  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/
