Original envelope read, "Democratic National Convention." Negative is a portrait of a woman standing up in front of a wall near three water pipes. She is wearing a long coat belted at the waist over a frilly blouse and long skirt. She is also wearing a large droopy styled hat. She has three medals of some kind pinned to the lapel of her coat. The woman may be the wife of a delegate or a delegate herself or she may be there to encourage support for the passage of the 18th Amendment. 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.
