Far to the right accompanying the president is Senator Tom Connally. On this particular trip, FDR and Connally joked with Marvin Jones, whose district they were visiting and who was the Chairman of the Committee on Agriculture.

FDR said, "Tom Connally and I have been "kidding" him on this train, wondering whether when we came into the home district of the Chairman of the Committee on Agriculture of the House of Representatives, whether we should find agriculture was a whole lot better here than in any other place in the country.” | Source: Portal to Texas History
