| Description: | MS President Harry S. Truman speaking to indoor rally during Presidential campaign: "Today the Democratic Party is the party of the American people. It was the party of the people under Jefferson & Jackson. It was the party of the people under Wilson & Franklin Roosevelt. Today we have a Democratic party to express the will of the American people to move forward under liberty, yielding neither to communism nor to reaction. Today the Democratic party stands before the country a living force for peace & freedom. Today we are rallying our forces for the greatest struggle in our history. In that struggle, I ask your support." Cut to MSs two young white women walking with donkey outfitted with Dewey gear. | |
