Dewey Denies Candidacy for President at GOP Gala
New York Governor Thomas E. Dewey reiterated he is not a candidate for President and urged New York delegates to abstain from voting for him at any stage of the GOP convention. The remark came at the Waldorf Astoria gathering where Dewey was elected delegation chair among 95 delegates, with Taft supporters predicting at least 17 votes. Congress and party figures criticized executive power and compared actions to dictators, while Miss Eleanor Hanlon’s geography class and the R. J. Rayback history group prepared field trips and classroom readings using Newton’s works.
