Barrett Author of
Quarterly Article
Ashland - Harold Barrett,
assistant professor of speech,
Southern Oregon college, is
author of an article, "Scott of
the Oregonian vs. William
Jennings Bryan," appearing
in the current issue of Quar
terly Journal of Speech.
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.
