GOP Plans To Keep Opposition Guessing In 1944 Campaign
Indianapolis August 7 Republican National Chairman Herbert Brownell Jr said full details of the 1944 GOP campaign would not be revealed until three months before polling. He described a brass campaign to align state organizations with presidential machinery and would convene closed conferences with Indiana leaders before moving to Louisville for further talks. Brownell predicted Dewey would oppose personal diplomacy and one man government if elected, and would summon top brains to tackle peace problems. He declined to map out Dewey Bricker itineraries, promising that voters would know the plans months before election day.
