Washington (UP) –
Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes today described Republican presidential nominee Thomas E. Dewey as “a Landon with a mustache” and said he hoped the GOP nominee would keep up his speaking tour.

Mr. Ickes said that he intended to make several campaign speeches and would pick Mr. Dewey’s Cabinet for him in a Pittsburgh address Sunday.
