Dewey will win the Presidency in the No- vember election “by a tremendous majority.” His forecast contrasted with a more cautious one by Gov. Roy Turner of Oklahoma that President Truman will win in a campaign in which Turner said “there is work to be done.” Bricker, who was Dewey’s running mate in 1944 when the late Presi- dent Roosevelt again was reelected, told a reporter on a brief visit to Washington that “all the signs are August 5 to convalesce from an illness that had confined him to his Washington home for several months.
