Subject(s): Roosevelt, George Emlen, 1887-1963, Roosevelt, Theodore, 1858-1919

As part of a western campaign tour, Theodore Roosevelt speaks to crowds and firms up Progressive Party structure in the area of Fargo, North Dakota, September 6, 1912. Several views from varying distances of Roosevelt greeting and speaking to crowds from rear of train; addressing large crowd from a decorated platform, apparently in a stadium; speaking from rear of train to Native American men, women, and children assembled on open plains; several long shots of crowds; medium-close silhouette of Roosevelt and three men conversing, one of whom appears to be George Emlen Roosevelt, his cousin and campaign secretary in the 1912 election.
