Roosevelt Accepts Nomination From West Coast Naval Base
President Roosevelt, returning from a secret cross country trip, accepted the Democratic nomination for a fourth term from an undisclosed Pacific coast naval base. He warned against entrusting the 1944 war effort to inexperienced hands and outlined plans for victory, international security, and veterans’ reintegration. He contrasted his stance with Governor Dewey and noted the war’s primacy over elections. Roosevelt outlined a four-year program and said new hands would have a chance to fulfill ideals after victory. He departed Washington July 13, toured 16 states, stopping at Hyde Park July 14 and briefly in Chicago July 15 to meet Democratic leaders.

Marines and Soldiers Win Beachheads on Guam
The navy announced that U S marines and assault troops stormed Guam with waves of support behind them in the first campaign to recapture the island from Japan. Beachhead operations began July 20 with carrier aircraft and Fifth Fleet support as battleships and destroyers bombarded defenses.
