They are saying that shortly after Randell announced—the
reader will remember he announced before it was known Senator
Bailey woulif not make the Va^e for re-election—a group of Dallas
anti-Bailey leader* sent a letter to Randell, asking him to vipit them
and counsel upon the propriety of his remaining in the race or pos-
sibly getting out in favor of some other man whj^m the committee
might deem o swifter runner. And they are sayin^Randell sent a
si7z!ngietter back to the Dallas committee, informing them that he
wasn't the candidate of any group or faction, but was ranning on
his record and his platform, regardless of cliques and factions.
Whi jh *<>oked Mr. Randell's goose, so far as that committee wafc
con je.rned.
An Interesting Possibility.
; Now the politicians are speculating upon the possibility—they
deem it a probability—tbaf after making another couple of trips
around the track Morris will discover that he didn't get a perfect
cure at Battle Creek, or that the Texas hbit of eatuig food with
germs in it has got him into a new mess of trouble, with the result
that he will stop running and lean against the rail a second time un
till kind friends lead him back to the infirmary.
In which event it is believed by the politicians Tbm Campbell
will take the track to run the concluding laps of the great relay
race against Woltere and Randell.
Tom Campbell is a man who never contracted the sick habit He
is as tough as Randell and Wolters—physically I mean. If he starts
he'll go through, and the going will be a heap faster than it has been
down to date, because when T. C. gets into the running he forces it.
Meantime, holding his major political tenets in-suitable detesta-
tion, I wish to congratulflte Colonel Wolters upon his shrewd com-
mon sense in making his speaking tour in an automobile. That way
he escapes the dust and heat and stuffiness and colds in the head
and general health-breaking disoomfort of a long tour in plush rail-
road cars—which were invented by an enemy of the human race on
a day when he got up with a grouch on—and he ia assured of plenty
of fresh air, physical exercise, sound sleep and a hearty appetite?
Clearing the Way for a Real Issue.
Prom my point of view4t will be better for all concerned to have
Colonel Wolters win this race; his victory will ±he sooner clear the
way for a clean-cut issue between the plai^ peo Je, the workers "and
producers, on one sid
That issue won't become acute until the policies of Big Busi-
ness, which Jake represents, have wiped out a lot more of the sur-
viving small tool-owners and have convinced politicians like Ran-
dell and Sheppard there is nothing in the role of Tomlinson, Kip-
ling's man who never did any good nor any evil, and when he died
