Truman takes time out to register
Independence, Missouri (UP) – (Nov. 4)
Democratic vice-presidential candidate Harry S. Truman and Mrs. Truman dropped in to see the home folks on the Eastern Jackson County election board this afternoon and got their names back on the books so they can vote next Tuesday.
They had been so busy campaigning around the country that they hadn’t had time to register when the books were revamped last month.
Ed S. Carroll, chairman of the board, said:
We were in session getting the ballots arranged for the voting when they dropped in and we figured there was no need for a court order. We took care of them.
Under election laws in rural Jackson County, all voters are required to register before each presidential election.
