Harry Truman: “My dear Governor Dewey: I deeply appreciate your message of congratulations.”

The Constitution is a living force--it is a growing thing.

It was suggested, and I decided that it wouldn't serve any good purpose, it would be just a piece of demagoguery; and that is what it turned out to be.

I am happy to join with you in the recognition of the 70th Anniversary of the establishment of the Federal Civil Service merit system.
