JAMES WILSON
His signature as Secretary of Agriculture on a 4x2½ card
Signature: "James Wilson/Secretary/Agriculture", 4x2½ card.
James Wilson (1835-1920), born in Scotland, represented Iowa in the US
House (1873-1877, 1883-1885). In the very close election of 1882, he was
certified as the winner by the State of Iowa, but the new Democratic majority in
the House challenged his seat. He held onto it, amidst controversy, until the
very end of the Congressional session, when he resigned to avoid a filibuster
which would have blocked action on a military pension for former President
Grant. Wilson was Secretary of Agriculture under Presidents
McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt and Taft (1897-1913) for a total of
16 years, the longest tenure ever for a US Cabinet officer. Mounting paper
remnant on verso (no show through). Fine condition.
