Grace Sterling was the other woman Larsen selected as a guide to the election process. In Sterling’s case this was a woman seeking an elected position as an alternate delegate for Senator Taft. Should voters throw their votes behind Taft, she would wind up going to the Republican National Convention. It was a minor role, but to win the job she could perform an extremely valuable service as an evangelist for the candidate. By all appearances Sterling was eminently qualified and extremely good at her job. Of the more than one hundred photographs that Larsen took of Grace Sterling the vast majority show a woman in thrall to her work. Exuberance fairly leaps out of the images. Following Sterling must have been a demanding task but there is not much doubt that most of it was good humored.
Elizabeth Bradley and Grace Sterling were both married. It is not particularly surprising to think that both of them would be initially shown with their husbands. Walter Sterling and his wife lived in Hillsboro, not far from Manchester. He worked in a garage and was photographed in coveralls at the Esso station.
