THE CALL, San Francisco, June 23, 1912 The banner headline announces: "REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION NAMES TAFT AND SHERMAN AS STANDARD BEARERS" with related subheads and two related photographs.
Also: "T. R. Named For Rump Ticket" "New Party Planning Convention in August" which relates to Teddy Roosevelt founding the Progressive Party after losing out to Taft for the Republican candidacy. That party would be defunct by 1920.
Note: present are pages 17-56 of a 56 page issue, however page 17 appears very much as a typical front page. Very nice condition.
