CANDIDATE,
GOVERNOR
Reverses Former Decision
to Step Down - Pri
maries in Two Slates
(By Associated Press)
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New
York was back in the political
arena today as immediate attention
focused on primary elections in
Nevada and Utah.
In Nevada, veteran Senator Pat
McCarran is being challenged for the
Democratic nomination by a form
er bomber pilot. In Utah, the chief
attraction is a Republican scrap
for the Senate nomination.
Not unexpectedly, Dewey announc
ed last night that he has reversed
his earlier decision and will run 1
for a third term as Governor. He is
the best GOP vote-getter in the
state and party leaders havte put
heavy pressure on him to cnange
his June 17 decision to step down.
Conventions Tomorrow
New York Democrats and Repub
licans meet in conventions tomorrow
and Thursday to select their import
ant Senate-Governor slates for the
November elections. Dewey was as
sured of nomination, probably on
Thursday.
The two-time Republican Presi
dential nominee said he had de
cided to run again because the De
mocrats "are morally unfit to pro
vide leadership to this state.”
September, final month for nom
inating, will see candidates chosen
for 11 U. S. Senate and 76 House
seats, plus 12 governorships.
In Nevada
In Nevada today it’s a two-man
race for the Democratic Senate
nomination, with McCarran, chair
man of the Senate Judiciary Com
mittee, believed to have the edge.
McCarran, 74, was opposed by
George Franklin, Jr., 3t-year-old
Las Vegas attorney, who flew 36!
bombing missions over Germany in
World War II.
In Utah
In Utah, Democratic Senator El
bert D. Thomas, chairman of the
Senate Labor Committee, had no,
opposition for renomination.
Republicans chose their Senate
nominee in a two-man race between
Wallace F. Bennett, former Presi
dent of the National Association of
Manufacturers, and Rue L. Clegg,
co-author of a State Labor Law pat
terned after the Taft-Hartley Act.
