Pictured: a wide overview of the Grand Olympic Auditorium, full of seated men and women listening intently to the speaker, Rexford Guy Tugwell, who stands on a platform on the center stage. Patriotic decor is common, with the American and California flags in prominence, in addition to red-, white-, and blue-colored banners. Large speakers are placed on the stage, directed toward the audience. Tugwell was the Undersecretary of Agriculture and an agricultural economist who served under the Franklin Delano Roosevelt presidential administration. He was invited by the Democratic State Central Committee to speak at the Olympic Auditorium, on 1801 S. Grand Avenue. He was resting in Palm Springs before his speech to fellow Democrats.
