To understand the humor you have to know a little history. After the election in 1948 the Chicago paper mistakenly said Dewey had won over Truman which was not the case. Below is a copy of the original photo of Truman holding the paper after the election. This might clarify the humor of the photo.

For some reason I thought I had seen this topic before and didn't open it, but this was really funny since I knew about the whole 'misprint' deal...

That's greatness, gotta think outside the box for that one...
