Cleveland newspaper supports Dewey
Cleveland, Ohio (UP) –
The Cleveland Plain Dealer, one of the Midwest’s leading morning newspapers, today announced that it would support Governor Thomas E. Dewey of New York for President.
The Plain Dealer, which backed Wendell Willkie in the 1940 campaign, said that another term for President Roosevelt would bring on “a totalitarian socialist country.”
