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

Roger C. Sullivan (1861-1920) was the first Democratic boss of Cook county (IL) – a position he held for 25 years. He was credited with swinging key support to Woodrow Wilson at the 1912 Democratic convention. A photo of his wife is in the Bain / LOC collection on Flickr and posted here. – N Y Times

After a short, three-year break, here's some info on "J.P.C. Talbot" ; ) J.P.C. Talbot s/b J.F.C. Talbott J. F. C. Talbott (Joshua Frederick Cockey Talbott) also known as J. Fred C. Talbott (1843-1918), also known locally as "Uncle Fred", was a Democratic politician in Baltimore, Maryland. The former Maryland State Insurance Commissioner, leader of the Baltimore County Democrats and Congressman from Baltimore worked with Roger Sullivan during the 1912 Democratic Convention (which was being held in Baltimore) to support a conservative agenda.

He was prosecuting attorney for Baltimore County 1871-1875, a delegate to the Democratic National Convention for several years, and a twelve-term U.S. Congressman for the Second Congressional District of Maryland.

Pixel Wrangler, thanks for the correction and further info on Mr. Talbott's name. We will update our record.

This pic has NO connection to the USS Talbot County (LST 1153) and does NOT belong on the page relating to that ship.

James Beauchamp "Champ" Clark (1850 - 1921) Speaker of the House (1911 - 1919) Missouri Senator This picture may be from the Democratic Convention of 1912, where Clark was initially considered a frontrunner for the Presidential nomination. By the end, though, the nomination went to Woodrow Wilson.

Yes, Clark actually received a MAJORITY of the votes on the first ballot. But not 2/3, which is what was required to secure the nomination.

Thanks! We'll fix the title to include Clark's full name in the source data and reload the description. (Location is the House of Representatives chamber at the U.S. Capitol. Compare this photo from our main photo catalog, hdl.loc.gov/loc.pnp/cph.3b43283 )

The photo appears in the Bain Agency's 1911 photostream, and is dated (on the negative) May 15, 1911.

Wystan, Thanks for the more accurate date. We will add that to the record when we update.
