Description
-
Black and white image of Thomas E. Dewey, campaigning for the Republican nomination for President at Pacific University in 1948. Dewey defeated, among others, Harold Stassens for the nomination that year, only to lose to Truman in the general election in November. Though perhaps most familiar to most as the loser of the 1948 election to Truman, Dewey came to prominence in his home state of New York in the mid 1930s, where as Special Prosecutor he mounted an ambitious campaign to bring down mob bosses and corrupt politicians.
