Shivers' first task, ahead of his own reelection, was to take a conservative delegation to the Democratic National Convention. Stepping up his speaking schedule, Shivers used Harry Truman as his main target and asked Texans to give him "an uninstructed, unpledged and undaunted" delegation to the Democratic convention.
