| | Truman, Harry S. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05 |
| | After a brief partnership in a haberdashery store, Truman turned to politics and, with support from the Democratic machine of Thomas J. Pendergast, was elected judge (1922–24) and president judge (1926–34) of Jackson co., Mo. He attended (1923–25) the Kansas City school of law. | | | But Truman embarked on a vigorous whistle-stop campaign across the country, blaming the Republican Congress for most of the nation’s ills and highlighting its inactivity by calling a special session of Congress, at which he urged the Republicans to enact into law their own moderately liberal party platform. | | | On the death (Apr. 12, 1945) of Roosevelt, Truman succeeded to the presidency. |

| | Truman was elected judge of the Jackson county court in 1922, failed to win reelection in 1924, became presiding judge of the court two years later, and was reelected in 1930. | | | Obviously, Truman was not so effective in domestic affairs as his predecessor, Franklin ROOSEVELT, had been in the 1930's, but Truman's opportunities were smaller. | | | Prodded by one of Truman's associates, Robert Hannegan, a St. Louis politician and chairman of the Democratic National Committee, Roosevelt persuaded Truman to run with him. |

| | Harry S. Truman |
| | Truman loyally supported Franklin D. Roosevelt and his New Deal policies, and in 1944 he was asked to replace Henry Wallace as his vice president. | | | A great admirer of Woodrow Wilson, Truman joined the Democratic Party and in 1922 was elected county judge (1922-24). | | | He went on to argue that the "stifling of the free expression of opinion is a long step toward totalitarianism." Congress overrode Truman's veto by large margins: House of Representatives (248-48) and the Senate (57-10) and the Internal Security Act became law in 1950. |
