s mint coin acts 1782 1792 he spent the next 10 years as a successful farmer in the golden age of american agriculture he became more confident and gregarious than he had ever been before doing the work into which he had been born he joined mike pendergast s kansas city tenth ward democratic club and the masons he began to actively participate in politics and on his father s death in 1914 he succeeded him as road overseer and in 1915 he became the grandview postmaster in 1917 just before the united states entered world war i he enlisted in the u s army training at camp doniphan in oklahoma he returned to missouri and was elected first lieutenant by the men of missouri s second field artillery truman was commissioned a captain and on march 30 1918 he sailed for france in command of battery d the dizzy d of the 129th field artillery 35th division american expeditionary force taming his unit they distinguished themselves in the battles of saint mihiel and argonne and truman never lost a man he discovered he had talents as a leader and gained the esteem and affection of his men in april 1919 he returned home a major and a hero and of june 28th he married bess wallace his childhood sweetheart the couple had one daughter mary margaret truman who was born in 1924 in the fall of 1919 he established a men s clothing store in kansas city with a partner eddie jacobson an army buddy from training camp the dizzy d veterans were big customers and the store did a booming business after the war but when the postwar depression hit farm prices fell sharply and the business failed finally closing in 1922 left with heavy debts truman refused to declare bankruptcy and eventually repaid his creditors encouraged by jim pendergast who was mike s son and also an army friend truman turned to politics he entered a four way democratic primary for an eastern jackson county judgeship and based on his war record and his missouri background he won the primary and the general election he was sworn into his first public office in january 1923 he failed to win reelection in 1924 and spent the next two years selling automotive club memberships and entered into a banking venture he was elected the presiding judge of the court two years later and reelected to that post in 1930 these positions were administrative rather than judicial and they enabled truman to earn the respect of his constituents by being an honest official firing any man who failed to do an honest job in 1929 mike pendergast had died and his two sons jim and tom replaced him as head of the kansas city democratic political machine by 1934 the pendergast machine was a tool for gangsters promoting vice rings bootlegging bribes gambling and murder truman was eager to move higher in politics and when tom pendergast approached him in 1934 to run for the u s senate he accepted truman campaigned vigorously capitalizing on the popularity of president roosevelt and his own political record truman soundly defeated his republican opponent but not without help from the pendergast machine truman was sworn in as the junior senator from missouri on january 3 1935 he arrived in washington facing the resentment of fellow senators regarding his association with the pendergast machine the white house was already investigating the pendergasts and roosevelt felt truman would probably be implicated when the pendergast investigation ended it revealed widespread corruption and brutality but it failed to implicate truman in a single act of wrongdoing pendergast was sent to prison for income tax evasion and truman was criticized for his ties with the organization despite his pendergast ties truman won an unexpected reelection in 1940 and received a standing ovation when he returned to the senate he was named the head of an investigation committee into the waste and confusion in the defense program and the truman committee put him on the national stage roosevelt s health was a great concern to party leaders who assumed he would fun for a fourth term they were eager to find a vice president who would be more appealing to mainstream voters and who would not be as liberal as the current vice president henry a wallace who offended many conservative leaders of the democratic party roosevelt persuaded truman to run with him and truman defeated wallace for the nomination on the second ballot at the democratic national convention the ticket was overwhelmingly elected and truman took the oath of office as vice president on january 20 1945 vice president harry s truman plays the piano with actress lauren bacall atop at the national press club canteen truman saw very little of the president after the inauguration roosevelt left washington for the yalta conference and when he returned in march he met with truman only two times for short meetings and had not informed him abut the conduct of the war or the plans for peace thirteen days later on april 12 1945 truman was summoned to the white house where eleanor roosevelt told him harry the president is dead the first page of this document is a memorandum from the secretary of war henry stimson asking for truman s permission to issue the press release announcing the dropping of the atomic bomb on hiroshima japan the second page contains truman s handwritten response granting permission but asking that the release be made no sooner than august 2 after the conclusion of the potsdam conference courtesy of national archives and records administration truman faced the awesome task of president by dealing with the problems as they emerged his first month largely devoted to briefings by roosevelt s aides when victory in europe seemed certain he insisted on the unconditional german surrender on may 8 1945 his 61st birthday he proclaimed victory in europe day v e day he continued to carry out roosevelt s policies with the establishment of the united nations and attended the founding conference in late april when japan vowed to continue fighting after germany surrendered he authorized the atomic bombing of hiroshima on august 6 1945 and nagasaki on august 8 1945 bringing the war to an end quickly by the president of the united states of america a proclamation the allied armies through sacrifice and devotion and with god s help have wrung from germany a final and unconditional surrender the western world has been freed of the evil forces which for five years and longer have imprisoned the bodies and broken the lives of millions upon millions of free born men they have violated their churches destroyed their homes corrupted their children and murdered their loved ones our armies of liberation have restored freedom to these suffering peoples whose spirit and will the oppressors could never enslave much remains to be done the victory won in the west must now be won in the east the whole world must be cleansed of the evil from which half the world has been freed united the peace loving nations have demonstrated in the west that their arms are stronger by far than the might of dictators or the tyranny of military cliques that once called us soft and weak the power of our peoples to defend themselves against all enemies will be proved in the pacific war as it has been proved in europe for the triumph of spirit and of arms which we have won and for its promise to peoples everywhere who join us in the love of freedom it is fitting that we as a nation give thanks to almighty god who has strengthened us and given us the victory now therefore i harry s truman president of the united states of america do hereby appoint sunday may 13 1945 to be a day of prayer i call upon the people of the united states whatever their faith to unite in offering joyful thanks to god for the victory we have won and to pray that he will support us to the end of our present struggle and guide us into the way of peace i also call upon my countrymen to dedicate this day of prayer to the memory of those who have given their lives to make possible our victory in witness whereof i have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the united states of america to be affixed
