The record pairs two names, E.F. Ladd and W.B. McKinley, and the Library of Congress notes that the title comes from unverified Bain News Service data on the negative or caption card, so the identification is provisional. The names match men who held public office in the early 1920s, but the record does not confirm which individuals are shown or where and when the photograph was taken. The Bain News Service was a New York picture agency that sold news photographs to newspapers, and its glass negatives, many made in the 1910s and 1920s, document the people and events of that era. Because the sitters and occasion are uncertain, the plate is best read as a record of a working news photograph of its time.
