THOMAS EDMUND DEWEY (b. March 24, 1902, Owosso, Mich., U.S.--d. March 16, 1971, Bal Harbour, Fla.), vigorous U.S. prosecuting attorney whose successful racket-busting career won him three terms as governor of New York (1943-55). A long-time Republican leader, he was his party's presidential nominee in 1944 and 1948 but lost in both elections.

Dewey graduated from the University of Michigan in 1923 and received his law degree from Columbia University in 1925. Admitted to the New York bar in 1926, Dewey launched his government career five years later as chief assistant to the U.S. attorney for the southern district of the state. Between 1935 and 1937 he garnered national attention as special prosecutor in an investigation of organized crime in New York; he obtained 72 convictions out of 73 prosecutions of long-established racketeers. Elected district attorney in 1937, Dewey continued to impress the electorate with his legal acumen and with his personal drive and integrity.

Although unsuccessful in his first bid for governor (1938), Dewey was elected for three successive terms beginning in 1942. In office he earned a reputation for political moderation and administrative efficiency, putting the state on a pay-as-you-go basis for capital building, reorganizing departments, and establishing the first state agency to eliminate discrimination in employment.

As Republican nominee for president in 1944, Dewey was neither expected nor able to overcome the enormous wartime prestige of the incumbent, President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The pollsters flatly predicted victory for his candidacy in 1948, however, though the political picture was confused by the entrance of two minority extremist factions--the Progressives and the States' Rights (Dixiecrat) Party. Waging a noncommittal campaign purposely designed to avoid offending any segment of the electorate, Dewey was unexpectedly defeated by President Harry S. Truman, who surprisingly retained the loyalty of both farm and labour circles.

As a leader of the eastern Republicans at the 1952 national convention, he played a key role in the nominations of General Dwight D. Eisenhower for president and Senator Richard M. Nixon for vice president. At the end of his third term as governor (1955), Dewey returned to a lucrative private law practice. He remained a close adviser to Republican administrations but thought his age precluded acceptance of an offer by President Nixon in 1968 to serve as chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court.
