Barrett's article on Scott received national recognition last fall ,whcn it was present ed as one of five winning papers at the conference of the Speech Association of America. Scott, editor of the Oregon Ian for 40 of the years be tween 1865 and 1010, was de icribed as the last of his kind, "the personal journal ist, the independent and fear less warrior who daily plant ed his feet and fought out the current battle." To Scott, Bryan was a "blind leader of the blind" and one "whose only gift is a rattling ver bosity." From the 1890's to his death, Scott kept his readers aware of every new "folly and "ill-conceived scheme" uttered by the orator from Nebraska. Scott attacked Bry an as a person and as an out sider among Oregonians, and he attacked Bryan's audiences and speechmaking. Much of the success in pre venting wide acceptance of Bryan's views in Oregon is attributable to the work of Harvey W. Scott.
