I was going to say "What Party Rally with President Truman?", but a quick Google search confirmed your listing. The Liberal Party (active only in NY state) did in fact nominate Truman and actively campaigned for him. They did this for every Democrat between 1944 and 2000 with the exception of Jimmy Carter in 1980 (they went for John Anderson that year). They called it quits in 2002.

Did ABC not have any network programming on Thursdays during their first year of existence? That's an awfully short schedule for a network O&O, even for 1948. Of course, WNBT and WABD weren't much better.

Castleman and Podrazik, in The TV Schedule Book, give this
lineup for ABC Thursdays in the fall of 1948:

5:30 Singing Lady (Cartoon Teletales is given as Monday,
Wednesday, and Friday; Singing Lady Tuesday and
Thursday)
6 PM (Local)
7 PM News And Views
7:15 (Local)
8 PM Fashion Story
8:30 Critic-At-Large
9 PM ABC Feature Film
10 PM (Local)

Club Seven is listed as a Wednesday show, after having aired
on Thursdays in the summer of 1948.

Brooks and Marsh note that Fashion Story debuted Nov. 4, 1948,
and that Critic-At-Large moved from Wednesday to Thursday in
November as well. They also show Film Shorts airing 7:15-8 PM.
News And Views had debuted August 11, 1948.

Overall, you're a week ahead of the network.
