Scott Bullitt, Democratic National Com- mitteeman from ‘the State of Washingfon, candidate for United Slates Senator and Governor at recent elections, died suddenly at his home here Sunday. Death was due o complications following an atback of influenza. He was 54 years old. Tn 1926, Mr. Bullitt was & can- didate for the United States Sen- |TOW ate from 'Washington to succeed Senator Wesley L. Jones, At that time the following character sketch of Mr. Bullitt was written by Lewis C. Humphrey, of the Louis- ville (Kentucky) Herald-Post: “Kentuckians still talk of a young sheriff in Louisville who gave our city its first honest elec- tion after years of fraud and vio- {lence at the polls, “That young sheriff was A. Scott Bullitt, & member of one of Kentucky's oldest and best known families, who is now a can- didate in the State of Washing- ton for the United States Senate to succeed Hon. Wesley L. Jones. When ¢ppointed sheriff Mr. Bullitt was @& promising young attorney just out of Princeton University, with all the dynamic energy and enthusiasm which have since char- acterized his professional and po- litical lfe. A city and county election had been set aside by the Kentucky Court of Appeals for fraud and violence. The ap- pointment of the mew officials to fill out the unexpired terms lay in the hands of Governor J. C. V. Beckham, the leader of the reform forces in Kentucky at that time. At this crisis Governor Beckham appointed A. Scott Bullitt as sher- ifif of Jefferson County, at the in stance of Rev. Carter Helm Jones, then a leading minister of Louis~ ville—later of Seattle, Rev. John 8. Lyons, Richard W. Knott, then editor and owner of the Louisville Post and other leaders in the civ- ic life of Louisville. Returns To Law “After strenuous six months as sheriff Mr. Bullitt returned to the practice of law with the commen- dation of every good government body in Louisville. The Louisville Herald and the Louisville Post, then separate papers, the former a morning Republican paper, the latter an Independent afternoon paper, and the Courier-Journal, and the Times, Democratic papers, were all outspoken in their edi- torial praise of Mr. Bullitt's course in office. He left behind him a record in Louisville like that wiich Grover Cleveland left behind him as sheriff in Buffalo a genera- tion before. “Two years later he was eleot- ed County Attorney for Louisville and Jefferson Counties for a term of four years. He was indorsed four years later by re-election by a large majjority for another term. “As a lawyer, as a public offic- ial and subsquently as a Major in the Military Justice Division of the Judge Advocate General's De- partment, Scott Bullitt fulfilled ‘his early promise of ability, cour- age, integrity and high ideals, com- bined with the practical common sense so characteristic of the Bul- his family in Kentucky and Phil- delphia. Added to this was a gift of oratory and personal magne- tism and popularity with all class- es, which made him the outstand- in gpolitical figure in Louisville until he moved to the State of ‘Washington. “Ten years ago Scott Bullitt made a trip to Seattle to be best man at the wedding of his broth- er, Keith Bullitt. Six months lat- er Scott was married to one of the bridesmaids, Miss Dorothy Stm- son, the daughter of C. D. Stim- son of Seattle. Mr. and Mrs. Bu- Mitt returned to Louisville for a brief residence.

One slate was brought out by friends of Gov. Chavles W, Bryan, |who in 1924 was the panty's Vice Presidential nominee. The other slate was placed in the field by supporters of Willilam Ritchie, Jr., Omahla attorney and cousin of Gov. Albert Ritchie, who also seeks the Democratic gubernatorial nom- ination in Nebraska. Heading both slates is Gilbert M. Hitchcock, Omaha publisher and former United States Sena- tor. He has voiced his preference for Gov. Roosevelt. Pledges of support prior to the primary have been few. Governor Bryan has remained neutral in the Presidential race, venfuring the ob- servation that the nation would not go wrong either in Gamer, Roosevelt or Muway.
