F. C. WEINERT FOR BAILEY
To the Editor.
On August 28th I shall vote for
Hon. Joseph Bailey, because I be-
lieve in the principles for which he
stands: “Constitutional government
and equal rights to all and special
privileges to none.”
‘ I shall vote for Hon. Joe Bailey
because no man guesses what he is
voting for in voting for him. I shall
vote for him because he has the
courage to express his convictions
regardless of whom it may please or
displease. Every voter may not
agree with Mr. aBiley, but at least
every voter has a chancg to know
just how far he disagrees, and in
voting for him he votes for no hid-
den danger. He knows how much he
concedes in difference of opinion,
and for the immense courage, sur-
passing ability and steadfast convic-
tion of Mr. Bailey, every voter must
agree that he might well concede
much.

That old time staunch demo-
crat Mr, F. C. Weinert has come
out in support of Joe W. Bailey
and urges everybody to vote for
him in the run off primary on
August 28. So they all fall into
line one by one.
HOW PONZI WORKS.
He invested in what are known as
international reply coupons. .Tor
example, a six-eent coupon could be
bought in Madrid for one cent of
our money and when brought here
must sell for five cents, which,
leaves a penny to the Spanish gov-
ernment for profit. The norma!
value of an Austrian krone is 20
cents, but the market price in Vi-
enna is 70 cents a hundred kronen.
Accordingly, when Ponzi sent $1000
to Vienna he buys with it a draft
for 140,000 kronen. These he turn-
ed into international reply coupons
at the normal rate of four for each
kronen. Getting 560,000 coupons
he exchanges them in Switzerlano
for 140,000 Swiss francs, with which
he buys a draft on New York at the
rate of 51& francs for a dollar. This
yields him $25,000.
Who is he? How does he do it?
Is he crooked? Is he straight?
These are the sole subjects of con-
versation in this city.
Eight months ago he was even
minus a bank account, a sixteen dol-
lar a week clerk—now he is Charles
Ponzi, the great banker, the multi-
millionaire, owner of much real es-
tate, including a palatial residence
in historic Lexington, principal
holder of stock in one of Boston’s
largest banks, with tremendous
banking accounts in more than a
dozen banks, reputed to have mad'
$8,500,000 in eight months and turn-
ing over more and more every day
Calm, collected, he grants inter-
views to all newspaper men, to all
State and city authorities—and
hands out cash to pay his maturing
petes. Of insignificant appearance,
with the swarthiness and heaviness
iypieal of his Italian countryman,
, aiwhys with 4 genial smile, he
conducts his ohe-ttiiHibtt-dollhr i day
“Home-Loviug Women of Texas Must Vote For
J. W. Bailey.” ^
business as if it were nothing at all.
“I’m not crazy for money,” says
Ponzi. “Not crazy to spend it for
anything and nothing. I am rich
I help others to get rich.” —Liter-
ary Digest.
Haven’t heard anything shout
Pershing getting any sudden attack
of chills over Villa’s statement about
how nearly he (Villa) came to an-
nihilating the American expedition
when it went into Mexico. One great
American statesman once declared
■that “the pen is mightier than the
sword” and Villa has probabl,- de-
cided that he was right. He’s trying
it out, anyway.---Schuleaberg
Sticker.
Surely people of Texas may well
wonder what manner of hot air the
ring politicians in their last desper-
ate effort against Senator Bailey
will try to put over. . . First, in
May they said Senator Baileys name
would not be on the teiket but every-
body knows it was. . . After the
May primaries they chuckled in
high glee and said, “He’ll never go
on with the race.” He not only
went on, but ran ahead of the field.
. . . Then when business called
him to Washington they told us,
“Hes gone to stay,” but to their ev
erlasting sorrow he is back fight-
ing the battle of Texas Democracy
They said he would never get into
the run off, but he got in as High
Man. . . They howled that “Bai-
ley is dead.” If so, he is the livest
ghost they’ve ever seen. Now they
krib-vy they are licked so theyre going
way back to dig up the old hue and
cry that Bailey can not be seated.
Why raise that question now? It
admits one thing, and only one—
they fear Bailey will beat Neff on
August 28th.
Houston, Tex., Aug. 21.—The
home lovitfg women of Texas
must come out to the primaries
on Aug. 28 and yote for Joseph
Weldon Bailey for governor, says
a statement from Mrs. Joseph A.
Hautier, county chairman of the
women’s Bailey committee.
The statement continues, in
part: Mr. Bailey has always held
woman in the highest regard. In-
deed, it was his high 'esteenufor
the womanhood of the country
that was greatly responsible for
his opposition to woman suffrage
in the past. Ha believed that pol-
itics might degrade us. While I
do not agree with him on this one
issue, I think his point was well
taken,
Mr. Neff and his supporters
have held the liquor bogey before
the 1 women of Texas so as to
frighten them to such an extent
that they would be unable to use
their reason and would vote their
prejudices instead. Twenty years
ago Mr. Bailey “stumped” the
stats for prohibition. He has
since then supported every can-
didate for governor of Texas who
has run on the prohibition ticket,
including Mr. Thomas H. Ball.
Mr. Bailey has in all of bis
speeches during the present cam-
paign said: “I could not bring
whiskey back to Texas if I want-
ed to do it.”’
Mr. Neff has called Mr. Bailey
a slacker. The facts show that
Mr. Bailey gave more to his
country during the war than did
Mr. Neff. Mr. Bailey gave with
no thought of personal gain. His
two sons volunteered for active
service and served throughout
the war. Mr. Bailey bought
liberty bonds 'for himself and
every member of his family
from each issue as it appeared.
Signed, Mrs. Jos, A. Hautier,
Chairman of Executive Commit-
tee of Women’s Bailey Club of
Harris Co., Texas and 87 others.
