WASHINGTON, (AP)- Senator Bricker (R-Ohio) predicted Saturday that Gov. Thomas E. Dewey will win the Presidency in the November election "by a tremendous majority."
His forecast 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 President Roosevelt again was re-elected, told a reporter on a brief visit to Washington that "all the signs are different now."
"Unless something mighty unexpected happens, Governor Dewey is going to win this race by a tremendous majority," Ohio Senator said, adding:
"I think the results are pretty well set already."
Turner told a news conference the Truman-Barkley clubs which he heads are going to supply some of the work that will be needed to help elect Mr. Truman.
He said clubs have been formed in Minnesota and the District of Columbia and are being set up in Georgia, Kentucky, Missouri, Oklahoma and Michigan.
Turner disclosed that Mr. Truman has a tentative date for two days of campaigning in Oklahoma some time between Sept. 27 and Oct. 3. This may be part of a southern or southwestern swing made by the President, he said.
Henry Wallace takes his third party bid to Virginia for meetings in Richmond and Norfolk.
Bricker said he is confident his home state of Ohio will give the Dewey-Warren ticket a majority of from 250,000 to 500,000.
