Thes pictures must be congressmen and the title after their names, must be the abbreviation of the state they represent. You can delete my comments if you want. Senator Vardaman has a bit of hair on the back of his neck that I would not have expected for this time period.

My grandmother is from Vardaman, Mississippi. I imagine the town must have been named after this man's family. He certainly seems to have had a sense of style that was pretty unique for his time. In another picture here, his jacket and hat stand out distinctly as compared to the other men with him. I guess the hair was part of that unique sense of style he seemed to have had.

Thanks lifeasdaddy! We'll fix the title in the source data and reload the description.

Wow! These guys look tough!

The title does not seem to be right. I doubt these are "Miss" anything

The two men labelled "Miss" represented Mississippi in Congress. Harrison served in both houses, Vardaman was a senator.

This photograph was almost certainly ttaken at the 1912 Democratic National Convention. See what I think is an associated photograph here: www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/3239319120/ Note that Ollie James was the convention chairman and that the three men in the photograph are wearing convention delegate badges.
