Harry Truman

All they wanted was to have somebody talk to them about the issues.

For my part, I intend to keep moving toward this goal with every ounce of strength and determination that I have.

So I went ahead and did what the President can do, unaided by the Congress.

The heart and soul of American foreign policy is peace.

I want you to promise that you will vote and that you will make sure that your neighbor votes, too.

Several States and municipalities have taken action on the recommendations of the Civil Rights Committee.

The Civil Rights Committee did more than repeat these great principles.

I want to correct that situation.

The Civil Rights Committee described the kind of freedom that comes when every American boy and girl has an equal chance for an education.

I do not believe that war is inevitable, and I shall make use of every honorable means to prevent it.

Senator Barkley has been working hard, making a terrific fight to help tell the people of this country the facts of life.

Help your neighbor. Help get him to the polls.

We Americans have a democratic way of acting when our freedoms are threatened.

We are winning because the American people are aroused.

Your President and your Democratic administration have scrupulously honored that pledge of bipartisan cooperation in foreign policy.

That is why it is so important that the Civil Rights Committee's report be studied widely.

This is a crusade for the people, and the way to win, is to win it with votes.

It is much harder to win the peace than it is to win a war.

I sincerely hope that every person within the hearing of my voice, who has the right to vote on November the 2d, will go and vote.

I hate communism, and because I have fought so much to prevent its spread, the Communists hate me.

I do hereby call upon the people of the United States to observe November 11, 1948, as Armistice Day by renewing their devotion to the cause of enduring peace;

I want that Taft-Hartley law repealed, and the best way to get it repealed is to elect a Democratic President and a Democratic Congress.

Republicans don't like me very well.

I direct that the flag of the United States be displayed on all Government buildings on that day.

Vote for the party that knows that the way to beat communism is by keeping this Nation strong and prosperous.
