Earl Warren, Gov. Thomas E. Dewey opened his presidential campaign In Cali fornia today by meeting local republican officials In a recep tion at an Oakland hotel prior to his speech here tonight. The republican Presidential nominee reached Oakland at 9:30 . m. (PWT) after an overnight train ride from Portland, Ore. Accompanied by Mrs. Dewey and other members of his party, the New Y.ork governor rode in a procession through downtown Oakland streets. as "Senator Morse," then waited a second before continuing, in tently watching his audience. When the crowd was slow in "catching on," Dewey wise cracked: "I have never seen so many people so slow on the up take. After all, you are going to elect him, aren't you?" A thunderous roar was the answer as the crowd agreed on the point, simultaneously coming to as to what Dewey had said. Tribute to Morse Dewey referred to Morse as a man" who will be a fine, able- brilliant addition to the Uniteo States senate." (In Portland Dewey forecast the election both Morse and Sen. Guy Cordon . to the senate from Oregon.) When this country gets an ad ministration that believes in the future, one also that believes in a forward-looking philosophy, there will be no limits to its progress. Dewey said here, going on to say a complete change to republican ism is necessary in the administra tion, as well as in congress and the senate. When that change takes place, there will come "one of the finest, biggest, most thorough house cleanings in the history of the country," Dewey told the local crowd. By putting in those lead ers who believe and practice a forward-looking program, "the dismal New Deal and all the regi mentation can be forgotten," he added. The magnificant future of the great western country has become clearer and clearer with each mile traveled through it, Dewey com mented, adding: "It is good to see this great western section which the New Deal has not even been able to start to spoil." Gifts Presented One of the Lane county-grown , orchids, 'an extra large one, was presented Mrs. Dewey by Mrs. , W. R. Curry, Lane county repub- ; lican central committee vice-! chairman ;and a box of fresh fruit ( was given Governor Dewey by James A.
