For For 4 Years More is is S Sen.
Nathan Bay Scott
Junior Senator is Again National
' Committeeman from West Vfr-
ginia Eelected at Lively Ses-
sion Of Delegates.

Chicago, ILL.,, June. 15.-Senator
Nathan Bay Scott, of West Virginia
was tonight, for the fifth time, chos-
en- to represent his state on the re-
publican national committee. His
election was unanimous. There had
been talk during the day that the
West Virginia caucus might see some
trouble owing to the revolt Of Curtin
and Teter against Taft. Although
Curtin was the only one Of the in
structed delegates from his state who
refused to wear Taft badge, there
was no open declaration against the
Ohio man.
There was a little friction at the
start when Grant, Of Morgantown
moved to go into executive session.
This was a tip that the Curtin and
Teter faction wished to poll the dek
egation on Roosevelt and the real
Taft men were on their feet quickly
Laughlin,' Of Wheeling, declared there
was no reason for secrecy, while
HUFFMAN, also Of Wheeling, declared
that better feeling would prevail II
all was done openly. 4
Finally Grant, for the sake OF
peace, withdrew his motion. Teter
moved the election Of Seymour Ed,
wards, Of Charleston, for chairman
Of the delegation. Delegate Dillon
nominated George Laughlin, OF
Wheeling. This was an unexpected
contest, especially to the Teterites
and the ballot resulted in the election
Of Edwards by vote Of 8 to 6. John
Leininger was chosen secretary b,
acclamation.
i. E. Houston nominated G.. w
Dillon for member Of the credentials
committee. This was unexpected b,
the Teter faction, which had planned
TO put Dillon on resolutions. He was
chosen unanimously. Isaac r. Mann
was chosen on resolutions without
dissent, and he then arose naming
George Laughlin for the committee
on rules. This was quickly APPROX.
ed.
General Curtin named e. M. Grant
of MorgantOwn, for permanent or
ganization. Then Houston, the mil
lionaire coal operator, named Gerier
al Curtin for vice president of tht
convention for West Virginia.
Curtin saw that a SOP was beins
thrown to him by the Taft men, ant
he arose to decline, and moved the
election Of Huffman, from Wheeling
This Curtin motion was declared on
Of order, and he was elected desDitt

In the first place, there is not nor

no Pythian lodge Of the N. A., s. A..

counted for a half dozen different
ways. TO some here he expressed a
desire to reach New Orleans, while
others were asked to contribute to-
ward his fare to San Francisco. from
which port he hopes to sail to Aus

Since his game was exposed here.
he Is likely to try other tactics here
after, but there should be no diff
Guilty In recognizing him from the de-
