During the cam paign he was in charge of the western headquarters of the Re publicans and was a leader in the task of winning the Middle Vest ern farmers to the Republican standard.
 Like President Hoover, MT. Good was native of Iowa, having been born at Cedar Rapids on Sep tember A, 1866. After being graduated from Coe College in lis native state and the law school of the University of Michi gan he entered upon the practice of law In 1906 he was elected to his first public office, city at torney of Cedar Rapids

Following is biographical sketch of James w. Good, whose death Monday, following an op- eration for appendicitis, after which
 ptic poisoning set it. Secre- tary of War Good was a man of indominitable character. being en- dowed with an unusual amount of just ordinary common horse sense." Beside being we'll vened in common logis and reason, his was the courage and will power, yes even the physical attributes to stand up for what he believ- ed was the right-an eXistency which he was many times called upon to do. His power of mind and body was displayed to an un- common extent, few hours pre- vious to his death, when he said to his physicians, II have never lost fight yet, and I'm not going to lose this one", but needless to say, the Almighty one want ed his services for more than any earthly beings could possibly war rant it. Even to the end his nev- CT failing courage and faith did not fail him. Thus MAN pass ed on to greater rewards.
 When James William Good be- came secretary of war in the cabin ct of President Hoover, he was familiar with the, needs of the army through long legislative ex- perience.
 He had served as member of the House of Representatives for twelve years from 1907 to 1921, and rose to the importan nt posi- ton of chairman of the house ap- propriations committee. In that capacity MT. Good had much to do with the formulation of the ap- propriations for the war depart ment as he had specialized in the, allotment of funds for military defense while serving on the com mittee.
 Besides his familiarity with the needs of the war department. he also was of assistance to President Hoover as counsellor in matters dealing with legislation, particular ly governmental financial affairs. While in Congress he had been one of the principal sponsors of the budget system and was able to advise the president on questions of centralizing government expen- ditures.
