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
