The Iola register., 1902-05-23

are whole lot of fellows all over the
state who would. like to see Charles
F. Scott governor of Kansas.
Leavenworth Times: Chas. F.. Scott
is one of the most popular men in
Kansas. He is one of the brightest,
cleanest men the state has ever had in
congress and he has made an ideal
Representatives He has not been for
ward in placing himself before the
house and yet he is recognized as one
of its most able men. Scott will be re-
nominated. He need not worry in the
least about that.
Emporia Republican: Congressman
Chas. f. Scott made his maiden speech
in the house yesterday, on the Oleo-
margarine bill, which elected hearty
applause and congratulaton.
Holtou Tribune: Charlie Scott made
his first speech in Congress last Wed.
nesday. Mr. Scott is not the kind of
man to shoot off his mouth at ran
dom. When he has something to say
he gets ready and says it and his
speech in this case proves that he had
something to say on the measure be-
fore the house. 1t was on the anti
oleo bill and was well received.
Wichita Eagle: Charley Scott the
Kansas Congressman, is already maxi
ing dents in national legislation.
Paola Repub, can: Chas. f. Scott,
| Congressman AT large, would not per-
NIT himself to become entangled in the
opposition of Mr.. Bowersock and re-
sisted all overtures to become u can
didate for the Second district nomina-
! tion. Mr.. Scott is making fine
record in Congress ana will be sent
back without opposition.
Wichita Eagle: AS clean man as
was ever sent to congress by any
state, any time, and one of the most
reliable, earnest and bright men ever
elected to any position by Kansas, is
| Charles f. Scott congressman at-large
! from this state.
Hutchinson News: Another attempt
is being made to revive the story that
a candidate is to be jumped up in the
! Republican State convention to defeat
Chas. f. Scott for congressman-at-
large. No one attempts to be respon-
sible for the story, perhaps for the
very good reason that it is too absurd
for even the most inveterate pipe
dreamer to lay claim to. Mr. SCOTS
first tern in Congress has developed
the fact that he is one of the hardest
workers on the Kansas delegation
He is looked upon as safe, conserva'
tive man, who, when he takes posi-
ton upon public question is thor
oughly convinced that he is right ant
then defends it with all of his might
Absolutely clean in public and private
life, loyal to his friends, always ready
to stand up for what he believes to be
right and with keen apolitical minC
that Is quick to solvepublic questions
Mr.. Scott is one of the members oi
Congress who knows how to do thing!
and does them and all talk of his be
ing turned down at Wichita for re
nomination is the simplest moonshine
for in so doing Kansas would be thu
greatest loser.
Commenting upon a service per
formed by Mr.. Scott in behalf of thu
people of Cowley county, the Arkan
sas City Traveller says;
When we take into consideration
that Mr.. Scott is every Kansan's Con
gresham and that he is appealed tt
for assistancefrOme every county in TIN
State, special credit and public recog
milton is due him for his prompt actor
and excellent service in behalf of th
people of this county.
Scores and hundreds of men want c
f. Scott nominated and elected COVER
nor Of the State. but we don't. As In
gals once said-''nOt now Will,
he is caUable To fill and worthy If an,
position within the gift of the people
) we are selfish enough to want him I,
hold his present Job until this Con
gressional district knows enough tC
nominate Republican who can b
elected When this is done Mr.. Scot
should be promoted.
