Roosevelt appears in this Bain News Service image, whose title links him to an investigation into campaign contributions. Congressional inquiries into how election money was raised and spent grew more pointed in the early 1900s, and Roosevelt's 1912 third-party campaign drew its own scrutiny of donors. The Bain agency supplied newspapers with pictures of news events in New York and Washington, and it made glass negatives like this one at a time when such hearings were major stories. The record gives no date or exact occasion, so the title should be read as the agency's unverified label.
