West Virginia Senators Not In
Political Plot Against President
Roosevelt, Says Senator Scott

WASHINGTON. D. c.. Jan. 4. -
There is no senatorial plot or com.
bine. to oppose President Roosevelt
and his policies, or to prevent the
nomination of Mr.. Taft to the Presi.
dency, or TO further the nomination
o: any one else"
This was the emphatic declaration
made by Senator n. B. Scott to a
newspaper man yesterday afternoon.
It was in reply to an article in the
New York Times. alleging the exist.
ence OF a plot to hamper President
Roosevelt, and defeat the nomination
of Mr. Taft.
81 am almost tired of denying silly
and sensational lies of this kind. and
would not do so now,' continued Mr..
Scott. "did not see that some Of our
own State papers were inclined to
treat this latest fake seriously.
"As for myself. no member of the
Senate admires President Roosevelt
more than I do. nor more freely ac
knowledges his splendid public ser.
vice. But certainly the people of
West Virginia, or of any other State.
10 not expect their Senators to sur.
render all opinion OF their own as to
public matters. and accept only that
of the executive. If that were to be
the case. we might as well do away
with Congress with all popular repre-
sentation and set up an absolute mon.
nrchy at once. However, this is all
absurd.
"As to the Brownsville affair over
which so much noise has been made.
| can only report that all desire Is
full and absolutely accurate informa-
ton. Friends of the colored soldiers
claim that they were unjustly punish
ed, that in fact only one side of the
case was heard. This may or may
not be, but one thing is sure, and that
is that every man who wears the uni.
form of the United States army. and
has risked his life In battle for the
flag as many OF these colored soldiers
had done. is at least entitled to have
Il full hearing. and to be treated ac'
cording to the facts. If the President
was misinformed and acted on misin-
formation, there can be no harm In
correcting such a mistake. In fact

LONDON. Jan. Am the event of

a question that has been asked many
times Of late. "As to the attitude to.

says the article, there can be no
room for doubt not even If the meas.

Calls on the President.

ers yesterday was Senator Scott, and
it is somewhat noteworthy in view
of his emphatic utterances above, that
he entered the executive office arm

Scott and the President were togetil.

must have been a very pleasant one
as the sounds of laughter were FIRE,

know that he would be the first TO
favor such correction.
Not Forcing Taft.
"Yo1 acn say that both the West
Virginia Senators are on the best OF
terms with the President and fully
agree with him on most. II not all OF
the questions that are likely to come
before this or the next Congress. You
can also say. and know this to be
fact, that President Roosevelt has not
the remotest idea of trying to force
the nomination of Mr.. Taft or any one
else on the Republican party. The
President has entirely too high re-
gard for his own honor and the propri.
cites Of his high position to attempt
to play the mere politician for the
benefit of any one. And, moreover.
I know that Mr.. Taft does not expect
him to do anything of the kind.
"rhe friends of Mr.. Taft in West
Virginia, and the friends of Mr.. Fair
banks and Mr.. Shaw can rest assured
of one thing and that is that there is
no plot or combination of which
the West Virginia Senators are mem
bers In favor of or against the nomi-
nation of any man. As citizen, and
Republican. I expect to make up my
mind on the matter. and make my
own choice. That choice will be the
man who l think is best able to serve
the entire country to the best advan.
tage.
There Is plenty of time yet for this
friends in West Virginia that Just nov
we are giving more attention to the
pressing business of the Senate than
to politics."

a separation of the jury will be pro-

But at the request of the attorneys
