Woodson seems to have written a book, judging from this citation: Woodson, Urey (1939). 'The First New Dealer'. Louisville, Kentucky: The Standard Press. (at Google Books it is listed as: The First New Dealer, William Goebel: His Origin, Ambitions, Achievements, His Assassination, Loss to the State and Nation; the Story of A Great Crime, By Urey Woodson] Woodson, Urey (1859-1939) — of Owensboro, Daviess County, Ky. Democrat. Newspaper editor and publisher; Kentucky railroad commissioner, 1891-95; member of Democratic National Committee from Kentucky, 1896-1912, 1916-18, 1924-28; delegate to Democratic National Convention from Kentucky, 1932. Presbyterian. Interment at Elmwood Cemetery, Owensboro, Ky. politicalgraveyard.com/bio/woodside-woodville.html#S9Q1ASTH3

I suspect that this was taken at the Democratic National convention of 1912, but I'll need to do more work to confirm that.

I started a Wikipedia entry: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urey_Woodson

Another Bain/LOC photo of Urey Woodson at the 1912 Democratic Convention, in Baltimore:

The Democratic National Convention of 1912 ran from June 25 to July 2, 1912. The official report can be read online at the Internet Archive.

First stab at identification: 1) Walsh 2) Bryan is certainly William Jennings Bryan 3) Foss, Massachusetts Governor Eugene Foss 4)O'Gorman, New York Senator James Aloysius O'Gorman 5) Pomerene For Pomerene the obvious choice to be with these other prominent Democratic Party men of the era would be Ohio Senator Atlee Pomerene, but the fellow on the end doesn't look much like Senator Pomerene's photo on the Senate website

Frog, click on Pomerene tag to see another photo of him.

Okay, I'm going to say the man at the right here IS Senator Atlee Pomerene. Compare with www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/2162671759/ where he is clearly labeled by name, and Photo here. Clearly not the same person as on the Senate website photo. (Yes, beards can be shaved, and people age-- but the facial features simply don't match; note for example the drastically different eyebrows.) I'll say the Senate website for some reason has a photo of the wrong gentleman.

This was taken outside the Baltimore Armory. The occasion was the 1912 Democratic National Convention. At least two of the men are sporting delegate badges on their lapels, as is the gent in the background. The straw boater worn by the gent in the background was also characteristic of many attending the convention. www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/3239319120/

lifeasdaddy: Thanks again! We'll add this updated information to our source data.

Senator John Worth Kern of Indiana, Democratic nominee for Vice President in 1908. See bioguide.congress.gov/scripts/biodisplay.pl?index=k000132 Portrait looks a match. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Jennings_Bryan was the Democratic nominee for President in 1908 (and 1896 and 1900) The newspaper headline begins "Gov. Wilson" and has a picture that looks like Woodrow Wilson. My guess is that this is during the 1912 presidential campaign, perhaps at the Democratic convention.

swanq: Thanks for identifying Kern & Bryan more completely. We'll fix our source data and then reload the more complete description.

swanq - you are right. The building behind them is Baltimore's Fifth Regiment Armory, and Senator Kern is wearing a Delegate badge on his lapel. So it's the 1912 DNC.
