A Thursday, May 20, 1948, Oregonian article, "Dewey Urges Fall 40 Million for McNary Dam," by Al McCready, described New York Gov. Thomas E. Dewey's presidential campaigning in Oregon. The article includes:
--"Dewey was jovial and confident of victory as he spoke in Newberg, McMinnville, Sheridan, Dallas, Independence and Salem on his final bus tour before Friday's election.
--"In McMinnville, the governor was made an honorary member of the Linfield college Press club and received a bulky bag of Yamhill county walnuts."
