These sound recordings were created in 1946, the bulk between May 4 and August 24, 1946. The recordings are pre-recorded and live radio broadcasts leading up to and including election day. The recordings consist of radio addresses from Beauford H. Jester covering issues such as taxes, healthcare, education, agriculture, old-age pensions, and veterans' affairs. A portion of the recordings are the People's Path radio program hosted by Kendall B.
