making speeches asking the voters to elect Mr.
Neff and not Mr. Bailey as Governor of Texas.
The logic of this situation is that Mr. Miller
thinks Neff worse than Judas Iscariot but in
Heaven’s name what must he think of Bailey?
Mr. Miller believes that he would have a man
Governor of Texas that he wouldn’t trust as far
as he could throw a court house rather than Mr.
Bailey.
There is certainly a flaw in the appeal that we
should vote for Mr. Bailey because Looney and
Thomason and Miller, who have said hard things
against Mr. Neff, are still supporting him, choos-
ing him as the lesser evil.
If Looney and Thomason and Miller were re-
fusing to support Neff, then their statements
against him made previously would have weight.
But they are supporting Neff in preference to
Bailey. With all of Neff’s imperfections they
chose him rather than Bailey.
What must they think of Mr. Bailey?

about the present political campaign was that at
the big Bailey barbecue at Gainesville "Senator

not allowed to shoot. It would make an angel

“Builders of Better Credit”
This is the first opportunity that the Marshall people have had to get close
in acreage to a drilling well, right at their door, which is located on a well defined
and highly recommended structure. So why go away from home and invest your
money with unknown people and in an unknown field? WHY NOT PLACE A LIT-
TLE BET ON YOURSELF here at home where you can get the reports as to the
progress being made every day and see just what is going on and profit by getting
this informatidn first hand in case oil or gas is found? These are advantages
to be looked at and considered in this case for they are sometning that you never
had and something that you cannot afford to pass up.
If you haven’t any acreage near this well, now is the time to get it before
further developments justify an increase in the price.' If a man of moderate
means ever expects to get into the oil business and reap the large profits, he must
play the game ahead of the big fellow and get his acreage before the first well is
brought in; then, when the well does come in he has the lease that looks good to
the big fellows with the money and he can get his own price for it.
I think every person in Marshall who has $50.00 or more to invest at this
time should protect himself by getting a small piece of acreage on the structure
just east of the city, which is highly recommended by F. Julius Fohs of New York
City. Of course, I wouldn’t advise anybody to invest all of their money in any
one business acventure, but I do think that the.Marshall people are amply justified
in investing a little money in oil leases right here at home where they are going
to get a real 3,000 foot test well put down. Remember this, HE WHO NEVER
TAKES A CHANCE NEVER WINS. Don’t you think you should buy enough
acreage to protect yourself and share in t he big profits in case a well is brought in ?
Or do you want to be found among those who will be sitting and holding their
hands, praying and wondering why the Good Lord don’t favor them with a show-
er of good fortune? I say it is best to invest before the well is brought in.

It looks to The Morning News as though there
was something wrong in conclusions that the
"Harrison County Bailey Supporters” hoped the
readers would draw from a paid advertisement in
The News of Sunday. In order to prove Mr. Neff
was not a suitable man to be elected Governor,
the article called attention to the fact that Mr.
Looney and Mr. Thomason, had in the first cam-
paign, condemned Mr. Neff for riding on a free
pass on the railroads while making his canvass.
It is true that these gentlemen did bring this
charge and neither of them has retracted. They
are both honorable men and stand high as cit-
izens. They are men whose opinions should be
weighty with the voters of the state.
What are they doing now in this race between
Mr. Neff and Mr. Bailey? Both are making
speeches urging that Mr. Neff be elected and that
Mr. Bailey be defeated. They believe yet that Mr.
Neff should not have used a free pass in his can-
vass but when they weigh Neff and Bailey they
choose Neff The logical inference is that Mr.
Bailey must have been guilty of worse things
than riding on a free pass. Or at least Messrs.
Looney and Thomason must thing so.
Futher on in the article Mr. Barry Miller is
quoted in a speech he made before the first pri-
mary as comparing Pat Neff to Judas Iscariot
and saying that Judas was an angel compared
with Neff. Mr. Miller is further quoted as say-
ing that he “wouldn’t risk Pat Neff as far as I
could throw this court house.” So far as we know
Mr. Miller has never retracted that statement
and presumably still entertains this same opin-
ion of Mr. Neff.
But what is Mr. Miller doing now? He is

yesterday at the Sinclair well, three
miles west of Marshall. Streaks of oil '
appeared in the slusn pita and the ut-
most caution was being taken in drill-
ing operations. A geologist was on the
grounds watching developments. Drill-
ing was being carried forward very
slowly, careful washings and exami-
nations of the sands being made at
frequent intervals.
It could not be learned whether a
sufficient ahowing had been obtained
to make a test. It is understood, how-
ever, that the formation in which the,
will is now drilling is very favorable. I

Mr. Bailey continues to charge in his speeches
that his opponent, Mr. Neff, was within the draft
age and failed register as required by law. Mr.
Bailey made the charge on the evidence of a book
published by the State Librarian in which book
Mr. Neff’s birth was given as Nov. 26, 1372. Mr.
Bailey probably, on this evidence, was justified
in making the charge that he did. But in al'
conscience he should apologize now. The old Neff
family bible is the best evidence in all this world
as to Mr. Neff’s and there is reads: “PAT
MORRIS NEFF WAS BORN NOV. 26, 1871."
If that old book had shown “1872" instead of
“1871” it would be a very foolish supporter of
Mr. Neff who would claim that it was a false
entry. Can any fair minded supporter of Mr.
Bailey claim that the entry of 1871 is false?
And then as additional proof, the old gray
haired mother of Mr. Neff, the mother of nine
children, all of whose births are recorded in the
old bible, makes affidavit that her son, Pat M
Neff, was born Nov. 26, 1871.
The Morning News believes that the question
is settled and no fair, unprejudiced person will
longer claim that Mr. Neff was within the draft
age and therefore required to register. Politics
makes us all do some very inconsistent things
sometimes. It is all right for any man to vote
for Mr. Bailey who may desire to do so, but The
News can see no reason why this question of Mr.
Neff’s age should be further discussed. Mr.
Bailey should accept the evidence offered. We be-
lieve Pat Neff, if placed in the same situation
would hasten to apologize. If we though different
we could not support him.
The affidavit of a mother and the old family
bible is hard to combat.

Mr. Bailey is in a rather awkward position
regarding his employment by the Association op-
posed to National Prohibitions. It should be re-
membered that he acknowledged in his Covington
speech that he had accepted employment from
that association. Here is a copy of an original
confidential prospectus gotten out by that asso-
ciation under date of April, 1919:
“The Anti-Saloon League has planned a Na-
tion-wide speaking campaign to begin on or
about May 24th, after the first two days of its
annual convention in New York, the first meet-
ing of the convention being on May 19th. The
Association Opposed to National Prohibitions
purposes to follow, with its own speakers, the
speakers of the Anti-Saloon League, who are
headed by William Jennings Bryan. Among the
speakers whom the Association hopes to send out
are the following: W. Bourke Cochran; Former
U. S. Senator Joseph W. Bailey of Texas; the
Hon. Bainbridge Colby of New York; Charles A
Windle of Chicago; Father Duffy, chaplain of the
165th U. S. Infantry, A. E. F., formerly the 69th
Regiment of New York, and others. This speak-
ing campaign will cost not far from $70,000, in-
cluding halls, music, expenses of speakers and
the salaries of such as have to be paid. But
unless the effect of the speaking campaign of the
Anti-Saloon League is offset by the anti-prohibi-
tion campaign of the Association Opposed to Na-
tional Prohibitions, the latter might as well go
out of business. The money must be in the treas-
ury before the campaign begins.
“The Association has two immediate aims:
(1) To prevent the country from going on a
bone-dry basis on July 1st. and (2) to make the
eighteenth amendment forever .inoperative.”
It should be remembered that Mr. Bailey
rarely makes a speech in which he does not say
that ne “could not and that he would not if he
could bring whiskey back to Texas.”
At the same time he admits he was employed
by an association that has for its objects the
"Prevention of the country from going on a
bone-dry basis and to make the eighteenth
amendment forever inoperative.”
The eighteenth amendment is the prohibition
amendment.
We ask is it possible for Mr. Bailey to accept
money from an association that not only wants i
to bring whiskey back to Texas but wants to i
bring it back into every town and city and ham- i
let in America, and at the same time be in i
earrest when he tells us that he “wouldn’t bring ;
it back if he could”?
it looks like he was either untrue to his em- j
ployment or is untrue in his statement he makes •
to the Texas voters.
