May Make Jordan
Secretary of
.
Agriculture.
Well Known Georgian Being
Urged By His Friends For
Place In Next Cabi
net. Other Press
Comments.
[From The Atlanta Journal,)
Hon. Harvie Jordan, president
of the National Farmers' Congress,
is being urged for the position of
secretary of agriculture of the
United States by his friends in the
farmers’ congress, and though the
next administration be Republi
can or Democrat, the farmers of
the country seem to be united on
Mr. Jordan for the place.
At the recent meeting of the
congress, which was held in Ni
agara Falls, when Mr. Jordan was
made president, there was a great
deal of talk about the matter and
it was agreed among some of the
most prominent members of the
organization to present Mr, Jor
dan’s name for consideration to
the next president of the United
States,
Mr. Jordan stands in the fore
most rank of the farmers of Amer
ica, as is shown by the office to
which he was elected, and the fact
that he is being urged by this
class of the United States for the
position of secretary of agriculture
shows the esteem and regard in
which he is held by them.
For many years Mr. Jordan has
been prominent in Georgia. He
has represented his county time
and again in the house of repre
sentatives and now he represents
his senatorial district in the state
senate. He was asked to run for
congress from the Eighth district
some time ago, but on account of
his personal friendship for Con
gressman Howard he declined to
make the race.
Readers of The Journal are
thoroughly familiar with Mr. Jor
dan’s writings, as he has been
agricultural editor of this paper
for many years. Personally, Mr.
Jordan is one of the most popular
‘men in the state end has a wide
following. He has never taken
‘much interest in politics, but has
always done more for his friends.
The friends of Mr. Jordan in
Georgia and in the national' con
gress believe that he is the logical
man for secretary of agriculture.
The farmers claim that they
should have representation in the
cabinet, and while they do not in
any sense claim to mix in politics,
they are of the opinion that they
should have some voice in the sel
ection of the man who is to head
the department from which they
receive assistance and direction, .
The election of Hon. Harvie
Jordan to the presidency of the
National Farmers' Congress, at
Niagara Falls, was an honor well
bestowed. —Madison Advertiser.
Hon. Harvie Jordan is being
boomed by his friends for the ag
ricultural portfolio in the cabinet.
By all means, let the boom go on.
If Hearst becomes president,
Mr. Jordan will get the place.—
Waycross Journal.
Hon, Harvie Jordan, of Monti
cell, has been clected president of
the National Farmers' Ccngress,
The election of a Georgian to this
high ofiice is a decided compli-‘
ment to the Empire State as well
as to Mr, Jordan as a citizeu.——‘
Carrolton Free Press. ;
The election of Hon, Harviei‘
Jordan to the National Farmers'
Congress is giving general satis
faction among his hosts of friends.
There is no more untiring and
earnest worker in the state, for
the interest of agriculture, and the
‘honor is worthy bestowed.— Jack
twn Argus,
It was a merited compliment to
Hon. Hat\'iedlotdan to be elected
to the presidency of the Far
mers' National Congress. The
Northern and Western farmers
are not exclusive about offices
that have no salary attached—
which tends to remind the senti
mental that the union is restored,
—Sparta Ishmaelite. |
And now they are booming
Harvie Jordan for Secretary of
Agriculture in the next cabinet,
whether the president be republi
can or democrat., The National
Farmers' Association has made
him its president, and now claims
the right to advise as to who the
next secretary of agriculture shall
be. The many friends Mr. Jordan
would be gratified to see¢ him in
that position.—Athens Banner.
