tor Scott will submit an independent
report Of his own, which is UNDER

Oklahoma, is, to make his first speech
in opposition to the Aldricn emer-
gency bill. 1t is~a long speech, which
will require most of the afternoon.
Senator. Foraker will give notice
tomorrow Of his intention to submit
some remarks. He hopes to arouse
the animosity Of the Negro voters
against the, president and Secretary
Taft in every state in the union to
an extent which will frighten repub-
