During, the latter months of the year Just closed the Oregonian and the Mea ford Dally Tribune became engnged in a controversy concerning the Oregon lan's political attitude. Mr. Scott took some exception to the statements mad editorially by the Tribune s editor. George Putnam. On December . 1907. the Tribune published a torlal headed, "A journalistic Peck sniff," in which the Scott-Bourne con tract and the circumstances lead ng up to It were treated in some detail. In discussing this matter the lrlbune wrote as follows: weeded 111 Xslp. . "Referring to the senatorial election of 103. the Oregonian says: Mr. Bcott had no thought nor wish to b candi date (for the senate) hlmseif. H never desired the position, for he never felt that it was his proper place. But on the last night of Jlie legislative ses slon In February. 1J. tnrobtha urgency of many persons. Mr. Bcott consented to allow his name to be brought before the convention; yet h no more expected the election, than h had desired It. Had he wanted It. h would have taken measures In tlm to obtain It. and It would have been easy. " 'Mr. Scott had no thought to become a candidate.' Why then, did Mr. Bcolt wire to George K Brownell on the last night of the session as fol lows: 'You have often expressed a fle slre to help me; if you' do. now is tn tim,Mr. Scott did not expect to b elected, he says. Then why was this apoetl of truth so confident of hH own election that he wrote a long on that fateful February night that marked the death of th l0 session entitled The Election of Scott T This editorial waa set tip. stereotyped and actually on the press, when th news cam of Fulton's election, and the press had to be stopped and the editorial cut U"A a matter of fact Harvey Scott waa a gumshoe candidate for the na torshlp" There Is nothing surprising or aught but laudable in that. The sur prising fact Is that he should find It necessary to so often needlessly deny what every member of the legislature of that days knows to be a fact "Then follows reference to th eon tract: 'In case I receive Jonathan Bourne Jr.'s support for United States senator at xne joini einn ui e.-- the full power of the Morning Ore gonian and the Evening Telegram to senatorial election and elect Jonathan Bourne, Jr., in his place.
