Although the photo may have been taken substantially earlier, given his long political career (including being Governor of California (1911-1917) and Senator from California from 1917), the date written on the negative is 10/16/24. In 1924, he challenged Coolidge for the Republican nomination for President, but won only one primary, in South Dakota. See www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2016678795/ He was on the cover of Time on Sep. 29, 1924 content.time.com/time/covers/0,16641,19240929,00.html I think the caption may be "Dog in the manger?"
