In 1914 Mary Imogene Day (Syracuse 1900, Gamma Phi Beta) traveled abroad with her parents--they seem to have been delayed in London for a while in August. books.google.com/books?id=EAcTAAAAIAAJ&pg=PA414&l...

They look fun people!

@Sqribel Man: no levity please; they are not amused.

Is that Wilson front row far right?

This picture is just bullly.... :-) [http://www.flickr.com/photos/toots] Golly, that looks like Wilson.

The sticker and scratched in mirror view it is read 5/13/15 (May 13, 1915)

Theodore Roosevelt was sued for libel by a political enemy, and the trial was held between 4-25-15 and 5-23-15 in Syracuse, New York. Roosevelt won the case. The trial was heavily covered by the press, so I suppose this is Teddy and the press boys assigned to his trial, outside the courthouse. select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F50E1FF73F5D1A72...

The reporter second from left in the back row appears to be James J. Montague who covered the trial for anti-Roosevelt Hearst newspapers. A Roosevelt biographer wrote: ""At the Barnes-Roosevelt libel trial in Syracuse I came across James J. Montague, a hardened reporter on a highly anti-Roosevelt newspaper, walking up and down and cursing. I asked him what moved him to these expletives. 'Roosevelt, damn him,' said Montague; 'I can't keep hating him if I get anywhere within twenty feet of him, and I'm always accidentally doing it. He's spoiling my story." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_J._Montague

What the hell do you do at a Moose convention - let alone a Bull Moose convention? Seriously, does anyone know? ( an ignorant Australian)

Hi Catmandu Google Bull Moose convention and your question will be answered.

Thanks wareninmana, I learnt a lot! The quote below explains why there are so many women in the photo: "It may seem strange or ironic that women played such an important role in a party nicknamed the "Bull Moose Party," but the Progressive or Bull Moose Party welcomed women into leadership positions as no major party had before. The high status of women in the Progressive Party reflected the party's strong advocacy of women's suffrage and women's rights, and the emphasis that Theodore Roosevelt, the party's presidential candidate in 1912, gave to women's issues. Up to this time, no male of Theodore Roosevelt's prominence and popularity had endorsed women's suffrage, and in 1912 neither the Republican candidate, President William Howard Taft, running for reelection, or Democrat Woodrow Wilson, endorsed women's suffrage on the national level. In 1912 women had the vote in several Western states, but in no state east of the Mississippi River." www.theodoreroosevelt.org/life/bullmoose.htm

By the way, it was New Zealand who first gave women the vote in the previous century, followed by my home state, South Australia. See below: "New Zealand in 1893 is considered the first major nation to give all women the right to vote, however, some sub-national entities had earlier given certain women voting rights." "1894 South Australia grants universal suffrage, extending the franchise to all women (property-owners could vote in local elections from 1861), the first in Australia to do so. Women are also granted the right to stand for parliament, making South Australia the first in the world to do so." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_women's_suffrage
