Dewey to Aim
at
i ALBANY, NY, Oct 4-flP)-Indi-rations
that Gov. Thomas E. Dew
ey" planned to direct larger share
of his presidential campaign ap
peals toward the so-called "inde
pendent'1' voters developed today
' as the republican nominee labored
on an address scheduled for Charl-
, eston, W. Va, Saturday night
Ready to reply to any attacks
President Roosevelt may make in
a radio talk tomorrow night, Dew
ey huddled with Elliott V, Bell, his
chief assistant in speech-writing.
Don't Expect Attack :
Although lacking any inkling of
what the president will say in bis
broadcast most of. the. Dewey
camp leaders appeared to believe
. the phase of the campaign repre
sented by Mr. Roosevelt's attack
Sept 23 on the GOP, and Dewey's
vigorous retort at Oklahoma City,
may have ended.
One close adviser, who pre
ferred not to be quoted by name,
said that barring unexpected de
velopments, the governor prob
ably would spend a major share
bf his efforts until November 7
attempting to convince undecided
voters In such states as New York,
Pennsylvania, Illinois, Minnesota,
jilassachusetts, and others with
. large electoral totals that the time
had -arrived for a change in ad
ministration. , , . " "
After Independents . .
.As this adviser analyzed the re
publican campaign thus far,
Dewey's appeals-in speeches and
conferences on his swing to the
west coast and back were geared
primarily toward the "independ
ent" vote. He said the Oklahoma
City talk appeared to have served
. as a stimulant to GOP campaign
workers besides offering the -nominee's
answers to the president's
v statements.
With the idea of taking advan
tage of developments as they oc
cur, Dewey and his advisers are
keeping his speaking dates for the
remainder of the campaign sub
ject to change.
In New York, the republican
: I national committee announced
October 24 had been set for Min
neapolis and the following day
for Chicago. James CV Hagerty,
the governor's executive assistant
said tentative arrangements had
, been made for Dewey to go to
Boston November 1.
