Politics "Big Guns" Boom To Open 1952 Campaign
Dull, faded in imagery and contrast The 1952 presidential campaign gets its official sendoff as President Truman addresses a labor rally in Milwaukee, presidential candidate Stevenson another in Detroit and republican aspirant Dwight Eisenhower, the letter carriers association in New York. Excerpt from speeches. The battle lines are drawn and off they go Establish shot - President Truman arms stretched out, palms of his hands showing. President Truman address a Milwaukee Labor Rally; "Please don't misunderstand me, there s one thing that I'm in agreement with the Republicans about. It is time for a change but not the kind of change their thinking about. It's time for a change from the endless campaign of Republican opposition to progress. Don't be deceived, don't be deceived anything the Republicans may tell you this election year. Remember who they are and what they are. Remember their record. If you do that I have no doubt about how this election will come out. Then if this country, which we love so much, will be starting on a bright new chapter in history of progress for the good of all of us and for the good of the whole world. The congress will be firmly Democratic and our next President will be Adlai Stevenson".
