The Manson Democrat, speaking
of the new secretary of agriculture.
says: Mr.. Meredith has brains and
talent. He is a good business man
and quite ambitious, even to almost
the point of discretion at times. He
was once the candidate of the demo-
cratic party for the United States
senatorship from Iowa and also a
candidate for the governorship on
the same ticket, but it is not a mat
ter of record that he made any phe-
nomenal race for either office. AS a
democrat his enthusiasm for the
party has never been marked except
upon occasions when he wanted some
thing for himself, which is not an
unusualsthing with politicians of any
Eolitical faith or pretensions."
