    The 1912 Progressive Party Convention, that nominated Teddy Roosevelt for President and Governor Hiram Johnson of California for Vice President, was held at the same venue, in August.

    In this photo of some of the same people, they are identified as being members of a Pennsylvania delegation, so Bain's fact checking left something to be desired: www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/2163942622/in/p...

    What the hell do you do at a Moose convention - let alone a Bull Moose convention? Seriously, does anyone know? ( an ignorant Australian)

    Thanks wareninmana, I learnt a lot! The quote below explains why there are so many women in the photo: "It may seem strange or ironic that women played such an important role in a party nicknamed the "Bull Moose Party," but the Progressive or Bull Moose Party welcomed women into leadership positions as no major party had before. The high status of women in the Progressive Party reflected the party's strong advocacy of women's suffrage and women's rights, and the emphasis that Theodore Roosevelt, the party's presidential candidate in 1912, gave to women's issues. Up to this time, no male of Theodore Roosevelt's prominence and popularity had endorsed women's suffrage, and in 1912 neither the Republican candidate, President William Howard Taft, running for reelection, or Democrat Woodrow Wilson, endorsed women's suffrage on the national level. In 1912 women had the vote in several Western states, but in no state east of the Mississippi River." www.theodoreroosevelt.org/life/bullmoose.htm

    By the way, it was New Zealand who first gave women the vote in the previous century, followed by my home state, South Australia. See below: "New Zealand in 1893 is considered the first major nation to give all women the right to vote, however, some sub-national entities had earlier given certain women voting rights." "1894 South Australia grants universal suffrage, extending the franchise to all women (property-owners could vote in local elections from 1861), the first in Australia to do so. Women are also granted the right to stand for parliament, making South Australia the first in the world to do so." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_women's_suffrage
