In the vicinity of Fargo, North Dakota, on September 6, 1912, Theodore Roosevelt speaks on behalf of his presidential candidacy under the banner of the newly formed Progressive Party. The film contains scenes of men, women, and children gathered around the rear of a campaign train, as Roosevelt leans forward over the train railing and speaks. The film ends with the silhouette of Roosevelt and three unidentified men conversing as the train pulls away. One of the men appears to be George Emlen Roosevelt, Roosevelt’s cousin and campaign secretary in the 1912 election.
