Please send any relevant text that mentions Hubert Humphrey (the mayor of Minneapolis then).

It's for the article [[Hubert Humphrey]]. He gave a speech at the Democratic National Convention in 1948 in support of a civil rights platform. The platform was adopted, and its widely considered to have swung the presidential election that year in Harry Truman's favor.

A preview of the title I am able to access goes: "Colored Voters Backed Truman: Majority Found Giving Support To Democratic Party Nominees Truman's Stand On Civil Rights Seen As One Factor In..."

:I have access to the full thing as an image via ProQuest, so I looked through it and transcribed it manually; this is the chunk I found that mentions Humphrey: {{blockquote|text=An estimated 70% of the Negro vote in Minnesota went for Truman for President and helped elect Minneapolis Mayor Hubert H. Humphrey, civil rights advocate, U. S. senator over Joseph H. Ball, incumbent. <p> Minnesota Negroes concentrated in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul and Duluth, as late as March were found to be 54% in favor of Wallace and only 22% for Truman.</p> <p> This trend changed drastically in July after Hubert H. Humphrey's fight for a strong civil rights plank at the Democratic convention and the subsequent formation of the Dixiecrat party.</p> <p> A poll made in August revealed that the Negro voters had left Wallace camp with 68% of those questioned favoring Truman.</p> <p> St. Paul Negroes helped elect 32-year-old Eugene McCarthy, a young liberal of the Humphrey type, to congress. Minneapolis Negroes of the third district joined in electing Roy Wier, a labor leader, to congress. MacKinnon, his opponent, had held himself aloof from the Negro voters.</p>}} [[User:Sollyucko|Solomon Ucko]] ([[User talk:Sollyucko|talk]]) 06:36, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

::May I ask whether the specific author is credited, and whether you have access to the full title of the paper (what comes after "Factor In")? Thank you very much!

:::No, I do not see a specific author credited.

:::Yes; the end of the title is "Election Results".

:::Title: Colored Voters Backed Truman

:::Sub-title: Majority Found Giving Support To Democratic Party Nominees

:::Sub-sub-title: Truman's Stand On Civil Rights Seen As One Factor In Election Results

:::Here's some more miscellaneous bibliographic information in case it's helpful: The dateline says "WASHINGTON, D. C." The top of the page says "Portsmouth Edition" and "SECOND SECTION". The publisher is "Norfolk Journal & Guide" and the place of publication is Norfolk, Va. The ProQuest document ID is 567926855, the URL is https://www.proquest.com/historical-newspapers/colored-voters-backed-truman/docview/567926855/se-2, and the entry was last updated 2010-07-12; it's in the "ProQuest Historical Newspapers: Black Newspaper Collection" and "ProQuest Historical Newspapers: Norfolk Journal and Guide (1921-2003)" collections. The story also appeared on pages 11 and D15 of the same issue; I don't know why they included it thrice.
