1944 Presidential Campaign, 1939-1944
While serving in the Pacific during World War II Stassen was promoted by a group of supporters at home as a Republican presidential candidate for the 1944 election. A resolution passed by the Minnesota Republican State Central Committee (November 22, 1943) pledged its support for an effort to obtain the Republican presidential nomination for Stassen. The Minnesota Republican Volunteer Stassen for President Association was organized within the Republican State Central Committee and a second group called the Stassen-for-President Committee, chaired by the Republican State Central Committee chairman R.C. Radabaugh, worked to garner local and national support for Stassen. Stassen was to be nominated at the 1944 Republican National Convention by Minnesota Senator Joseph H. Ball but due to overwhelming support for Thomas Dewey the Minnesota delegation decided not to place Stassen's name as a nominee.
The bulk of these files were kept by Earl Christmas and relate to his management of the campaign's publicity. Additional material related to Stassen and the 1944 Presidential campaign may be found in the Main subject files and Campaign files of the Minnesota Republican State Central Committee papers in the Minnesota Historical Society manuscript collections.

1948 Presidential Campaign, 1939, 1945-1948
This section documents the central issues and major events of the campaign, as well as its organizational structure and administration. The campaign employed what was considered at the time a new strategy consisting of heavy campaigning and a stress on winning primaries rather than reliance on the support of party leaders. The first item in this section is a photocopied article published in Minnesota History, entitled " 'A Major Contender': Harold Stassen and the Politics of American Presidential Nominations," by Alec Kirby. Researchers are referred to this article for a thorough overview of the campaign.
