Remarks by Governor Dewey Conceding the Presidential Election
November 8, 1944
Delivered at Hotel Roosevelt, Washington, DC
It is clear that Mr. Roosevelt has been reelected for a fourth term, and every good American will wholeheartedly accept the will of the people.
I extend to President Roosevelt my hearty congratulations and my earnest hope that his next term will see speedy victory in the war, the establishment of lasting peace and the restoration of tranquility among our peoples.
I am deeply grateful for the confidence expressed by so many million Americans for their labors in the campaign.
The Republican Party emerges from the election revitalized and a great force for the good of the country and for the preservation of free government in America.
I am confident that all Americans will join me in a devout hope that in the years ahead Divine Providence will guide and protect the President of the United States.
