public office again if he were de
feated.
He is only 46 and few men his
age have ever had such meteoric
political careers. His present term
as governor lasts through 1950.
Although he is the only unsuc
cessful candidate ever renominated
by the Republican party, there is
plenty of precedent if he should
change his mind and toss his hat
in the ring a third time.
Thomas Tried Six Times
Norman Thomas has tried six
times for the Socialists. Henry
Clay was a presidential aspirant in
almost every campaign between
1824 and 1848 and died unrecon
ciled to failure at 76. William Jen
ings Bryan was the Democratic
standard bearer three times—and
was willing to take the draft again
any time.
Perhaps it was their example
that led Dewey to conclude two
strikes were enough.
Son Expressed Doubt
The first member of the Dewey
family to express doubt on the elec
tion trend was the governor’s
younger son, John, 13.

Early Tuesday night the family
posed together for newsreels in
the Hotel Roosevelt. To make the
scene more realistic, a newsreel
man turned on the radio and
grouped the Deweys around it.
“Truman is leading by—,” the
radio blared unexpectedly.
John whistled in amazement and
exclaimed:
“Holy gee, Dad!”
Dewey smiled and said:
"That doesn’t mean anything. It
doesn’t count. That’s just the
South.”
He wasn’t convinced himself un
til the next morning when two
states of his own midwest—Illinois
and Ohio—went against him.

what little decorum tne program
has managed to retain.
Crosby tried valiantly to teach
Mortimer Snerd to sing, but the
results were far from being mir
aculous. Mortimer’s rendition of
“Put ’Em in a Box” should have
been.
The program had the usual de
rogatory remarks about Bob
Hope, a feature Hope and Crosby
fans have come to expect and
look forward to.
