GOP, industry rapped
Portland, Oregon –
Branding the Republican Party as “Old Guard Isolationist,” and big industry as “labor haters,” Senator Claude Pepper (D-FL) yesterday warned a s all group of listeners at the Portland Auditorium that lasting peace and security could come only with the reelection of President Roosevelt.
Editorial: The Ozarks can have him
No candidate for such a high office as President of the United States can be responsible for the conduct of all of his camp followers.
President Roosevelt has been handicapped by zealots, crackpots and political phonies and demagogues.
Governor Thomas E. Dewey, as the Republican nominee for President, is “blessed” with some of the same stripe.
One of these is Congressmen Dewey Short of Missouri, who calls himself the “hillbilly from the Ozarks.”
Mr. Short last Saturday delivered a speech here to inaugurate the Republican campaign in Pennsylvania. The speech was utterly devoid of persuasive and logical arguments on behalf of the Republican ticket. It was an abusive, offensive diatribe, replete with invective and vicious innuendo.
This election will be determined by public judgment of the personal abilities of the rival candidates and their basic politics and intentions, as revealed by their own words and records.
There are ample issues to be debated. They can be defeated logically and clearly.
The Republican State Committee conferred no favor on the voters of Pittsburgh – and won no votes for its cause – when it brought Mr. Short here Saturday.
Both camps have their Dewey Shorts. The less we hear of them, the better it will be for the candidates, for the parties, for the country.

Allen: Temperature high on coast but Dewey’s on the way
By Gracie Allen
Los Angeles, California –
Well, you Easterners and Middle Westerners can stop complaining about your heat.
Actual photographs of thermometers here in Los Angeles prove that the official temperature last Friday reached 104, with some spots recording 110 degrees. In fact, it got so hot that many were broken before they could be photographed.
It certainly looked funny to see the Chamber of Commerce running around with their little hammers.
Local Republicans are hoping it will cool off before Dewey gets here on his campaign tour.
If not, the weather and Mr. Dewey will make headlines together. And how would that look – “Dewey in California Seeking Voters – Official Forecast 104.”
