Original envelope read, "Democratic National Convention- 1920." Negative shows two men standing side-by-side. Both men are wearing suits and hats. The man on the left has a name-tag and ribbon pinned to the lapel of his jacket but the name is not quite clear. In the background is San Francisco City Hall. The 1920 Democratic National Convention was held in San Francisco June 28 at the urging of President Woodrow Wilson. The party pledged ratification of the Treaty of Versailles and supported the League of Nations. The nominee was Governor James M. Cox of Ohio and Franklin D. Roosevelt, then assistant secretary of the navy, for vice-president. The Republican nominee was Warren G. Harding, who went on to win the election.
