In Brockton, Massachusetts, Franklin D. Roosevelt sits in an automobile and turns to his left to speak with Governor James Michael Curley. The picture dates to 1936, when Roosevelt was campaigning for a second term and touring industrial cities in the Northeast. Curley, a Democrat who had served as mayor of Boston before becoming governor in 1935, was a powerful figure in Massachusetts politics and a key ally in securing the state's support. The informal pose, with the two men in conversation during a stop on the road, offers a glimpse of the working side of a campaign tour.
