The image is a black and white photograph depicting four men sitting outside what appears to be an old-time store in Independence, Oregon. They are dressed in work clothes with overalls and hats, suggesting they might have been laborers or farmers from the Williamette Valley hop farming community attending their political forum at this drugstore corner.
In addition to these seated individuals, there is a fifth man standing on the left side of the image wearing a white shirt and tie. The store behind them has various items advertised such as cigars, candy, photo supplies, stationery, plate dinners for fifty cents, malt, ice cream, cigarettes in packs or cartons priced at twenty-five cents.
The overall atmosphere suggests an ordinary day with men taking a break from their work to socialize and discuss political matters.
