President Harry S. Truman is shown speaking from the train to a crowd at Helper, Utah. He is working his way back eastward after a vigorous campaign through the west for Illinois Governor Adlai Stevenson.

Eisenhower. He asked how the General could be elected "with the crew he has got around him" and it's "terrible record."
