A Handsome Figure
The big, gray-haired Ohioan made a handsome figure as he stood smiling on the platform a defeated man in the quest for the fulfillment of his life's ambition. But he gave the howling delegates a great big smile, and genial as ever, posed for photographers while he waved to friends in the marching crowd.

Governor Dewey. Not more than three or four hundred of them showed up yesterday to hear the platform which their committee finally had wrestled into shape after long day and night hours of argument and compromise. When Sen. Robert A. Taft (R. 0), chairman of the resolutions committee, completed reading the long document in this sweltering stadium, Joseph W. Martin, permanent convention chairman, banged his gavel and invited all hands to shout “aye.” They did so and the statement of party policy for 1944 was adopted within 20 seconds of its presentation and with- | out debate or roll call.

Dewey“—before the del- | egates were launched on their quad- | | rennial parade of the standards | up and down and around the | stifling convention hall.

Picks Aids With Care
In each position his method of operation was identical. He surrounded himself with the most capable assistants he could find. He
assigned to each specific tasks and held him responsible for results. Ex-
taining full control in matters of policy, he left details to subordinates. To those who succeeded, he gave his full confidence and support. A few who could not make the grade he fired. Infinite care—the elimination of unessential issues — unassailable preparation of every item that had to be fought out—that is the approach which made Dewey's indictments almost the equivalent of convictions. In every aspect of his public life Dewey is as meticulous as in his preparation of cases when he was’ prosecutor. i
