  • Marshall Astor - Food Fetishist said:
    It strikes me that this image has a ton of inappropriate tags attached to it, especially "1968 Democratic Convention Protests" and a slew of sports teams.

    Hi, I'm an admin for a group called RNC in St Paul, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

Crowd at Roosevelt's arrival - Chicago (LOC)

  • Susan Barsy said:
    probably dates from August 1912, when the "Bull Moose" convention was held at the Chicago Coliseum. . . The regular Republican Party convention, held at the Coliseum earlier in the summer, had resulted in a victory for Taft over Roosevelt, leading to a split in the party--backers of Roosevelt then held a second convention in the same venue in August, at which Roosevelt appeared and galvanized his supporters. . .

    From the "Convention Tickets" sign, I'm guessing this is the 1916 Republican Convention.

  • Pixel Wrangler said:
    —From The New York Times, June 9, 1916 The elephant mascot, Chin-Chin, is a four and a half foot tall midget [dwarf] elephant. Weighing 350 pounds it was brought to Chicago from New York to head the Sherman outdoor parades. The baby elephant wearing a blanket with the inscription “Sherman G.O.P., a United Party” spent the night in the Sherman headquarters on the second floor of the Congress Hotel. On orders of the hotel manager, the elephant was taken to the baggage room (as they check trunks there).

    People are so invested in divisive politics that they are tagging this fun, historical image with ridiculous, hateful tags. Sad.
