Nothing! He didn't have a middle name, per se. According to Truman himself, the initial was a way to honor both his grandfathers, Anderson Shipp Truman and Solomon Young.

Truman was not given a middle name, only the initial S. There is controversy over whether the period after the S should be included, or omitted, or if both forms are equally valid. Truman's own archived correspondence suggests that he regularly used the period when writing his name.

The "S" is not an abbreviation. Truman was given a middle initial, but not a middle name. Truman's parents chose "S" as his middle name to please both of his grandfathers, a common practice among the Scots-Irish. The "S" in Harry S. Truman refers to the names of both of his grandfathers, Anderson Shipp Truman and Solomon Young. In 1962, Truman told reporters that they should not use a period after the S, because it didn't stand for anything.

Truman apparently initiated the "period" controversy in 1962 when, perhaps in jest, he told newspapermen that the period should be omitted. In explanation he said that the "S" did not stand for any name but was a compromise between the names of his grandfathers, Anderson Shipp Truman and Solomon Young. ... Truman's name.
