CONGRESSMAN CHAS. f. SCOTT
Burllngame Chronicle:

Burlingame Chronicle:
The Kansas friends of Charles f..
Scott in Washington note with genu-
inc pleasure that his denomination as
Congressman-at-La without oppo-
sitlon is assured. The writer has taken
occasion to make some inquiry CON
cerning tLis Kansas Congressman,
and it may not be out Of place here to
review his record and invite attention
TO some of his achievements.
When Charles F. Scott came here
last December, representative from
the State of Kansas, he was assigned
70 two committees: the Committee on
Agriculture and the Committee on
Mines and Mining. Almost immediate
ly the frst-named committee began
consideration Of the oleomargarine
bill. After thorough study of the
question, Mr.. Scott decided that the
Wadsworth bill was much preferable
for many reasons to the Grout bill,
and at the risk of offending some of
his Kansas constituents, he became
an advocate of the former measure
Both of the measures had for their
avowed purpose the prevention of
fraud in the sale of oleomargarine
Mr.. Scott felt that the WadswOrth bill
would more certainly prevent fraud in
the sale of that product, and SO it was
that the measure enlisted his support.
In taking this action Mr.. Scott was
only adhering to one of the rules of
his life-he did what he believed to be
right. To him no other course was
open. The oleomargarine bill had
been before The Senate and House
Committees for two years, and had
been exhaustively discussed in both
branches of Congress. Notwithstand-
ing this, it had not been materially
amended since its introduction. In
the House Committee, however, of
which the Kansas Congressman had
Just become a member, the bill was
materially amended These amend
ments resulted in the strengthening OF
the bill, and the majority Of them may
be traced directly to Mr.. Scott. His
thorough grasp Of all the details of
the proposed legislation enabled him
TO ask pointed and searching ques.
tious OF witnesses appearing before
the committee, and developed many
weak points in the measure TO cite
an example, The original bill con.
tained no provision which restrained
he retailer from coloring oleomar-

WHAT THE BOYS HAVE TO SAY

The first year the average man
spends in Congress is year of school
ing and not of accomplishment, but
the boys who have been running the
REGISTER since its editor went to
Washington feel pretty tolerably
proud of his success. Perhaps no bet
rter idea of the good impression which
Mr.. Scott's work has made can be had
than perusal of the newspapers of
the State and columns could be filled
with clippings of Il very compliments
ary character Being warned that he
is coming home this month, the tenn
porary editor takes it upon himself to
let REGISTER readers know some
of these things, a feat which the
editor himself would not permit were
he here.
Below are few from large col
lection of clippings culled 10y the eX-
change reader in This Office, and they
deed no introduction The first, and
long one, appeared in the Burlingame
Chronicle last week and is from the
pen of its Washington correspondent.
The others are taken at random from
issues of the past six months.

Hutchinson News: Congressman
Charles f. Scott is receiving many
compliments on his maiden speech in
Congress which was delivered in sup
port of the minority report of the com
mittee on agriculture on the anti-oleo-
margarine bill. Mr.. Scott not only
signed the minority report but wrote
IL. and while il recommended an un-
favorable report on the McCleary bill
which places tax on all oleom ar
garine, the minority report favored
the passage of a bill placing a tax on
that article when colored in imitation
of butter, claiming that this would take
it out of competition with dairy and
creamery butter. Mr.. Scott's speech
was one of the ablest among those de-
livered upon the consideration of the
bill, and while his friends in Kansas
needed Ro additional evidence of his
ability to ably represent the state as
its congressman-at-l t-large, his maiden
effort on the floor of Congress is very
gratifying to them.

Scott came to Congress thoroughly
equipped. His training as news
paper man, his experience in the Kan
sas Legislature, and his habito think
ing for himself had admirably equip
ped him for his work in Congress. SO
he did not have to get used to things.
The place fitted him.
One or two quotations will indicate
how MIR. Scott is regarded by his col
leagues Hon. Jesse Overstreet, him
self one Of the strong men the House,
speaking of Mr.. Scott the other day,
said: "Not one man in hundred re-
ceives the recognition which has been
accorded Mr.. Scott during the first
three months of his congressional
term" Representative McCleary, Of
| Minnesota. made similar comment
| to one of Mr.. SCotts friends, while
| Mr.. Wadsworth, chairman of the Com
mittee on Agriculture, said to Kan
sas man not long ago that he consider
| ed himself fortunate in having Mr..
MIR. Scott on his committee, as he has
| found his counsel to be sound and
sensible to an unusual degree. When
| it is remember how chary old mem.
bers of Congress are in their praise of
new men, these comments from mem
bers who have been here many years
are very significant.
! This is not eulogy. The writer has
tried to tell in simple language the
| facts about Mr.. Scott and his record.
Very truly, J. N. MCDONALD.
Washington, May 10th, 1902.
Burlingame Enterprises: We under
stand that the Hon. Charles f. Scott
will be a candidate for denomination
for congressman-a t-!arge. 1t is not
! likely that there will be any opposl-
tion to Mr.. Scott, it being conceded
throughout the state that he is deserv-
ing the honor of reelection to the Of
| flee he has filled so efficiently, He has
been one of the most active members
of the present Kansas delegation in
Congress and is already looked upon
as one of the leaders of the House
Some three or four conventions have
been held in Kansas and the present
members of Congress renominated.
Mr.. Scott is entitled to the same recog'
milton. His record is good and nc
other man could be selected whose
name would add so much strength tc
the state ticket

Hiawatha World; Hon. Charles F..
Scott, our congressman at large, will
be re-nominated and reelected by a
splendid vote. He has made himself a
valuable member of congress and our
people are very proud of him. Scott
is an educated mana level headed,
quiet, careful law-maker. His eX-
perience in the Kansas Legislature
and his newspaper Office has made him
about all that he should be in politics,
He knows men and their methods.

Fredonia Citizen; The anti-oleo-
margarine bill which passed the
House this week is the most iniqui-
tious piece of class legislation that
has been seriously proposed in Kan
sas for years, and it is no credit to
the Republican party that the measure
has received the Endorsement thus far
extended to it. Congressman Scott,
of Kansas, deserves the unstinted APP
plause of his constituents in his
course of opposition to this odious
bill.

Leavenworth Times: There is one
man in Kansas filling a unique posi-
tion in the states politics, and that is
Congressman Charles r. Scott. In
all the years he has been in politics,
from the time he was first nominated
state senator to the present time he
has escaped the knockers, the fellows
who pound man because he has gone
above them, Every ybody has Il good
word for Scott and he can be con-
gresham as long as he wants the
place, Some of the Kansas delegates
will have to fight for a nomination
next year, but no one has come out
against Scott, for everybody is sat
isfied, something unusual in Kansas
oolitics, and some of the wise men Az
Topeka say if he should want it, it
would be an easy thing for him to
rade his seat in Congress for the ex-
ecutiye mansion in Topeka. There
