On the White House lawn, President Calvin Coolidge stands beside a figure captioned as "Mother" Jones Jr. The nickname echoes that of labor organizer Mary Harris "Mother" Jones, who had championed workers' causes for decades, though the record does not say whether the two are connected. The photograph dates to September 26, 1924, when Coolidge, who had succeeded Warren G. Harding in 1923, was preparing for the presidential election that November. The record does not explain the occasion of the visit, and the lawn was a common setting for official and posed pictures of the era.
