The caption pairs Theodore Roosevelt with a man named Dixon, and the title is unverified, so the second man's identity is uncertain. A likely candidate is Joseph M. Dixon of Montana, who managed Roosevelt's 1912 Progressive Party campaign. The picture is a glass negative from the George Grantham Bain Collection, a New York news photo service whose pictures from the early 1900s to the 1910s record politicians, public events and daily life in Washington and beyond. Because the negative carries no date, the exact occasion is unknown, but the Bain collection's typical caption style is worth noting when reading the image.
