Scope and content
Three young men exuberantly demonstrate their support for the 1972 Democratic candidate for president, George S. McGovern, while they wait for his arrival in Washington. Senator McGovern had arrived on a delayed flight at Sea-Tac Airport on September 25, 1972, for a short visit to Tacoma. The patient crowd of 700, which included some Nixon supporters, did not seem dismayed at the wait. It is not known whether the above photograph was taken at the airport or in Tacoma where the senator would speak at the new Labor Center. Although Senator McGovern was enthusiastically greeted during his brief stop over, he did not carry the state in the November 7th election. (TNT 9-25-72, p. 1-article)
