1 ;','t,!hf:wV ST N I- 7 4. F! Mi i. - 1 THE 6 'Mystery Man' of x Administration Is From Texas F. E. Scobey, Unheralded Politician and Old Friend of Harding, to Be Second 'Man Friday of President. San AntonioXex.. Nov. 5. For the econd time in two tational ad ministrations to Texas has fallen the lot of furnishing the nation's "mys tery man." The first time he was Col. E. M. House of Austin, who became President Wilson's "man Friday." This time he is F. E." Scobey of San Antonio. And he is ,n "mystery mau" fight, this fellow Scobey, for unhonored and unsung, so far as national -politics go and the same might also be said of local politics, he has1)obbcd up and stolen President-elect Warren G. Harding and -is bringing him off to the land 61 ihe ctus ind the mcsquite tree to rest. Who is Scobey? What does he know about politics? How close is he to Harding, and what influence will he have in the next administra tion? Every one from Maine to Cali fornia wants to know. A"d there , re probably pnly two mei n the country who can answer their ques tions Harding and Scobey. This much may be said with cer tainty, however". Harding and ScoUcy ire friends of long standing. Their friendship dates from the days when Harding was a member of the Ohio state senate (1899-1903) and Scobey ,,.. fi..i. n( (he senate. And even those of the opposite political faith who know Harding well, admit he is a man to whom friendship means more than it does to most nen. Scobey, although h has not been actively engaged in politics since coming to Texas a number of vears ago. is not altogether a neophyte at the game. He knows hw to write a check, and when he writes one. there is no difficulty about cashing it. He has been consulted by those who. at different times have run re publican politics in Texas, but he has rarely taken off his coat, much eh mussed up his shirt. But when Harding became a can didate for the presidential nomina tion Scobey not only took off his coat, but he took off his shirt and got htoisclf elected a delegate to 'the national convention at Chicago, and all through that convention , while the remainder of the state's vote was bein split between Wood. Lowden and Johnson, Senator Harding got onevott from the Texas delegation and' Scobey 's wfisthe vede. Now Scobey is going -to take our next president down to Brownsville, Cameron cqitnty, Texas.
