Senator Bailey he Is supporting a
real man, great American and a
true iwtriot.
Mr. Knight said that Senator Hall-
ey had two sons In the war and had
lM)uj.,ht> Liberty Bonds to the limit of
his credit. He ask«il If any one had
heard of Mr. Neff buying any bonds,
nud added:.
"It makes no difference. If Mr,
Neff had bought a million dollars'
worth of bonds it would not make him
big enough to be Governor of Texas;
aud If he didn't buy any It would not
disqualify him,"
He called attention to the fact that
It had I teen planned to organize the
Neff forces at iNillaa last Friday
night, but that Bailey spoke there
that night and Neff became suddenly

why he should be elected Governor.
Ho said that Bailey had met his Tirst
defeat In the May primaries, the first
In his long public life, but that all of
tlit' speakers for Neff had suffered
defeat and that Thomas and Crane
especially are very sore.
After paying his respects to the Neff
speakers, individually and collective-
ly, Mr. Knight then took up the ntti
tilde of Mr. Bailey on the open*shop,
saying the labor Issue had not been
j raised by Bailey, but by the action of
the unions, and that Bailey is the
only eaifdidate who has given full and
definite replies to the questions .pre-
sented by the labor unions. "An open
shop is mi American shop." declared
Mr. Knight, "and a dosed shop is mi
anti-American shop."
The speaker declared that Neff s
prtnciiml boast Is that While n mem-
ber of the Texas legislature he :m-
swered every roll call,'while Bailey's
political record is -that he was the
leader of his pnrty in both branches
of Congress.

With every seal taken aud st a tiding

aggregation that staged the "Gypsy
Rover" at Central High Tuesday ev-
erting met with a most flaltiring re-
ception. The operetta v as under the
immediate direct Ion of Miss Mabel
Cocke, recreational aecretnuy for the
Travis Strict Methodist church.
The romantic story of the "Gypsy
Rover" runs thrllllngly through the
whole score, the owning scene Isdng
the gypsy camp at the evening hour.
Tbe heroine and her betrothed were
lost while out riding and wandered
Into the camp, and her ladyship pro-
ceeds to fall In love with Rob. the
son of the gypsy queen. Of course.
Rob became enamored of her. - sand
after many adventures his quondam
gypsy parents reveal his identity as
i the long lost Sir Gilbert Howe, and
Constance and he .follow tlw usual
I tent of l.oVe affairs, and marry.
| Miss Cocke played the part of Corv
i stance, aud Joe Ireland had the role
of Rub. iW Gypay RoVer. Miss L'ockc.
I was true to the part iu every line.
' and was 'specially effective in her
TliTgb^notes and long smtnlned
sages. Her part gave ample scope for
the display of histrionic talent, and
she measured up to it beautifully.
As the hero. Joe Ireland Was ft typi-
cal representative of the nomadic
tribe and his splendid-tenor voice
row* und fell In eadiwe with the
aplrlt of the Impassioned lover, lb-
sang his score flue feeling and
expression aud put uiueh realism Into
his gallant wooing of the nobleman's
fair daughter. S '
Miss Cocke has etsery reason : for
pride Tff tlje production. aniF crery 4-
member of the eaRt gave a most cred
Itable rendering of the assigned pjirts.'
T'nless more space were available it
would be impossible to Individualize. <
There was a large cast, and the en-,
spmble singing and acting were equal-1
ly meritorious, aud highly pleasing to
a large audience.
Charles Grinned made quite a hit
with his highly hiimoroiitf annuncia-
tions in which he Involved Miss Eve-
lyn Ahney. and they were much ap-
plauded.
