Scope and content
The crowd continues to gather at 9th & Broadway in anticipation of the arrival of Democratic presidential candidate, Franklin Delano Roosevelt on September 20, 1932. Mr. Roosevelt, the governor of New York, took Washington State by storm as he visited Spokane, Seattle, Tacoma and the Puyallup Fair as part of his 8,000-mile campaign tour. He was met by thousands at each stop. His last visit to Tacoma prior to 1932 had been twelve years before in 1920 when he spoke at the Pantages. (TNT 9-19-32, p. 1-article; TNT 9-20-32, p. 1, 12)
