Questions Of Today--Does Not Want
to See Extra Session Of Legislature.
Wheeling, Dec. 28.-United States
Senator N. B. Scott and Mrs. Scott ar
rived In Wheeling Sunday, to spend a
few days with friends. A reported met
Senator Scott at the Mcclure House.
Concerning the Federal appointments,
which have been the absorbing polit-
zeal topic in West Virginia the past
two weeks, Senator Scott talked free
ly.
IT is practically settled, think"
said Mr.. Scott, "that the nominations
of Messrs. Waugh, Doyle and Tyree
will be sent to the senate by President
Taft early next week, Tuesday or Wed.
nesday probably, and they will be
promptly confirmed. when a large
number of good men are candidates
for few places, some one has to be
disappointed, and the lot of the public
Official who has to decide amongst
them, is not an easy one. In making
our recommendation of Federal APP
pointees, Senator Elkins and my
self, gave the most careful considera.
ton to every case and from what we
have heard we think our action has
met. public approval. Our aim has
been to ensure to the people efficient
public service, and at the same time
to make our appointment as represen-
tatife of all elements of our party
and all sections of our state. as pos
sible. These recommendation I think
make 1t plain that the influence OF the
senators from West Virginia and of the
national administration is to be exert
ed and will be exerted, not for the
benefit of any particular man or set of
men, but for harmony, and the
strengthening of the entire Republican
party in the state. Some of the candi-
dates turned down, were my personal
friends of long years, and it was a
great source of regret to me that we
could not please all of them"
Hope For Reelection.
What developments, If any, are
there in your campaign for re-elec-
ton" asked the reporter.
well, naturally I hope to be re-
elected. West Virginia has many
good men who would make good sena-
IN
the state at Washington, is an honor
able one However, | am inclined to
think that l will not have much SER
ious opposition. Personally / feel that
an insight into affairs, snd position
of influence, that new man could not
attain in years and that / am now bet

session of congress, and fight over the
tariff showed pretty clearly the advan-
tage of having trained men on the fir
ing line, so to speak. No state in the
than West Virginia. Our interests were
carefully looked after, and received
their fair share of consideration; and
| think that all West Virglnians,
whether Democrat or Republican, will
agree that the judicious protection OF
our own industries, was our first duty;
and that we were successful. For my
self, | can say in all frankness, that |
would not seek reelection If did not
feel that my service and experience
would be able to serve the state eff
fec.ively.
