Truman opens campaign tonight
Lamar, Missouri (UP) –
The Democratic Party launches its active campaign for a fourth term tonight when its vice-presidential candidate, Senator Harry S. Truman, broadcasts to the nation from this little town of his birth.
All of Pittsburgh’s radio stations will carry the address at 10:30 p.m. ET.
Senator Truman said his address would be filled with “facts – which include plenty of reasons why the Democrats should be reelected.”
The occasion was Senator Truman’s official acceptance of his nomination as President Roosevelt’s running mate.
