Being Swept Along

News articles announced the crowds and festivities surrounding the President's train arrival.

Here's one of them, from Boston, October 27th, 1948:

It was estimated that 20,000 people waited to welcome the President at South Station and a crowd estimated at 250,000 cheered him as he rode along the streets to the Hotel Statler.

Greetings of "Hello Harry" were shouted by the throng and the President stood and waved to the crowds as the cars swept along.
