Jared Young Sanders, Sr. (January 29, 1869 – March 23, 1944), was a journalist and attorney from Franklin, the seat of St. Mary Parish in south Louisiana, who served as his state's House Speaker (1900–1904), lieutenant governor (1904–1908), the 34th Governor (1908–1912), and U.S. representative (1917–1921). Near the end of his political career he was a part of the anti-Long faction within the Louisiana Democratic Party. Huey Pierce Long Jr., in fact had once grappled with Sanders in the lobby of the Roosevelt Hotel in New Orleans.
He was actually Jared Jordan Sanders, born on Inglewood Plantation near Morgan City, also in St. Mary Parish, to Jared Young Sanders, II, and the former Elizabeth Wofford. He did not use the Roman numeral "III" but was referred to as Jared "Sr.", after the birth of his only son, "Jared Young Sanders Jr.," but really Jared Sanders, IV. Sanders was educated in the public schools of Franklin, St. Charles College in Grand Coteau, and the Tulane University Law School in New Orleans, from which he received his LL.B. degree in 1893. He was the editor and publisher of the weekly Franklin newspaper, the St. Mary Banner, from 1890 to 1893. He launched his law practice in New Orleans in 1893, and his firm included a cousin, former Governor Murphy J. Foster Sr., grandfather of future Republican Governor Murphy J. "Mike" Foster Jr. (1996–2004).
