His only absences being his four-year term at Jefferson City as governor and the past two years in Kansas City as head of an Insurance company. He was born in Princeton, Mercer county, July 12, 1877, got his early education in the Princeton schools and later received degrees from the University of Michigan and the University of Iowa. His first political effort was made in 1912 when he was the Progressive (Bull Moose) candidate for attorney general of Missouri. The Democrats at that election carried everything in Missouri.

Hyde returned to Princeton and held his first public office as Mayor of that city. -In 1920 he was elected Governor of Missouri and served from 1921 to 1925. When Selden Spencer died hi 1926, Hyde was suggested as a possible successor to Spencer in the senate but Judge Williams of St. Louis was appointed and Hyde worked hard in the Williams camp during the next senatorial election.

To many, his decision, after the Washington conference was an indication that he was assured recognition by the Hoover administration if he had any more political aspirations.

Hyde, however, seemed to have withdrawn from active politics. His business was taking most of his time. He had been heard to state that he did not desire any appointment and it has since been said on good authority that he accepted his post as secretary of agriculture only after some persuasion fay the. president-elect. The new secretary has long been engaged in the Buick business in north Missouri, at one time acting as distributor for five counties in this section and also operating a sales agency in 'St.

Joseph. He still owns the Buick agency in Trenton. Hyde is a member of the Grundy county Bar Association and is an honorary member of the Trenton Rotary club. He has long been active in Methodist church circles. He is on his way to Washington now and will be on deck March 4 to take over his new duties.
