< Senator Scott Makes
Some Brief Remarks.


county Chairman Homer w. Will
liams called big and enthusiastic
Republican meeting to order in the
court house Wednesday night and
named Hon. Raymond Maxwell as
presiding officer after a few COM
ments on enthusiasm shown this
campaign by the Republicans OF Har-
rison, county, and the meeting We'd
nesday night but emphasized Mr..
.WfIIiRms's statement.
Mr.. Maxwell in taking the chair
stated that us there we're eloquent
speakers for the occasion he would
not take up the time of the meet
ing, and with that he said, 81 have
the honor to present United States
Senator Nathan B.tScott."
Senator Scott was greeted with an
outburst of applause by the audi
enee. when he stepped forward to ad-
dress the meeting. Senator Scott said
he knew he was an unexpected visit
or. as he was sure they had come out
to hear their next governor and fell
aow-townsman. Then the Senator
proceeded to give an insight into the
charaeter of Hon. William II. Taft,
with whom he has been Familiarity as
ISOLATED a great many years and was
lone of a party which accompanied Mr.
Taft across the waters Japan and
the philippines, a voyage of II days
either way and twelve days spent in
the seas OF the Philippine Islands,
the nature OF which gave ample OPP
portunfty to study the man, espec-
.fRIly since Senator, Scott was thrown
into close, and intimate contact with
Judge Taft.
FiIipinos Love Taft
Senator Scott declared that chill
dren readily know their friends and
the little black men of the Islands
are children in a sense. Their de-
votion to Judge Taft was remarkable
and only to touch the hem of his
garment was for them to look with
smiles of gratitude and love. But
while Judge Taft is kind-hearted and
always wears smile, yet he is a
man of great will and determination
such as but few men possess.
Here was related an incident of
young man who had enlisted and re-
enlisted in the army and done good
service. who the third time for en-
Iistment was rejected by the army
officers because it was found that he
was slightly too small around the
chest. Senator Scott became inter
ested in the case and finally the young
man was taken before Judge TAFT as
secretary of war. who learned from
the young man his splendid record In
the army, and with characteristic de-
cision Judge Taft ordered that the
Young man be made a second lieu
tenant.
Veterans Are Deserving.
Senator Scott directed attention tc
the fact that there are 1900 pen
sioners in West Virginia and from
this source 81, 9SS, 900 comes into tbs
state annually. He said it was de
served as no man called for to serve
his country had refused and they are
now growing old and they and those
dependent upon them should very
rightly be provided for.
The rapid return of normal Dusl
ness conditions was next discussed D!
senator Scott at some length, and the
fact chat the only law OF eonsequ nc
BRYAN ever helped 10 make was thl
Wilson-Gorman tarin law. which
paralyzsd the country. Senate
Scott then pointed out some of IN
Dement'S of the protective prtncipt'
and declared that West Virgins
wanted and needed but little reYts
ion OF the tautR.
The crowded house listened atten
lively to Senator Scott and receive
his address with an enthusiasm IN
dfcative of the fact that his auditor
wore thoroughly in sympathy Wiz
mis- utterances.
