The Public Record
Harry S. Truman was the 33rd President of the United States, serving from April 12, 1945, to January 20, 1953. A member of the Democratic Party, he assumed the presidency after the death of Franklin D. Roosevelt. Truman is known for his decisive leadership during the final months of World War II, including the controversial decision to use atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which contributed to Japan's surrender. He also played a significant role in the early stages of the Cold War, implementing the Truman Doctrine to contain communism and establishing NATO.
That Republican outfit went to Philadelphia and wrote a platform, and that platform was the most hypocritical document that ever was written; and I called them back to Washington to see whether they meant what they said in their platform…
The Republicans in power first tried to strip the workingman of the protection of his labor unions, and then they led him into the worst depression in history.
They will do it all under the hypocritical cloak of 'correcting abuses' in our labor laws.
This year, Lackawanna County ought to be firmly in the Democratic column from top to bottom.
You deserve to have a Congressman who will vote for you, and not against you.
They won't do anything because their 'big business bosses' won't let them.
I wanted to see our country admit its fair share of these helpless victims.
This order shall take effect as to the several positions as of the first pay period commencing after the date hereof.
I certainly appreciate the cordial introduction and support of Miss Bankhead.
I, Harry S. Truman,President of the United States of America, do declare and proclaim:
Their candidate for President is the chief prosecutor against the New Deal.
The Republican politicians never have liked the New Deal, and they would like to get rid of it--repeal it--put it out of existence.
That on and after October 21, 1948, the conditions specified in sections 9(b) and 1(e) of the aforementioned Title 17 of the United States Code will exist and will be fulfilled in respect of the citizens of the Republic of the Philippines
For myself, and for the Democratic Party, I completely reject the idea that we should 'eliminate' the New Deal.
It is not the hand that signs the laws that holds the destiny of America. It is the hand that casts the ballot.
