Marshall, Thomas R. (Thomas Riley), 1854-1925

President Roosevelt introduces an enclosed letter summarizing the conclusions of the recent White House Conference on the Care of Dependent Children, and a program of its attendees. One conclusion was that Roosevelt should send each governor a copy of the proceedings for state governments to reference. While the proceedings are being published, Roosevelt sends these enclosures for immediate use. He hopes that the governors will actively promote the Conference’s cause. The names of the governors who received this letter are then listed.

Leslie G. Foschio explains how the home of Ansley Wilcox of Buffalo, New York, became, over time, the Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural National Historic Site. Foschio provides an overview of Roosevelt’s career, looks at the history of the Wilcox Mansion, and explores intersections in the lives of Roosevelt and Wilcox. Foschio documents how the house was saved from the wrecking ball more than once, and he details the efforts of local politicians and volunteers who rallied in the 1960s to save the home and secure it a place in the ranks of National Park Service sites.

A drawing of the Wilcox Mansion and an illustration of Roosevelt in a dynamic speaking pose supplement the text.

The author of the article analyzes Republican losses and the Democratic victory in Indiana following the 1908 election, where James E. Watson was defeated in his Senate race. This defeat is attributed to a number of things such as the local temperance movement and Governor J. Frank Hanly’s determination to call an ill-advised special session of the legislature. However, more broadly the author points to a lack of unity within the party, poor organization on the part of the Republican party, and a resistance to machine rule.

The first part of the film is from October 27, 1919, when the Roosevelt memorial flag, which has been carried across New York State in Theodore Roosevelt’s honor, is brought to rest at his grave in Youngs Memorial Cemetery, Oyster Bay, New York. Shots from different angles of the memorial flag as it is borne by young men up the steep pathway to the grave site. Five girls sew the 48th and final star on flag at what is probably Cove School in Oyster Bay with group of children and Boy Scouts visible in background. Final view is of children and adults on cemetery grounds.

The second part of the film contains views of Theodore Roosevelt’s funeral on January 8, 1919. New York City mounted police lead the funeral procession past crowds lining snow-covered roads. Roosevelt’s casket is borne from the entrance of Christ Episcopal Church with a flag-bearer behind, and Reverend George E. Talmadge visible beside the hearse. William H. Taft is seen with others at the cemetery grounds and the casket is carried up the path, followed by Archibald Roosevelt in uniform and other family members. The film closes with a shot of Vice-President Thomas R. Marshall, official U.S. Government representative at the funeral, and General Peyton Conway March, Army Chief of Staff, at what appears to be a train station followed by a shot of Taft, assisted by an unidentified man, walking down hill after ceremony at the grave site.
