Aboard Dewey Campaign
Train, Sept. 26 (U.R) Governor
Thomas E. Dewey called upon
the American people today to
elect him president in November
in order to restore integrity to
the White House."
The Republican presidential
nominee wound up a seven
speech coast-to-coast campaign
tour in Oklahoma City last night
with a charge that Integrity had
been lacking in the 12 years of
field as a mobile force no more
than 75,000 men . . . those are
the words of Gen. George C.
Marshall, chief of staff of the
U. S army.
"Dec. 7, 1941, found the army
with plans but not planes . . .
that statement was made in an
official report on Jan. 4 of this
year by Gen. H. H. Arnold, com
manding general of the army

In addition, Dewey recounted

Then, with an explanation
that his opponent has "made the

it is," Dewey took up, point by

Roosevelt's opening campaign
speech.
Recalling that Mr. Roosevelt

On the whole, Dewey con

of the Roosevelt administration,
"Mr. Roosevelt's record is des

"It is not one on which any

It was the fightingest speech
to date of the western campaign

Municipal Auditorium, was the
most boisterously responsive of
any along the 6700-mile route.
Dewey was confident that his

The New York governor spent

Roosevelt's opening campaign
