OCR Page 1 of 7Speech of Senator Harry S. Truman before
the State Democratic Convention, Jefferson
City, Missouri, on September 13, 1938.
TO BE RELEASED ON DELIVERY.
FELLOW DEMOCRATS:
I consider it an honor end a privilege to be
called upon to say a few words to this Convention.
We have been through one of our usual Missouri
Democratic Primaries where every one did all he could
for his candidate, just as he had a right to do. Of
course, the Republican press would be most happy to
see us continue our quarrels in November, but we are
not doing that in Missouri these days. We have a very
excellent ticket -- one that any Missourian should be
proud to support. It is going to be a pleasure for me
to do everything I possibly can to make the majority
in November so large that the Republicans will continue
to be as thoroughly discouraged as they have been in
past elections -- since that memorable one in 1932.
The Republicans have neither leader nor policy.
They know not if they are Hooverites or Landonites.
They have Glenn Frank on one limb and Vandenberg on
the other. They are against everything and for nothing
