THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER The Colored People Have Always Had a Friend in Senator Long, and They are With Him! The Colored Peo CONGRESSMAN GOOD AT Charles F. Scott Has Ably Repsesented Kansas---He is Now in a Position to Aid the State and Nation. Charles F. Scott, born in Kansas in 1861, and educated in the public schools and the State University. His father was an old soldier. Mr Scott has made his own way in the world. He was elected to the state senate in 1892 and nominated with little opposition for congressman at large in 1900 and re-nominated twice by acclamation. He is now serving his fourth term in Congress, although his first as the representative of the second district. Three years ago he made a speech on the race ques- 6 M. H. CONGRESSMAN CHAS. F. SCOTT. tion in the house of representatives which Dr. Vernon declares was the braveat speech that has been made in that body for ten years. He so thoroughly demolished the arguments of the Southern Democrats who had been making many speeches on that subject, that not one speech has been made on the same subject in the house since that time. He stood with the rest of the Kansas delegation last winter in opposition to the bill to bring the Jim Crow street car to Washington, and in his home town our people declare he has always been their firm and steadfast friend. When the present Congress was organized Mr. Scott was made chair man of the great committee on agriculture, although two other men ranked him on the committee—a striking recognition on the part of the speaker of his high character and ability. And his work has fully justified his appointment to this responsible position, for it was such as to call forth the most flattering commendation, not only on the part of his colleagues but of the agricultural press of the country. Since the nomination of Judge Taft the --- VOLUME X. press of the country quite generally has mentioned Mr. Scott as the man most likely to be chosen by the new president as secretary of the great department of Agriculture. Mr. Scott is not in any sense a candidate for that position, but it must be gratifying to the pride of his constituents to see his name in so honorable a connection, and to know that their representative is deemed worthy of so important an office. Mr. Scott has always been classed with the progressive Roosevelt Republicans of Kansas. He made the first speech that was made in the house of representatives in favor of the government regulation of railroad rates, the speech bringing him a personal letter of congratulation from President Roosevelt. Speaking ... of him near the close of the recent session of Congress, President Roosevelt said: "Scott is one of the men that I don't worry about for I know he is always right." And that is the way his constituents feel about him They don't worry about him because they know he is honest and square and that he is on the side of the people all the time. And that is the reason that he will be nominated without opposition and will be elected by an overwhelming majority. ROY OSBORN. In the primary to be held Aug. 11th, the Republicans of Coffeyville are asking for only one place on the county ticket - that of probate judge. There are four candidates for this nomination; two residing in Coffeyville and two residing in other parts of the county. With a divided vote in Coffeyville the chance for securing the office for one of our townmen is lessened. We should unite on one man and give him the largest possible majority. In determining to whom we should give our support and votes it TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 24, 1908. is well to look the situation over carefully. Which one of the Coffeyville candidates will make the best race in all parts of the county? Which one has the wider acquaintance over the county? Which one is more entitled to the nomination? Which one has done the most work for the party in Coffeyville and Montgomery county? These and many other questions suggest themseherselves in this connection. We answer all these questions in one way and with the name of the candidate to whom we give our unqualified support, and whom we urge all our readers to vote for Roy T. Osborn. We have believed all along that Roy Osborn will be successful in his race, and we feel that he should have the undivided supports of Coffeyville. Roy T. O-born is practically a Kansas product, his parents having moved to this state in 1879 when he was about five years of age. He experienced all the trials and tribulations incident to early life in the short grass country of Western Kansas, but by diligent application and perseverance he secured a thorough school training. After completing a public school course, he attended the Kansas University, where he graduated both in the collegiate and law courses. After his admission to practice in the district and supreme courts, he took up his residence in Coffeyville and immediately sought to establish himself in the practice of his profession. His time and energies ever since have been directed along these lines. During his eight years residence in Montgomery county he served two years in the appointive office of assistant county attorney. He has practiced extensively in the courts of Oklahoma and before the Department of Interior, and is regarded as an able, successful lawyer. No one questions his qualifications for the office he is seeking. Although he has always been an active Republican, Roy has never before asked for a nomination to any office. His political work began before he had attained his majority, and has continued consistently and uninterruptedly. He has served twice as secretary of the county central committee, and has repeatedly served on the city central committee. Mr. Osborne is regarded as one of the hardest working Republicans in Coffeyville. He has taken an active part in every campaign during his residence in the county. He does not aspire to be a political leader, but he is found always ready and willing to contribute freely of his time and energy and means in his party's cause. In his campaign Mr. Owborn is not going on the theory that the party owes him anything, but he does believe that some men are more entitled, are in better position to ask for a party nomination than others. Not is he asking the other purely as a matter of charity, or because he has no business or profession of any kind, or merely because his father is a veteran of the war of the rebellion. He does believe that each candidate for this office should stand on his individual merits and qualifications. Through residence in the state and work for the party and personal qualification or the lack of these, a candidate is either entitled to the nomination or CONTINUED ON PAGE 4.

During his term of office as mayor, Leavenworth had the reputation of being the cleanest and best managed city in the Western country, and gave the city the best business administration in its history. One of his many projects in Congress is to secure authorization MR. PORTER IN THE SENATE! The Southern Kansas Leader and Statesman Will Again Be Seen at the State House. Lion. S. M.

He also has large farming interests in Leavenworth, Atchison and Nemaha counties which he operates successfully. Mr. Anthony was one of the pioneers in the movement for a direct primary law, and exerted his influence to secure the enactment of the measure. He has no opposition at the coming primaries and will again be chosen to represent the First district in the next Congress.

Mr. Porter is a friend of the laboring people and is interested in financing and promoting things that will give labor to the working class. He has always been a strong advocate of the rights of the colored people and one of their staunchest friends. It is the duty of the people of his district to return him to the Senate as he has always been found voting for the interest of his constituents and the people of Kansas Senator Porter [Signature] will be nominated and elected. He has done more for Southern Kansas than any man ever elected to the Senate from this section. In our rounds over his district, we have yet to find a colored man who is against Senator Porter.
