Judge Walter Morris of Fort Worth
delivered an address at the courthouse
Friday night in the interest of the
candidacy ot former Senator Joseph
KV Bailey for the governorship of
Texas. The speaker was; Introduced by
by Judge E. C Harrell.
Judge Morris is a forceful speaker
and at times his .address bordered on
eloquence (particularly when he had
in hand the subject of State. Rights as
this famous doctrine was understood
and applied back in the days -of the
forefathers and the speaker was es-
pecially strong In his denunciation of
certain political fads and fancies of
this day and time which he declare
"were subversive 'of everything that
even looked like State Rights He
declared that In spite of the many at-
tempts of the opposition the great
political campaign now being waged
in. Texas bad in .reality narrowed It-
self down to one proposition and that;
proposition was "Should union labor
rule Texas or should Texas be for all
the people regardless ot class or
caste.." He said Mr. Bailey was the
only candidate in the recent primary
who had the manhood to boldly de-
clare against the closed shop and to
throw his gauntlet of defiance into
the teeth of the opposition. Other
candidates hedged and 'dodged the
question arid at least .one Mr. Neff
was now trying to ride two horses at
the same time by telling the people of
non-union proclivities when he ad
dressed them that ho stood for open
shop and then the very same day and
only a few miles away telling people
of union communlteis that he was
apposed to the open shep. The speaker
did not believe a straddler and time
server was fit to be governor of t
great state like Texas
Judge Morris also attacked the grad
uated land tax plank of Ifetf and said
Neff had hedged on it so much that he
had Anally decided to drop it entire-
ly. He also referred to. the fact that
Neff in the closfng boureJot the re
cent campaign before "the primary
declared that of all men In the race
for governor there was one he could
not under any circumstances support
and that was Honorable 'Robert Ew-
ing Thomason. He wondered how in
this case Mr. Thomason or the friends
of ThomaBon could consistently give
their support to RErl Neffv.
Governor Hobby came in. for quite
a lot of criticism in regard to his
various political work but the work
of sending soldiers to Galveston was
referred to as meritorious although
tho;name. ot Hobby was not mentioned
in this connection. The speaker de
clhred tho Galveston situajtton bad
become intolerable: that hundreds of
cars of-freight2700 to be' exact were
there on. the' ships or on the wharves
and that ..the people of the entire
state; of TexaB " werer suffering as a
