BAILEY WORKERS
■I FIGHT TO
NEARBY TOWNS
Invade Territory Adjacent
to San Antonio in Strenu-
ous Campaign.
TO SPEAK FRIDAY
Large Crowds Gather to
Hear Men Talk for
Senator.
Determined to make the fight a win-
ning one and equally desirous of car-
rying the campaign right up to the last
minute speakers favoring Joe Bailey for
governor of Texas invaded towns lo-
cated in territory adjacent to San An-
tonio Thursday night. Practically all
the speakers available will go on cam-
paign trips Friday night from the
Bailey beadquarters here and will there-
by wind up a most strenuous period of
campaigning.
E. D. Henry and F. A. Chapa spoke
Thursday night at Laredo and accord-
ing to report from tbat town received
at the Bailey headquarters. Friday
morning it is predicted tbat Webb
county will vote a majority for Mr. I
Bailey of a least HO per cent. The 1
speakers at Laredo were introduced by !
Mr. Leyendccker of the Organixed Order I
of Hailway Conductors who also pre-1
sided at the meeting which was charac-
terised by a large and enthusiastic at-
tendance. LaSalle and Zapata coun-
ties also reported going strong for
Bailey and a majority is predicted in
both of these counties.
Large Crowds Hear Speakers.
Other speakers Thursday night in-
cluded A. J. Bell who spoke to a large
crowd at Lavernia; Tom Martin at
Yancey Medina county and John W.
Bailey who spoke at Waelder. A large
crowd also heard W. T. Bagby speak
at Gonzales Thursday night Judge
Howard Templeton spoke at Harlingen
Thursday night.
Advance .peaking engagements an-1
nounced Friday night include those of
John W. Bailey who speaks at Pear-!
sail Friday night; Judge Templeton at
Baymondville. Friday night and Judge
O. Ellis at Charco Friday afternoon.
One of the most gratifying reports
that could have come in to Bailey head-
quarters was that brought in by C. L.
Mason who happened to be in Vau
Ormy. Thursday night where a ‘‘large
Neff meeting" was held. Mr. Mason said
that printed circulars announcing the
Neff rally had been sent to residents in
and around Van Ormy several days be-
fore. but when the time came for the
speakers to make their address there
were by actual count two persons in
the hall and one outside. This is con-
sidered a record attendance and goes
to show the attitude of Bexar county
people toward Neff.
Ellis Returns From Tour.
Judge O. Ellis has returned from a
tour of DeWitt and Jim Wells coun-
ties where he reports meetings were
Bailey Says
Bailey says “Who’s Whb” is infallible and entitled to
more credit than a mother’s oath or a family Bible. “Who’s
Who says Bailey resides in Washington D. C. and that he
was born in 1863. The records of the University of Vir-
ginia and of Congress show that Bailey gave his birth date
as 1862. Bailey does not seem to know his age or his resi-
dence and for a long time had doubt about his real name
which in his younger days was “Jos. E. Bailey” but is now
Joseph Weldon Bailey.
Neff’s mother’s affidavit the family Bible and affidavits
of friends and neighbors show beyond doubt that Neff was
born November 26 1871 and was therefore not within the
draft age. Everyone knows that Bailey is simply trying to
divert the public mind from his own war record especially his
refusal to aid in the sale of Liberty Bonds.
On next Saturday go to the polls and rid Texas of
Baileyism forever. Bailey was repudiated in May Ist con-
ventions at the Dallas convention at the San Francisco con-
vention at the July 24th primaries and on August 28th the
job will be finished by a Neff majority of not less than
60000 and Bailey will sell his lone cemetery lot in Gaines-
ville and return to his mansion on the Potomac.

San Antonio’s claims for a branch

ceive the support of Judge W. F. Ram-
sey. president of the eleventh district
Federal Reserve Bank at Dallas^ Judge
Ramsey was a guest of the Kiwanis
Club at the Gunter Hotel Friday noon
and in an address before the club de-
clared that it would be a pleasure this
fall to present San Antonio's petition
for a branch to the Federal Reserve
Board and urge that the city’s claims
receive full consideration. He said the
welfare of San Antonio is as dear to
him as that of Dallas or any other city.
Judge Ramsey said he felt assured
the financial system of the United
States is sound and tbat though money
is close with big crops coming if the
producer will bear his share of the
burden he can assure them that the
bankers will furnish the necessary fi-
nancial aid and that no worthy business
or enterit ise will suffer. .
The speaker said he believed tn being
an “apostle of intelligent optimism.' Hr
said there has not been a national bank
failure in Texas in nineteen months.
He expressed confidence in the sanity
of the American people and said he be-
lieved the American character will come
out of a crisis finer ana Better.
Judge Ramsey took the opportunity
offered to “wonder if San Antonio banks

“They will have an opportunity in

can party.
“Incidentally they will have a chance
next week to indicate the source of
their own money both of their national
committee and other agencies outside of
their national committee raising money
to try to aid in Candidate Cox's elec-
tion."
Replying to Mr. Hays’ statement
George White chairman of tbe Dem-
ocratic National committee said:
“The mask is off. The plau is ob-
vious. Governor Cox has reudei^i a
distinct service to the country.
“It is up to the senate investigating
committee to give the public additional
information and figures which Hays aud
Treasurer Unbani of the Republican na-
tional committee have. Information thus
given before a Republican investigating
committee will only serve to emphasize
the fact which Governor Cox lias al-
ready called to public notice.”
COX GIVES G. O. P. DATA.
Supports SlSoootoo Charge by Show-
ing Figures That Total $8145000.
Pittsburg Pa„ Aug. 27.—Information
to support his charges that a campaign
fund to exceed $15000000 was being
raised "in conspiracy to buy the presi-
dency” was presented by Governor Cox
Democratic candidate for ptesident in
addressing a large meeting here Thuis
day night.
Governor Cox’s data consisted almost
entirely of matter taken from the “offi-
cial bulletin” of Fred W. Upham of
Chicago treasurer of the national Re-
publican committee but his chief exhibit
was a typewritten list purporting iu
show Republican quotas imposed on 51
principal cities in 27 states and aggie
gating $8145000.
Names of local subscribers Governor
Cox said were ordered kept secret.
These quotas given as $2000000 for
New York City. $750000 for Chicago.
$500000 for Philadelphia and ranging
down to $25000 for smallei cities hke
Albany. N. Y’„ were said by Governor
Cox to have been announced about the
middle of July.
Contrary to an intention announced
previously Governor Cox announced
that “he intended to pass this evidence”
to the senate campaign investigating
committee.
That Senator Harding bis Republi-
can opponent "is acquainted with tbe
details” of the quota plan and tbat it
was also approved by Mi? H. Haye
chairman of tbe Republican national
committee was charged by the Demo-
cratic candidate.
Quotes Republican Reports.
From subsequent issues of the <4ll-
- Bulletin Governor Cox quopa
many reports from Republican Workers
throughout tbe country reporting 'g<-
ing over the top” and in excess of the
alleged quotas.
Announcement of the $8145000 met-
ropolitan quotas Governor Cox saJ.
was made by Harry M Blair as assist-
ant to Treasurer Upham. A meeting
was held in Chicago. Govern r Cox said
at which Will H. Hays chairman of the
Republican national committee spoke
bis blessings.
The governor charged that typewrit-
ten sheets bearing the 51 Citics’ quotas
were "distributed to those assembled”
and be produced one of tbe alleged
quotas lists but did not state how or
where it was acquired. The quota pian
he said was carried out like tbat of u.e
Liberty loan campaigns.
That the reputed attempt to raise $?.-
145.000 from 51 cities in 2i of the 48
states is fair evidence that the t"U>
national fund will be much larger was
declared by Governor Cox who said b.g
business men are prominent on the Re-
publican ways and means committee
and that tbe raising of tbe funds is oo
a business "salesmanship” basis.
Not to Be Disturbed.
Governor Cox also quoted from state-
ments in tbe Republican bulletin that
state and county organizations were not
to be "disturbed or retarded in their
activities.”
Calling attention to Chairman Hays'
statement that $3000000 was being
raised. Governor Cox said Thursday’s
papers carried a statement from Treas-
urer Upham that the Republican total
will be about $7500000.
"From the evidence which we shall
submit” he added. ”1 think you will
agree we are justified in multiply: ig
Mr. Upham's figures by two.”
Governor Cox standing staunchly by
bis charges that an attempt to purchase
the presidency was being made de-
clared tbat ."the senatorial oligarchy
aud their friends are harking back to the
days of Mark Hanna.” fating tbat in
the 1896 campaign which Mr. Hanna
managed. $10500000 w.as spent.
“It was this foul thing” said Gov-
ernor Cox "which Theodore Roosevelt
brought to an end when he reformed the
Republican party. When he was doing
it Warren G. Harding branded him as
an Aaron Burr.”
“J charge again an assault on the
electoral*” said Governor Cox. It
cant be hidden; tbe hosts are mar-
shalled : tb<- money ammuntion is re-
pared. but it will not succeed. Tbe uit
is spread in sight of the quarry. What
is the game except to becloud the public
mind on the subject of the League of
Nations issue and world peace?”

Total $8145000.
On the question ot keeping secret
local subscriptions Governor Cox quot-
ed from the official bulletin of Augu: I
16 as follows:
“The names and amounts subscribed
by local donors should not be made pub-
lic locally.”
“I hereby give it wide and non-ex-
clusivc publicity” be continued “but
why was tbe publication to be only the
organ of the secret society? Why were
the names of local contributors not to
be made known? Was it because ench
contribution would carry its own mean-
ing to tbe voters in the local coinin' ni-
ties or if secrecy were guaranteed in
the communities were Mr. Hays and
Mr. Upham to do the same thing in
submitting their returns on box office
receipts? I certainly think there is
some reason. What is it? The public
is entitled to know. If Mr. Hays and
Mr. Upham do not come forward with
tbe information tbe Republican national
committee ought to remove them both
and insist upon a clean bill of health.
"Furthermore there should be some
explanation of this being made purely
a business affair participated in by
business men and business men only.
Unexplained it carries its own con-
demnation and exposes the purpose of
the whole shameful business. It means
that the quota is to be assessed against
those who are to benefit and that the
captains of industry who have answered
Mr. Hays' roll call are submitting to
taxation with the understanding tbat
they will have representation.”
Quota Plan Approved.
Tbe quota plan. Governor Cox
charged was approved by Chairman
Hays and Treasurer Upham and also
he added it received endorsement from
a higher source.
Quoting from “a message” written by
Senator Harding in the officail bulletin
of August 5 Governor Cox said Senator
Harding expressed his gratitude "for the
enthusiasm shown” in raising the cam-
paign fund.
"That Mr. Harding is acquainted with
the details is evidenced by a subsequent
passage.” said Governor Cox "which
is as follows:
“ ‘Through the fine work of your
organization we are nearing that form
of political patriotism which expressed
itself in support from every county
every state. Therefore I want all mem-
bers of your organization to feel that
their efforts are essential to our success
in planning for national enlightenment
and deeply appreciated by me.’ ”
Governor Cox said he depended
“wholly lor the purpose of making proof
of his charges’’ on official documents
which came from Republican headquar-
ters.
Discussea Industrial Problems.
Besides bis statement on Republican
finances the governor discussed the
League of Nations and industrial prob-
lems. urging settlement of strikes with-
out the bayonet. .
"The ‘normalcy’ voiced by their cand-
idate as visioned by his masters” said
Governor Cox in this connection refer-
ring to Senator Harding "is bayonets
at tbe factory door unrestrained prof-
iteering at the gate of the farm—the
burden of government on shoulders other
than their own and the Federal Reserve
system an annex to big business. When
the American people fully grasp the
sinister menace hanging over them they
will shun it as a plague.”
Returning to the campaign fund ques-
tion Governor Cox reminded his au-
dience in order he said to reach an
understanding that a recent contribu-
tion of large sums by business interests
began in tbe case of Senator Newberry
of Michigan. His present charges he
declared of a fund "so stupendous as to
exceed tbe l*alm of legitimate expense
meant but one thing; imminent danger
of an odious and corrupt campaign."
The Newberry Case.
Senator Newberry he continued was
convicted in a Republican state and a
Republican community before a Repub-
lican judge grand and petit jurist. The
Newberry charges Governor Cox noted
also were denied.
"One would have thought” said the
speaker "that this experience would
have had its restraining influence on
subsequent events but the resolve ot
certain interests to take over the affairs
of our government amounts apparently
to mania. Unaffected by the Newberry
episode money was spent after it had
been collected from business interests
in the pre-convention campaign in such
sums that the whole country was
shocked by the scandal. Millions of
dollars admittedly were expended in be-
half of its candidates.
"The Newberry affair and the pre-
liminaries to the Republican national
campaign are now admitted public
facts. They are counted as first symp-
toms of an inla.uitous contagion that
continues. Judging the future by tbe
past the people must bring it to an
end. Nothing apparently except tbe
stiff shock of expressed public con-
demnation at the polls will be effective.
Tbe Newberry lesson went unheeded
by the interests behind presidential can-
didates in the spring and early sum-
mer of IU2O and tbe admonition which
tbe multiplied circumstances of the very
recent past would ordinarily carry to
the normal mind is insufficient to stay
the hand of greed of conspiracy aud
corruption which it is now my duty to
exi»ose.”
Backed by Business Men.
Governor Cox recited how tbe Re-
publican ways and means committee
was organized last December and its
work be sai<J was "vigorously pushed.”
its local chairmen he said were "busi-
ness men in most instances very
wealthy men.”
In this connection he quoted from
a letter from John Kirby Jr. chair-
man of tbe Dayton (Ohio) committee of
February 7 stating "this ia purely a
business man’s movement.”
"It took on the impetus of a com-
mercial enthusiasm’’ Governor Cox con-
tinued.
"The philosophy running through all
the literature ia emphasized by the re-
current terms of salesmanship. Tbe
plan was not only to organize every
state but every county. Definite quotas
were established in precisely the same
manner as the liberty campaigns were
conducted; population and bank de-
posits apparently bdug the base of cal-
culations. In addition to the local
chairman state managers were engaged
traveling representatives operated be-
tweA them and the community organi-
zations; salaries running as high as
$5OO a week and expenses have been
paid to create and maintain enthusiasm
ami morale. An official document was
published intended as it will later be
shown for the eyes exclusively of the
men and corporations who are a part of
the movement.”
HAS MORE EVIDENCE.
Governor Cox Will Make Further "Ex-
poses” of G. O. P. Fund.
New York Aug. 27.—Governor Cox
Democratic presidential nominee indi-
cated today that he would make further
”cx)>oses" of Republican campaign
funds within a week.
Governor Cox arrived here from
Pittsburg this morning on his way to
New Haven where lie is to deliver an-
other address.
Mr. Cox was eating breakfast when
his private car rolled into the Pennsyl-
vania station. George White chair-
man of the Democratic national com-
mittee. Senator Harrison of Mississippi
head of the speakers' bureau and other
Democratic leaders stepped aboard the
train to greet the standard bearer of
their party.
Pausing here for scarcely more than
an hour on his way from Pittsburg to
New Haven Governor Cox conferred
with party leaders on the effects of his
speech in Pittsburg last night at which
he presented information bearing on his
charge that Republicans were raising a
$15000000 fund to “buy” the presi-
dency. Then just before his train pull-
ed out. he received newspaper men.
Asked if he would press bis charges
further Mr. Cox replied:
To Give More Proof
"Yes you will have new leads in a
week I think.”
Referring to an announcement from
Will H. Hays chairman of the Repub-
lican national committee that individ-
ual contributions will be restricted to
$lOOO Mr. Cox said:
“Mr. Hays knows that such a state-
ment isn't true. The methods used by
Republicans are to get some big fellow
to give $20000 or $25000 after which
10 or 20 dummy names are written
down as contributors on the party's
books. No one needs to worry about
my not naming the sources of the funds
which I have accused the Republicans
of raising."
Mr. Cox said that if the senate com-
mittee investigating campaign funds
really wishes him to appear before it in
Chicago he will do so.
“The senate committee now has the
necessary leads. If it wishes to inves-
tigate it will call in Republican state
leaders and learn from them who the
county and city leaders are and then
get all the details. I have every con-
fidence that the senate committee will
go to the bottom of my charges.
Own Money Will Defeat G. O. P.
“A year ago I said that the Repub-
licans were going back to the methods
of Mark Hanna and that they would
be defeated with their own money. This
is stiil iny belief.”
When Governor Cox was asked about
reports concerning Democratic national
finances of a year ago he said:
“I came on board the Democratic
ship July 7. I know nothing about
what happened before that time. One
thing I can tell you though is tbat
I found a deficit but no money.”
Among Democratic leaders to greet
Mr. Cox. who did not leave his car
were Homer 8. Cummings former
chairman of the Democratic national
committee. James M. Cox Jr. now a
student in a military academy also was
at the station.
CHAMBER TO MOVE
Will Occupy Quarters at Nueces Hotel
Until Home Is Completed.
The offer of the Nueces Hotel to give
the Chamber of Commerce temporary
shelter has been accepted. The chamber
will be moved into the first floor of
the hotel at 511 St. Mary's street
Monday. It will occupy these quarters
until the new home of the Chamber of
Commerce corner of Crockett and Tx>-
soya streets is remodeled it was an-
nounced by Ralph Burke acting secre-
tary of the chamber. This remodeling
of the building which was partially de-
stroyed by fire last winter will take
about two months as the widening of
Losoya street will take several feet off
tbo side of the structure.
Rome ral from the present location at
the corner of Navarro and West Com-
merce streets is necessitated by tbe wid-
ening of Navarro street. Tbe entire
building will be razed.
