WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.—|
The appearance of some kind of stop-Dewey movement seemed likely today. It probably will be an early development in the scramble for the 1048 Republican presidential nomination, Governor Thomas E. Dewey of New York is regarded by many observers as the front runner right now in the nomination race. That is because of his spectacu=~ lar showing in last November's elec tions in a state which casts more electoral votes than any other. All the country’s political magic 1s not confined in New York state. But in the past eight presidential elections, New York has failed only once to have & presidential candidate on the ticket of one major party or the other. Both New Yorkers I 1044 The state is a political power house. Ohio won both nominations in 1020 with Warren G. Harding and James M. Oox. Even then the Democrats went to New York for a vice presidential candidate, a young fellow named Franklin D. Roose velt, Republicans nominated Charles Evans Hughes for President In 10186. Democrats nominated John W. Davis in 1934 and the late Alfred E Smith in 1928. They were led in the next four campaigns by Mr, Roosevelt, and in 1944, Mr. Dewey was the Republican candidate, giv-

There is the further of his unpopularity with many of the vantage decreased somewhat during Christmas week with revelation that Senator-elect John W. Bricker of Ohio is willing to step aside in 1048 in favor of Senator Robert A. Taft, Mr. Taft evidently will not announce his candidacy until next summer. Both he and Mr. Dewey carefully dodge the question when it is presented. Only former Gover ner Harold E. Stassen of Minnesota has told the people frankly that he Nou like to have the White House Would Not Be Announced
All Washington assumes that both Mr. Dewey and Mr. Taft, and prob ably Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg, (R. Mich), would be readily available for the nomination and that Mr. Dewey and Mr. Taft actively will seek it. Governor Earl Warren
has presidential possibilities, A stop-Dewey movement would not be any publicly proclaimed undertaking. It would be discernible in evidence of co-operation among the other potential nominees. ‘In fact, Mr. Bricker's willingness to step aside for Mr. Taft might properly be interpreted as a closing of the midwestern ranks ‘against the governor of New York. However, neither Mr. Taft nor Mr. Dewey is likely to forget that they could have had the Republican nominations for themselves in 1940 if they had been willing at the national convention to combine forces against Wendell L. Willkie. They couldn't agree on which one was to accept second place and the combination never came off,
