Indianapolis in 1914 was the state capital of Indiana and a growing manufacturing and rail center, with a population that had climbed past 230,000 in the previous decade. The city sat at the crossroads of many interurban and steam railroad lines, and its factories produced automobiles, engines, furniture, and farm machinery, while the Bates Street and Union Station area served as a busy freight and passenger hub. Politically the city was tied to the Republican-leaning state government and to the Circle, the central monument and traffic point laid out in the 1820s when Indianapolis was first planned. Residents in 1914 knew the city as the home of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, which had opened in 1909 on the western edge of town, and as a place where new automobile makers were setting up shop.
