Administrative Information
Former president Harry S. Truman discusses the 1940 Senate Democratic primary election, which was a three way race between the governor of Missouri (Lloyd Stark), (Maurice) Milligan, and Truman. Truman explains that it was difficult to overcome the governor's 4000 patronage jobs, but he traveled across the state trying to convince people that he was best positioned to help Missouri because he had gained some seniority in the Senate. He won that race by about 8800 votes.
