See www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/2368281179/ for another photo on same occasion. At left is Mrs. Borden Harriman (known as Daisy). From NYT, query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9C04E3DA123CE633A..., on August 21, 1912, it appears that the Women's National Wilson and Marshall Organization (supporting Woodrow Wilson for President and led by Daisy Harriman) kicked off its campaign efforts in Union Square on August 20. Among the speakers was Mrs. S.A. Vibbert, who was 75.

Another Bain/LOC photo of Mrs. Vibbirt, of the Woman's National Wilson and Marshall Organization, addressing a political rally in New York's Union Square, August 20, 1912: Daisy Harriman tosses the contents of a box of campaign buttons at the crowd: Boys in the Union Square crowd grab for the buttons, almost starting a riot:

This lady is supporting the Democratic party ticket of Woodrow Wilson (for President) and Thomas Marshall (for Vice President). Article on the exciting election of 1912: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_election...

Must be Florence Jaffray Hurst Harriman (1870-1967), wife of banker J. Borden Harriman (d. 1914). Mrs. Harriman was a major Wilson supporter, first president of the Women's National Wilson and Marshall Organization (named on the banner shown). She also cofounded NYC's Colony Club, served on the US Commission on Industrial Relations, directed the Women's Motor Corps in France during WWI, participated in the Versailles Peace Conference, and was the US Ambassador to Norway (1937-1940). She said, "“I think nobody can deny that I have always had through sheer luck. . . a box seat at the America of my times.” en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florence_Jaffray_Harriman

Wilson , Marshal has his Vice President, was elected President in 1912 and re-elected in 1916. He was a supporter of woman's suffrage and played a key role in the passage of the 19th amendment.

Since Woodrow Wilson was a supporter of the woman's right to vote, many women supported his election.
