the expression was heard on all sides
after the speaking that he was unan-
swerable. Judge Maxey said that Cone
Johnson was a good fellow, but he had
heretofore had so much trouble keep-
ing him in line that he was afraid if
Cone should be sent to Denver he
might conclude that the man who
bears his name may be his kinsman.
Governor Johnson of Minnesota, who
has recently opened headquarters as a
candidate against Bryan, was the bet-
ter man of the two and vote for him.
This expression called forth vigorous
applause from the crowd.
Judge Maxey concluded his remarks
by referring to the disposition of some
of the anti-Bailey speakers to continu-

of scripture and that he had n

LAUGH AT LUFKIN.

Newspaper’s Juslins With Figures
Causes Amusement.
Lufkin, Texas, April 10.—(Special.)—
The Bailey men. of this city have had____
a good laugh over the article 14 the
Chronicle to the effect that the senator
did not have 100 supporters in the
county, which was signed by the mem-
bers of the Davidson club here.
The truth of the matter is that after
the first meeting of the Bailey club *
here, the list showed over 300 names,
the most of whom are .citizens of the
city and now the list shows over 500
names, and no effort has been made
since the meeting to get signers. The
Davidson club was organized while
nearly every citizen of the county was
in -town and they have only a little
over 200 names.
Friends of Senator Bailey here have
received letters from those of his
friends who visited Lufkin with him.
and all of them say that not only were
they well pleased with the reception
and crowd of that day, but that Sena-
tor Bailey was greatly surprised and
pleased that they should bring such a
large majority in his favor here on that
day.
personally known to every voter in
the audience, as he has represented
this county in the state senate for the
last six years. Senator Barrett took up
the old charges thst have been so
often made against Senator Bailey and
quoted from the testimony introduced
in the investigation to show that not
one of them had been sustained. He
showed that all of the committee had
found that Bailey was entirely exon-
orated except two, and those two mem-
bers—McGregor and Jenkins—in their
report did not claim that any testi-
mony was introduced showing Bailey
to be guilty of any corrupt act. He
quoted extensively from the report of
Judge Robertson, an anti-Balley mem-
ber of the committee, which conclu-
sively disposed of every charge made
against Senator Balley. It will be re-
membered that Judge Robertson was
the former law partner of Governor
James S. Hogg and the firm of Hogg A
Robertson were for three years at-
torneys for the Kirby Lumber com-
pany, the concern so often denominated
as a trust. Senator Barrett soon cap-
tured the attention of the crowd and
at times the laughter and applause
would continue for several minutes at
his sallies and his condemnation of the
leaders in the fight arAinst Refley end
the methods used against him. Sena-
tor Barrett said that Baileyism meant
he gloried in the
