President Harry S Truman is running for election in his own right, having become president on the death of FDR. Little Jim and his parents are travelling on the Zephyr from Chicago, to visit his Mom's folks in downstate Illinois. At Galesburg, the Zephyr is halted because the "Whistlestop Special is coming through.. Although he doesn't intend to vote for Truman, Jim's Dad feels his son should see the President! Putting his son up on his shoulders, he walks over to where the crowd has gathered. Sure enough. On the rear platform of the Ferdnand Magellan, is the president, an aide and Mrs. Truman.
