TOPEKA, June 16.—Election of Her- bert Hoover and Charles Curtis next November will assure agricultute the brigntest outlook in many years, Wil liam M. Jardine, Secretary of Agricul- ture, declared here today. "1 am particularly well pleased with the act of the convention in choosing Senator Curtis as a running mate for Hoover,” Secretary Jardine said. selection of these two Western men as presidential and vice presidential nom- inees gives the Republican party a strength it could not have obtained otherwise. Not only do they know'the conditions and the problems which the West has to face, but they are highly regarded in the East. “No man in Washington today is more | highly esteemed for his ability, fairness. | personality and knowledg> of conditions [tion as to how agriculture “The | THE SUNDA Y STAR.
