November 3, 1948; EXTRA POST, DEWEY. ELECTED PRESIDENT:

THIS WAS REPORTED TODAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1948:




Sometimes the Polls can be wrong; November 1948 the predominant pollsters, Gallup and Roper, both reported an impressive win for the presidential challenger, Thomas Dewey over incumbent President, Harry S. Truman; the above Headline was published in the early morning report, Nov. 3, 1948, in the Chicago  Daily Tribune.

( ET's note: This obviously did not happen, and the correct results were reported in a small town newspaper, along with Governor-elect Langlie in Washington State.)
