Truman Demo V. ?.
 Nominee

Harry s. Truman of Missouri won the nomination for Vice President last week at the Democratic conven- tion in Chicago. Here's the man who will be President Roosevelt's run ming mate;
 Harry S. (for nothing) Truman, so. was long an unknown, even al- ter he went to the United States senate. But his name became a household word through his chair manship of the Senate committee policing war spending.
 Washington observers say he is neither orator, scholar nor political glamor boy. He discIaims pretense to staltesmanship. When he went to Washington early in the Roosevelt administration he promised to do lots of listening and mighty little talking"
 He is neat, slender, trim. be- specialized, level-headed.
 A product of Kansas City's ill- famed Boss Pendergast machine, he shook off that label when he went to Washington. He is a selt-identi- fled 100 per cent o-Rooseyeltian conservative New Dealer
 Insiders insisted it was really Truman who had the nod from Roosevelt for second place on the ticket, despite the Presidents luke warm endorsement of Wallace. Southern Democrats, peeyed at Roos- evelt and Wallace, could feel they were winning a point by turning down Wallace. Too, doubtful Mis- souri might be swung to Roosevelt by Truman's presence on the ticket. Wallace's Iowa went to Willkie four years ago.
 Self-Educated
 Truman is a Baptist and a Mason. He was born on a Missouri farm May 8, 1884. He did not go beyond high school. but educated himself in law and became an avid reader.
 In World War 1 he was an artil- lery captain. He participated in the St. Mihiel and Meuse-Argonne of tenstves. Returning to Missouri he married childhood sweetheart They had one dacghter.
 At home, he worked at odd jobs, owned a haberdashery shop in Kan sas City. dabbled in county politics, supervised the family farm. Then he won a county judgeship.
 Beginning his second term in the Senate, he won fame about the time of Pearl Harbor by his jolting re- port charging waste and worse in millions of dollars in war contracts. He blasted the S1 year men, charged that the nations wealth was being poured into building an inferior air fleet and conflicting war preparations.
 His reputation as Senate watch dog won him a flood of congratHla- tory messages. But he most appre- ciated the remark his mother once made ito someone discussing his Sen ate career: That boy" she said. "couId blow the stralghtest row of corn in the county"
