During Senator SCOTS campaign for
endorsement for reelection, his organs
over the state harped continuously of
his ability to get pension and public
buildings bills through congress, and
it is probable that Senator Burton, of
Ohio, had Scott on his mind when he
made these remarks in congress on
June 80 last: "When you reach the
real American citizen he is not going
to judge a senator of the United states
or representative for the part that he
plays in getting something out OF the
nationsl grab-bag. He has higher
ideal of representative and of what
should be done by him than that he
is merely an agent for his constitu-
ency in securing money TO be expend'
ed in his home locality Is not the
real American citizen in the majority
in West Virginia? Have not a major
ity of cur people the proper conception
OF a real Standardization Democrat.
