On May 27, 1916, shortly before the Republican Party and Progressive Party conventions, the newly formed Roosevelt Non-Partisan League sponsored a demonstration of support for TR at Sagamore Hill. Many prominent men are included in the over 2,000 people who traveled from New York City to Oyster Bay to see TR and hear him speak on “Americanism.” Segments included in the movie include panning shots of crowd gathered around porch, Roosevelt shaking hands, and Roosevelt addressing the crowd. The man who appears to be addressing Roosevelt may be Richard M. Hurd, chairman of the committee which arranged the demonstration. A brief sequence of TR speaking in the Court of the Universe at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco, on July 21, 1915 also features in this film.
