Picture is taken from the side of the stand, showing a pitcher of water and a table with a vase of flowers and a top hat in the foreground. In the middle ground, Roosevelt exchanges a word with an associate. A large crowd fills the background; some stand in front of the podium, while some lean from windows or from the tops of telegraph poles.
