SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 21.
t) Greeted at the railroad sta
tion by Gev. 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
