President Harry S. Truman with Chicago Daily Tribune Headline of "Dewey Defeats Truman"
President Harry S. Truman displaying the Chicago Daily Tribune newspaper with the headline "Dewey Defeats Truman". This event happened in St. Louis, Missouri, at the train station. Traveling with the President, Byron Rollins of the Associated Press lumbered to the back of the train, shot two pictures, unloaded them with an AP stringer, lumbered back to his car, and hit his berth with absolutely no thought of anything special except his first sleep in 20 hours.
