Oceanside, California Rear Platform Speech 10:45 AM
Harry S. Truman wrote this speech for the people in the southern California area. The population in the Southern California area was growing and this caused a water shortage. The solution to the water and housing problems was brought to Congress again and still nothing was done. Truman said that the democrats were for the people, and if elected into office, the problems of the people would be heard. Democrats would hear the voice of Southern California and solve the water shortage. Truman urged the people of Southern California to vote a straight Democratic ticket.

Address at Phoenix, Arizona Rear Platform speech--10:45 PM
Harry S. Truman said, "listening to this speech shows that you care about your government and that you are interested in what is going to happen to your country."
Truman thought that Carl Hayden, Ernest McFarland, and John Murdock would really improve the country, and the state of Arizona would be proud to have them represent their state. He stated that the results of this election would have a personal effect on everybody. Truman thought the best part about this government was that the people have the advantage of saying how the country should be run. Truman also thought that the Democratic party had done more then any other political party. So the big purpose of this speech was to help elect the Democratic party in both Congress and the presidency, so that Harry S. Truman could make the country run even better and smoother.
