''Chicago Daily Tribune'' newspaper dated November 3, 1948 headlined ''G.O.P. WINS WHITE HOUSE!'' - the erroneous headline published in the afternoon after their first mishap of ''Dewey Defeats Truman'' in the morning. It wouldn't be until the next day when the Tribune finally called the 1948 Presidential election correctly, with Democrat Harry Truman as the President-elect.
Paper is the Final edition with the first section running 26pp. and the second section running 14pp. Paper has some toning and foxing, central fold, with some chipping as expected and a tape repair, but with no significant loss of paper.
Perhaps the most recognizable headline of the 20th century is that which appeared on the front page of this title and date--but an earlier edition. It read: "DEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN", made famous by the photo showing Harry S. Truman smiling and holding that famous newspaper.
This is the "Final" one star edition printed the very same day but slightly later. The editors saw fit to soften the phrasing a bit, still not aware of the true final outcome of the election, by proclaiming: "G.O.P. WINS WHITE HOUSE!"
The text in the last column on the front page begins: "Dewey and Warren swept the country in the Presidential election yesterday. The early returns indicated that the Republican ticket had won by an overwhelming majority of electoral votes. President Truman went down to defeat with few states outside of the south..." with more.
This edition is actually much rarer than the more famous headline and is quite collectible.
