SENTIMENT
Strongly in Favor OF Annexation to the |
United States.


United States.
In a speech at ST. Johns, n. F., in the
election campaign just closed. Mr. Scott,
the defeated opposing candidate, stated:
For many months past the bitter feel
ing of resentment against British negli
gence in Ncwfoundland's vital interests
has been taking deeper and deeper root
in tho hearts Of the people, and
annexation with tho American Re
public is beginning to be regarded by
a vast number of Observation-Disclosures
as the only remedy for our sufferings."
How intense the sentiment in favor of
annexation has already become was
evidenced by the conduct of the public
meeting on Monday night. Mr.. Scott,
in referring to the lOng-cOntinued denial
of Justice to the country, used words
which occasioned an outburst Of enthu-
siasm. The audience could not keep 81
lence, and cheer after cheer echoed
throughout the hall, until Mr.. Scott was
forced to cease speaking and wait for
the enthusiasm to subside.
