ran on the Populist ticket and got
beaten, then came back to the Demo-

Bailey Men.
To the Editor of The Record:
Joshua, Texas, April 13.-- From So-
clallst headquarters at Tyler we gain
some information of the unscrupulous
work of the anti-Balley factions. From
this source we find the more thought-
ful and decent Socialists [ are doing
what they can to keep their more
thoughtless members from belng "in-
fluenced by that political fAetlon"
into taking part in the primary May 2.
The article I refer to appears in the
Appeal to Reason of April 11 It says:
"Many new members and others who
have recently declared themselves So-
cialists. knowing that nil Socialists are
opposed to such men as Joe Bailey are
allowing themselves to be Influenced
into taking part in the political move-
meat to beat Joe Bailey in the Face
for delegate to the Democratic conven-
tion.”
This action of the enemies of Mr
Bailey in seeking aid from other po-
litical parties, amounts to a confession
that their actions are not Democratic
and that they are in the minority.
How Mr Baileys enemies must feel
at the rebuke given them by the de-
cent. thoughtful Socialists may depend
upon the amount and quality of con-
science (7) they possess.
Here is what these Socialists say:
"‘Comrades, do not be led into this
ecrap. It_Is.not..rour right. Do not
join in ahti-Balley club and do not
vote in their May election. They are
a political faction, and to go into it >«

Political Nondeseripts Leading Figh
on Bailey.
To the Editor of The Record.
Van Zandt County, Texas. April 18.-*
This voting box is a mixture of So-
cialists. defunct Populists and Mug-
wumps, who are making their brag*
that they are going to vote against
Bailey to bust up the Democratic par-
ty. So you can see now that they
can vent their spleen against the Dem-
ocratic party at the same time putting-
down the man that they dread more
than any other man in the Democratic
party.
One anti told me yesterday that he
Was going to vote against Bailey to
get him out of their way, and those
men will not vote in the July primary,
no, not one of them is this a fair
test of the Democratic vote of Texas:
Answer it yourselves Are you not
strengthening the hand that I* throt-
Hng your own throat?
Men that do not want a fair deal
are pushing this thing to extreme*
and leading men astray who are not
well up on politics
in conclusion I will say that if there
is but one Bailey vote at this box you
may know that Virgil Henson voted it.
I want to say that I write this after
studying the question from beginning
to end and not wishing to be hard
on anybody, but wish to give warning
as I see it. I am an old man. have
been a close observer of political
affairs all my life, and I fear that you
are fast drifting to political destruc-
tion VIRGIL HENSON,
Old Confederate.
What think you of such Democrats?
The paper then adds:
“Then let him win the fight. For
Bailey to get beat is one of the worst
things that could happen for us. If
they beat this Joe Bailey, another Joe
Bailey will spring up to take his
place Let 'em fight. Watch ’em fight
Yell slek ’em Tigs,’ but don’t let the

This wind-up of their article, as
though they were a paek of dogs led
by ’Tige’ need* no comment.

I will go back just a little. Judge
Cockrell once said he thought it very
strange that we should deem a nomina-
tion binding upon us. Every man in
this state with common intelligence
knows that one of the pledges of our
party is to stand by the nomine*. Now.
If it is binding upon us to support the
nominee I consider it far more binding
upon us to uphold and defend the no-
ble champion who is to represent us
in the grandest body of the.greatest
republic that adorns the. map of th*
world.

Utterly Uncalled for, Being Prompted
by Envy and Mallee.
To th*- Editor of The Record.
Senator Bailey's enemies have been
very energetic and determined in
bringing tne Bailey question right
where Senator Bailey has all along
wanted it—back to the people He has
always stood and standfl today ready
and willing to bow his head in manly
submission to the wiM of the majority
of the Democratic voters of this state,
but he is not and never will be willing
to bow to Davidson, Senter, Cockrell,
Crawford and company.
The voice of the people was heard
and obeyedand he was sent back to
Washington. It will be heard again
May 2, and he will be sent to Denver.
I think the man or set of men who
will continue to hound and harrass
one of our high officials as they are
Senator Bailey are entirely lacking
in party loyalty and state pride.
I frequently read articles from men
who claim they have heretofore been
Bailey’s friends, but are now convinced
that he has been guilty of wrong doing
and cannot longer support him. There
may be a few exceptions, but as a rule
those who are most active in this un-
just war on Senator Bailey have al-
ways been against him and always will
as long as ho holds the high place in
the hearts and affections of the people
that he now occupies, for envy and
malice never quit until they either ex-
haust themselves or destroy the object
at which they atm their poisoned ar-
rows. Senator Bailey may have done
some things that seemed imprudent; he
may have done some things that would
have been a temptation to weaker men,
but so far as it applies to him, per-
sonally and individually. I do not, I
will not, I cannot believe he has ever
used his power and influence in viola-
tion of his pledge to the people who
honored him with their sacred trust.
Some one falsely and unjustly said that
if you stick a knife into the Standard
Oil company you would draw blood
from Bailey. If you ever draw blood
from Senator Bailey you will draw
some of the best and truest blood that

I a forceable reminder of the preserva-
tion of God's ancient people through
the vicissitudes of many eenturies;
while the memory of their various op-
pressors in the ages that are passed
have been almost obliterated.
Where are the Assyrian* and th*
Chaldeans? Their existence is known
only in history. Where s the empire
of the Egyptians? The Macedonian*
destroyed it, and a descendant of IW
ancient race cannot be distinguished
among the strangers who Pos8e8S It*

The Roman sword subdued their king-
dom, and their posterity are mingled
inseparably among the confused popu-
lation of Greece and Turkey. Where is
the nation of ancient Rome, the last
conquerers of the Jews, and the proud
destroyers of Jerusalem?
The Goths rolled their flood jN’er KB

ancient capital citv. Even the ian"

The Goths! Where are they? .The

witnessed the glory of Egypt, and of
Babylon, and of Nineveh; thy were
at mature age at the birth of Macedon
and Rome.
Mighty kingdoms have risen and per-,

and enslaved: and now they traverse
the ruins of all, the same people a*
when they left Judea, preserving in
themselves a monument of the days of
Moses and the Pharaohs, aS unchanged
as the pyramids of Memphis, which
they are reputed to have built. You
will search in vain for one living rep-

of antiquity, by whom the people of
Israel were successively oppressed. But

. Reinhart. Dallas County, Texas.
April 19.—I have tried to give my no-
tion of the Bailey question through the
Dallas Dally News, but somehow the
article did not have the right ring
though I am a subscriber, paid up, of
the Dallas News. The News has pre-
tended to be exceedingly anxious to
give the whole situation unbiased and
has fooled hundreds of people like
myself, Into the notion that they were
exceedingly brod. Well, they are.
when it comes to slinging mud at Sen-
ator Bailey.
The present political agitation is only
a repetition of history to the shame of
men—our greatest men have undergone
the greatest amount of persecution.
Priest, prelate, reformer, inventor, ex-
plorer. educator nd all men who have
made their presence felt in this world
have been persecuted, lied about and
slandered. Even Christ was slandered*,
persecuted and finally slain.
I believe Senator Bailey to be the
greatest man of our state; yea. of our
Southland, and with all the contention,
not one of us can find fault with him.
In his record as a representative of our
people in the office he holds among
our people his record as a Democrat is
as clear as the-sun at meridian height.
Perfection on earth has never yet
been attained in this life, arid is not
promised only by Cone Johnson. Judge
Gerald and their crowd. They may
break the record and attain it politi-
cally.
That Senator Bailey is faultless 1b
not contended by hs supporters, but
we do contend that he stands out to-
day as the greatest man of his party
(Democratic) in all this state.
Then shall •we, as the greatest peo-
ple of the greatest state in our South-
land. lightly allow ourselves to be
drawn away from our moorings by a
lot of disgruntled politicians and ex-
tinguish the brightest light of our fir-
mament? No, I do not believe you will
do it.
Then let me appeal to you as a great
people, do not madly rush into this
fray, but let us show this nation that
Texas people know how to appreciate
men like Joe Bailey. We will cover
the mud slinger so deep in his own cor-
ruption that our nation will know that
Texas can and will drive every one
into obscurity that dares to disturb the
peace and greatness of the Democratic
party. Then our Senator Bailey will
shine out the brightest star in the fir-
mament of our great Southland.

done in the case of Senator Bailey. It
is not only an insult to Senator Bailey,
but to the Democracy of the state of
Texas. Of course, any man has a
right to come Jut before the people and
face his oppohent in all the charges
that he might have against him, and
not wait until he (his opponent) in
elected and installed Into office and
then begin to stab him In the back, as
the Bailey haters are now doing. Soon
after the Thirtieth legislature ad-
journed Representative Cocke can-
vassed North Texas trying to prejudice
the people against the junior senator
after he had been legally elected to
the senate,-in order to cripple his in-
fluence. In his speech at Greenville.
Cocke said that it was either through
the hope of reward or through fear
that caused Senator Bnfley's friends to
stand by him. We received his speech
contained in the Dallas News, and sent
the article to the same paper, but it
was returned and not published The
News will publish anything written
against Senator Bailey, but is very
careful about what it prints for him
Hence it naturally follows that their
opinions are gradually molded by read
ing everything against the senator and
nothing for him. Besides, there is a
large class of people in this world that
have no opinion of their own, but are
simply following the other fellow. That
is all right if the other fellow hap-
pens to be right, but if he happens
to be wrong, then the whole push is
wrong. That is demonstrated in the
different religious sects. The Lord
established one church on earth, and
there are now said to be about 600 dif-
ferent sects, all claiming to be the
church, and if the devil were to come
along and organize a church, he would
get members. So it is in politics. A
shrewd polftician like Tom Watson or
William Randolph Hearst can always
“get a following. But the leaders of the
anti-Balley gang are a set ef bolting
office-seekers, who will not let any-
thing rest after it has been settled bv
the majority. The most of them have
been personal enemies of the junior
senator ever since he defeated their fa-
vorite for the senate. They have
thrashed the old straw over and over,
until the people are getting perfectly
tired. When the Investigation was
over and Bailey was exonerated, the
people had a right to expect rest on
the subject. B. E. MARTYRS.

New York Times.
.Colonel Henry Bagley of Raleigh, N.
- is in the city. Colonel Bagley is
tne business manager of Colonel Jose-
phus Daniels' famous Bryan-molder,
the Raleigh News and Observer.
“Are Colonel Bryan and Colonel Dan-
iels still anxious to save the party?"
he was asked.
"Sho’ly, suh.” replied Colonel Bagley.
Colonel Bagley is sharing a suite of
rooms with Colonel Hunter, a North
I arolina capitalist, at a downtown ho-
tel. .. .
“Are the North Carolinians still eager
to neo Bryan neminated?" Colonel Hun-
ter was asked after Colonel Bagley
had evinced his disinclination to dis-
cuss politics.
“Ah’ll tell yo’, suh," replied Colonel
Hunter. "There’s only one new thing
that s happened in North Ca’lina re-

the true philosopher seeks for the
cause and applies th* remedy. A few
days since a gentleman asked us why,
being a very prolix if not a profound
writer, we did not espouse the com-
missioners’ cause. Our answer to him
is also applicable to the one why Fort
Worth is not as loyal to its own as
is Dallas. Because the little things
which go to make up a handsome whole
are either scoffed at or entirely ig-
nored by our board. Nothing would
reach the hearts of the people quicker
and cement them closer to the powers
that be than the expenditure of the
large sums of monSy now used in fa-
vored localities for paving, in making
our present streets passable through-
out the city, by draining and filling'
quagmires, laying crossings to connect
inforced-built sidewalks without sense
or reason, while a swamp is left be-
tween for the weary footman to wade
through to reach the walk paid for by
himself, while the town is not out a
dollar to make the line continuous.
Reason No. 2 may be found in the fact
that no effort has been made to com-
pel the street car companies to sell
cheaper fares in quantities^ That
should reach scores Af hearts and'make
friends through pocketbooks. No. 3
can be traced to the fact that the
commission fired tons of blank cart-
ridges. filled only with ozone, at the
gas company and when it came back
with prepared shells, the commission
took to tn* woods because they didn't
know the old thing was loaded and
had not learned that it takes more
than noise and smoke to win battles.

North. South and East Texas all sent
big crowds to greet him wherever he
went, and it was all attributed to loy-
alty and fealty to him and his cause.
It remained for West Texas to be
prompted by the ignorant feeling of
curiosity to give to the man she honors
and believes in to go to hear him and
shake his hand and give the outpour-
ing of our hearts while others are
given the credit of a nobler motive.
He thought enough of us and our good
opinion to come among us to plead his
cause and refute the aspersions on his
good name, and we went to hear him
from curiosity-60 says the straddler
and fence-rider.
It is a slur cast on our people that
every self-respecting man, woman and
child in West Texas should resent. We
may be rough and uncouth and bois-
terous and curious, but the good silver
dollars that West Texas has put in the
coffers of the Dallas News were as
good for railroad fare of their reporter
who tries to place us in a false light
before the readers of that paper as any
that ever came out of th* most refined
or cultured home of any Dallasite.
I could ltave used the columns of i
our home paper (one of which I am as- I
sociated with), but our circulation is
too limited to let the people of the
state of Texa* know that at least one
citizen of great West Texas resents
such a slander on us.
