President William Howard Taft's reception by the people of Northfield, Minnesota on September 26, 1908. Columbia is seated on the elephant. The postcard is postmarked July 24, 1909.
President Taft speaking to a crowd from a platfrom erected at the railroad depot in downtown Shakopee. There is a crowd of mostly men around the platform listening to him. There are three American flags hanging around the platform and various Shakopee products laid out: Shakopee bricks, corn and corn stalks, Jacob Reis bottles. Taft was on his way to the Twin Cities, and stopped over in Shakopee for an half hour.
Theodore Roosevelt gives a speech from the back of a train during a whistle stop in Faribault. The Rock Island train depot station is partly visible on the left side. Writing on the back of the photo reads: "Ted Roosevelt's train at the Rock Island depot. Many of the deaf stood here." It is known that Theodore Roosevelt ran for President again in 1912 and made a whistle stop in nearby Northfield, so this photo may be from the same year.
