    Cotinis: Thanks for making the connections between these images related to President Wilson's first inauguration. We will update the source data and reload the description.

    Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Where Fine Art Thrives, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

    I love all the people lined up actually on the capitol building. I'd like to see that happen next Tuesday. Ha!
  • Nilson Bazana said:
    Such a clear, well-preserved image. Just to imagine all the things that there were still to come in the great century ahead of them...

Oscar Straus at B. Cochran's [i.e., Cockran] (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  • Wystan said:
    The photo was taken at a reception for New York Bull Moose gubernatorial candidate Oscar Straus, held at the Port Washington, Long Island, home of Bull Moose congressional candidate (and former Congressman) Bourke Cockran, on September 28, 1912 -- a kick-off event for the fall campaign of the Bull Moose (Progressive) Party in Nassau County. Story in The New York Times, September 29, 1912: query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=9F04EFD9113AE6... Other Bain/LOC photos of the Lawn Fete for Oscar Straus:
  • Wystan said:
    LOC: Cockran's name is misspelled in your title, as well as in Bain's.

Taft Notification Committee (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  • Harry Angstrom said:
    NYTimes has good article on its website dated 7/29/08 talking about how Taft is notified in Cincinnati of his nomination for President by the Republican Party. Notification Day was made a holiday in Cincinnati. The Notification Committee was led by Sen William Warner of MO. The Committee was escorted from the Hotel Sinton to the Taft residence by 600 veterans of the Civil War. The Committee was comprised of Republican representatives of ALL of the states and the territories. The Taft residence was designed by Benjamin Latrobe, first architect of Washington D.C., and purchased by Taft's father-in-law. The Republican Convention was held in Chicago.
  • Elizabeth Thomsen said:
    Great stuff! Taft is Notified -- Here's a link to that New York Times article, which is available as a PDF file.
  • Wystan said:
    But the above photo was taken at the White House in Washington, D. C., in June, 1912, when Taft was the incumbent President. This was his second experience of the notification ritual. The committee had traveled from the Republican National Convention in Chicago {yes, Chicago again} where Taft had been nominated for a second term. In the era before a candidate attended the convention in person, this was his ceremonial acceptance. But of course, Taft went down to defeat in November. Woodrow Wilson, the Democratic candidate, was victorious, and Theodore Roosevelt, leader of the Bull Moose Party, came in second. In the Bain Company files at LOC is a photo of Taft's 1908 notification, in Cincinnati (his home town) -- but LOC has not yet posted that photo on Flickr.
  • Greg Young said:
    I believe the man to the right of Taft (Taft's left) is Luther A. Brewer of Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
  • Barbara (LOC P&P) said:
    It does appear to be Brewer--thanks for identifying him! We'll add to the description when we update.
