Gov. Thomas Dewey is support
ed by a “prize group of Isola
tionists and Rabble Rousers,”
who have “bitterly fought” the
nation’s preparations for and
participation in the war.”
Ickes told an audience of film
notables and others recently that
the republican presidential, candi
date is attempting to lead into
the White House a Trojan horse
containing “Isolationists.”

wobble from side to side from
day to day, is bound to be influ
enced by the people who are sup
porting him.”
