Thanks! We'll fix the name in the source data and reload the description.

Another Bain/LOC photo of the mysterious Mr. Rossom. Or should it be Russom? or Rossum? Or is he playing Possum? Google seems never to have heard of the guy. The man to his left in this photo is of course Congressman H. D. Clayton of Alabama -- with or without a face:

www.123exp-biographies.com/t/00034146161/ is clearly the same guy as on the left. So this is John W. Davis, (April 13, 1873 — March 24, 1955), politician and lawyer. He was the Democratic Party nominee for President of the United States during the 1924 presidential election, losing to Republican candidate Calvin Coolidge. See also en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_W._Davis and bioguide.congress.gov/scripts/biodisplay.pl?index=D000121 Clayton is en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_De_Lamar_Clayton,_Jr. They worked together to pass the Clayton Anti-trust act.

swanq: Thanks for the additional details! When we update the source record, we will expand the descriptive information.
