Thomas E. Dewey, Republican Presidential candidate, Mrs. Dewey and former Governor Arthur Langlie on "Victory Special." Governor Dewey remarked that his father had briefly worked on the old Tacoma Globe fifty years ago and that his uncle, Harry B. Dewey, was a Tacoma educator and later state superintendent of common schools in the early 1900's. As he did when 1940 Presidential candidate Wendell Willkie campaigned in Washington, Mr. Langlie accompanied the Republican nominee on the "special" trains. Congressman Thor Tollefson also was on board the 17-car Dewey Victory Special. (T. Times, 9-27-48, p. 1, T. Times, 9-28-48, p. 1) ALBUM 2.
