Dewey Leads GOP Prospects as Garner Seen as Roosevelt Rival
Frank Parker Stockbridge, veteran observer, says Thomas Dewey appears strongest for the Republican nomination in 1940. He notes Garner could aid Roosevelt’s bid if Roosevelt seeks a third term, while Vandenberg Taft and other senators threaten Dewey’s edge. Stockbridge predicts a late June or July convention with Joseph Martin as permanent chair, and warns of possible deadlock and a dark horse scenario. He recalls his career, from Buffalo Express to the New York Globe and beyond, and notes carelessness in hunting fatalities being prosecuted in Nova Scotia.
