Scope and content
The Republican Party hosted a booth at the 1923 Western Washington Fair to promote voter registration and remembrance of the importance of the party in American politics. The booth is festooned with flags and portraits of famous members of the Republican Party, including Presidents Lincoln and Harding. The current President was also a Republican, Calvin Coolidge, who succeeded to the office upon the untimely death of President Harding just two months prior. President Coolidge's framed portrait is on the center pillar. Copies of the National Republican were also stacked for distribution to fairgoers. This is the same photograph as Boland B8703 without the four women manning the booth. G74.1-067
