A Good Ticket Nominated by Republicans in Chicago
The Republicans nominate Governor Thomas E. Dewey for President and Governor John W. Bricker for Vice President. Both men are comparatively young with strong records as executives. Dewey’s New York administration and Bricker’s Ohio leadership are cited as proof of effective governance. If they win their states in November they will be well positioned for Washington.
