Truman Intends
To Stump for
Demo Candidate ,
By Earnest B. Vaccaro
KEY WEST, Fla., (/P)—Presi
dent Truman settled down Satur
day at his favorite camp to limber
up for the 1952 political cham
pionship fight.
He intends to stump the coun
try virtually state by state, in
this year’s election campaigns,
either as a candidate for re-elec
tion, or the champion of the Dem
ocratic Party’s national and con
gressional candidates.
The President, who flew here
from Washington Friday, took to
the beach for a swim in the Atlan
tic and a sunbath at the enlisted
men’s beach of this Naval sub
marine station.
*
He plans to stay here for three
weeks, unless there should be a
change for the worse in the con
dition erf Mrs. David W. Wallace,
Mrs. Truman’s 89-year-old mother
who is seriously ill at Blair House
in Washington.
Truman’s close associates think
he definitely will announce his
candidacy for re-election, or his
intention to give up the presi
dency, in an important political
speech in Washington March 29,
the day after his return to Wash
ington.
The occasion will be the $100
a-p late Democratic Jefferson
Jackson dinner in the National
Guard armory.
