Presidents

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. He attacked Senators Joseph McCarthy of Wisconsin, William Jenner of Indiana, James P. Kem of Missouri, and Robert A. Taft of Ohio, as men who have taken over GOP Presidential nominee Dwight D. Eisenhower. He asked how the General could be elected "with the crew he has got around him" and it's "terrible record."
