This lady is supporting the Democratic party ticket of Woodrow Wilson (for President) and Thomas Marshall (for Vice President). Article on the exciting election of 1912: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_election...

Must be Florence Jaffray Hurst Harriman (1870-1967), wife of banker J. Borden Harriman (d. 1914). Mrs. Harriman was a major Wilson supporter, first president of the Women's National Wilson and Marshall Organization (named on the banner shown). She also cofounded NYC's Colony Club, served on the US Commission on Industrial Relations, directed the Women's Motor Corps in France during WWI, participated in the Versailles Peace Conference, and was the US Ambassador to Norway (1937-1940). She said, "“I think nobody can deny that I have always had through sheer luck. . . a box seat at the America of my times.” en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florence_Jaffray_Harriman

Wilson , Marshal has his Vice President, was elected President in 1912 and re-elected in 1916. He was a supporter of woman's suffrage and played a key role in the passage of the 19th amendment.

Since Woodrow Wilson was a supporter of the woman's right to vote, many women supported his election.

From NYT, August 7, 1912, Wednesday [ query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9805E2DB123CE633A... ] A call sent out yesterday to women all over the country to become politicians and work for clean government marked the formation of a new woman's political body, the Woman's National Wilson and Marshall Organization, with headquarters at Room 1,058. Fifth Avenue Building. Mrs. J. Borden Harriman is the Chairman and founder. ... So this picture must be from between August 6 and November 5 (election day), 1912.

Mrs. Harriman is tossing campaign buttons from that box into the crowd -- an action which nearly sparked a riot in her audience, which was mostly male, and avid for souvenirs. Here is an online historical description of what happened, from "The Rise of Political Woman in the Election of 1912," by Jo Freeman (2003): ". . . The WNW&MO organized mass meetings for women throughout New York City. [Daisy] Harriman was often surprised to find that more men than women came to her meetings. At her first mass meeting on August 20th in Union Square, Harriman found herself addressing a crowd of 388 men and boys, but only 12 women. She asked the men to pass on her remarks to their wives, overlooking the fact that New York women were being appealed to solely so they could influence their husbands’ votes. All went smoothly until Harriman and her band pulled out campaign buttons and started to toss them to the crowd. In the men’s rush to grab the trinkets, the rally almost became a riot, and the police had to be called in. (New York Post, 8/20/12 [12], New York World, New York Herald, 8/21/12 [14], New York Globe, 8/21/12 [16]). This got more press coverage than anything the women had to say." www.uic.edu/orgs/cwluherstory/jofreeman/polhistory/1912.htm
