wrong

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

Isn't that Rand Paul dressed as Uncle Sam to the right of the elephant?

This is flippin' fantastic!!!!

—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.

this whole set of photos made me nostalgic for how america used to be, and how the country banded together during WWII and then blam! knocked me down a peg.

love the hair.

Why does it look like they have white make-up on?

Really great that they were still optimistic, considering what they were going through. -- Seen in your 1930s-40s in Color set. (?)

personally madkt I´m glad the US is not the way it used to be placing it´s citizens in made up prisons and calling them camps under the pretext of war. I found yr comment extremely disturbing and really out of place
