Truman spoke seven times in Indiana on October 16. At 9:10 am in Hammond, Indiana, Truman spoke in support of his political party, the Democrats. He told the people that he supported an increase in minimum wage, but the Republicans were against the increase. Truman sympathized with the people and the struggle of the American family to get by with higher prices and low wages. He again and again urged the people to vote and to vote Democrat.
At 10:45 am in North Judson, Indiana, Truman talked about the Republicans continued platform that was against the soil conservation program and compensation for farmers who follow the programs. Again he urged people to vote and vote Democrat.
At 11:43 Truman gave a speech at Logansport, Indiana. He focused on the Democratic Party's policies that were for the worker because the town was a railroad town. He explained that Democrats supported the working class and in turn wanted the workers votes.
