Are not our Georgia brethren too san

man of more than state reputation, and
a politician of patriotic impulse and con-
servatism. Such Southern men in Rar-
rison s cabinet would give southern Re
pubhcanism responsibility. if sadly

The name of Hon. Logan Fl. Roots of Arkan-

patriotic Republican in the South, as hard as
they are to find, is we'll spoken of for a cabine t
appointment under President Harrison If he is
appointed his friends say the Office viii seek the
man-the man win not seek the place; al Of
which goes to show that Mr.. Roots is a much
better man for the place than some who have
been mentioned. Men in the South who have
had capital opportunity to know the worth OF
Mr.. Roots say he VIII make 4 frst-rate repre-
sentative of the South in President Harrison s
cabinet Atlanta Constitution.
Logan H Roots of Little Rock, now president
of the Arkansas state bureau of immigration. is
being advocated by many OF the leading papers
of the South for place in President-eleet Harri-
sons cabinet. Probably no man could be APP
pointed who would give such universal satisfac-
ton TO our people as the selection of Mr. Roots
for one of the advisors of the coming president
With him in the cabinet we could feel sure that
the administration would pursue no policy which
would be detrimental 10 the best inter-
ests of the South. Mr.. Roots Is
staHneB Republican, but way back in the
Feftieth congress, and also IN the Forty
