Scope and content
California Governor Earl Warren, Republican Vice-Presidential candidate and future Supreme Court Chief Justice, greets an unidentified young supporter on October 14, 1948 during a campaign appearance in Tacoma. Prior to his selection as Thomas E. Dewey's running mate in the 1948 elections, Mr. Warren had been both a California district attorney and that state's Attorney General. He was the only person in California history to be elected to three successive terms as Governor; in 1946 he was unopposed in the general election, as he had won the nomination of the Democratic, the Republican, and the Progressive parties. The 1948 presidential election was the only election he ever lost. He resigned during his third term as Governor when he was appointed Chief Justice of the Supreme Court by President Eisenhower in 1953. ALBUM 2.
