Harry Truman

I do hereby call upon the people of the United States to observe October 27, 1948, as Navy Day by displaying the flag of the United States at their homes or other suitable places.

May the New Year bring peace to Israel and to its citizens the opportunity to dedicate themselves in tranquillity to furthering the prosperity of their country.

When you vote, West Virginia will have the necessary majority.

Don't let anybody tell you that the Democratic and the Republican Parties are just alike, and that it does not matter which party is in power.

There is just one issue, and that is the people against special privilege.

They began to undermine the farmer. They did everything they possibly could to take the farm price support program away from the farmer.

They accomplished their purpose. This Congress did not work for the welfare of the whole people; they worked for the benefit of the lobbyists and the special interests.

The issue is do the people rule the country or do the special interests rule the country.

Now listen to this very carefully.

Now, that's what NAM said in an ad.

I am happy to be here in the State of Kentucky, the State of my good friend and running-mate, America's most beloved Senator, Albert Barkley.

The issue in this election, as I have said time and again, is the people against special privilege.

And that's why I say it's time for a change--a change from the Republican Congress we've been suffering under for the last 2 years.

That's what I mean when I say that the Republican Party is acting for the benefit of big business and against the best interests of the people.

This campaign of plain facts and plain speaking is annoying the Republicans but it is pleasing the people.

And we are going to win that fight, because we are right.

In this campaign let us live up fully to the Red Feather slogan: 'Everybody gives--and everybody benefits.'

On this eve of another October--the Red Feather month more than a million volunteers are ready to begin their annual labor of love for their fellow men.

When the people of a country like ours-free to act selfishly in their own interest-choose to act unselfishly in the common interest--this is democracy at its best.

There never was a more vicious or a better organized campaign to mislead and deceive the American people.

My administration has been doing what it could to break up monopolies through the antitrust laws.

We need good low-priced low-rent housing.

Under this act, the railroads no longer have to worry about antitrust laws when they set rates.

You can always judge a man by the way he acts and not what he says.

I am very happy to meet you here in Tulsa this afternoon.
