Representative Jackson's Position.
The following is a statement
of Representative Jackson’s po-
sition.conibatting strictures laid
upon him i»y the GormanPro-
gress, ami a reply by the Pro-
gress, all of which may make
the real merits of the contro-
versy more clear to the readers
of the Round-up, therefore we
publish it:
Austin, Texas, Feb. IS, 1907.—
Editor Progress: As you have
misrepresented my vote for
United States Senator by stat-
ing through the columns of your
paper that I have refused to
stand by my instructions, will
you please publish my reasons
in casting my vote as published
in the House Journal of the 22d
of January, and let your readers
judge for themselves. I am
slow to believe you did this un-
derstanding!^ The purpose
and effect of my vote was to
postpone the election until after
investigation. It was the only
course I could pursue legally,
to accomplish tjiat end.
The following reasons appear
in the Journal. Respectfully,
M. G. Jackson.
“If the law of the United
States compels me to vote this
day for United States Senator,
it does not require 'me to vote
for Joseph W. Bailey, who is
now being investigated on char-
ges filed by an honorable mem-
ber of this House, which, if true,
would render him infamous. He
may be innocent, lie may be
guilty; but since I can not know
the future judgment of the In-
vestigating Committee, 1 cast
my vote for a citizen whom I
know is not a candidate, but
whom I know to be honest. If a
majority of the Legislature will
adopt the same course an elec-
tion can be postponed until they
know the truth. I vote for June
Kimble.’’—Jackson.
Bailey he did so, even against! #50 per month for twelve mon-1
his own judgment and against jtlis is offered. Who makes this j
his own wishes. But he was ibid for your time! We answer, [
sent there to represent the wish I the commercial world. You are |
Of H majority of his people, and!needed in business; wilTyou ae-l
he did so, and did not set up his eept the highest salary!
Mr. Jackson: The Progress
docs not consider that it mis-
represented you in saying that
you had ignored the instructions
of your constituents, twice giv-
en, to vote for Mr. Bailey for
U. S. Senator. Your reasons
own judgment against that of
the hundreds of majority votes
of his constituents who favored
Mr. Bailey. Mr. Hawkins could
not conscientiously vote for Mr.
Bailey, and he resigned and
made the race over on the Bai-
ley issue. Had Hawkins been
re-elected, he would have gone
there with instructions to vote
against Mr. Bailey, and had he
doue otherwise he would have
misrepresented his constituents,
or a majorityot them. Had he
been instructed to vote for Bai-
ley and had not done so, it
would have been the same.
At the time of the recent Sen-
atorial election in this district
the people knew all they now
know against Mr. Bailey’s rec-
ord, (or practically all) both
private and official, and yet
they elected by a great majority
a man whom they knew, would
cast his vote in the Senate for
Mr. Bailey* thus attesting their
confidence and fealty to him.
Hence the Progress feels justi-
fied in saying that you ignored
the twice-given instructions of
your people.
You were elected to vote for
such measures and such men as
a majority of your people in-
struct you to vote for, and when
you fail to do this you misrepre-
sent your people and ignore
their wishes.
The Progress is not alone in
this wav of viewing the matter.
Scores of men with whom we
have talked have so expressed
themselves, and there are hun-
dreds of others who would do
so if they were but asked. Guilty
or innocent, you had no moral
right to vote for any other man
than Mr. Bailey. If he had been
proven guilty, then the blame
would have rested with the peo-
ple whose wishes you were elec-
ted to carry out.
This criticism is not given
with any degree of animus. But
it is our way, and the way of a
»t*44W4... K“S'
majority of the people of this
county. By their vote in the
primary of July they instructed
yoirto vote for Mr. Bailey. The
State convention regularly nom-
inated Mr. Bailey and in the re-
cent Senatorial contest in this
district this people thundered
their instructions to you by the
voice of a great majority to
Vote Fok Bailey, and you did-
not do it. If that is Not ignor-
ing their instructions, then the
Progress has misrepresented
you. This people did not ask
vou to wait for an investigation.
They did not say to wait for
anything; : their instructions
were mandatory. They knew
that the implacable and unre-
mitting foes of Mr. Bailey have
unearthed every transaction
which seemed detrimental to
bis interests and had heralded
it to the world in an effort to
prevent his election. They did
not believe them true, and they
wanted him returned to the Sen-
ate, and elected you to vote for
him. You did not vote for Mr.
Bailey, but voted for a man who
was not a candidate. The peo-
ple have no objection to the
man for whom you voted. Capt.
Kimble, of Eastland, has n
warm place in the hearts of
Eastland County people, but he
was not asking for the honor
which you thrust upon him.
Gaines of Commauehe was unal-
terably opposed to Mr. Bailey’s
election, yet when his people
twice instructed him to vote tor
viewing
the
matter. Had your instructions
been to vote against Mr. Bailey,
no fair-minded man would have
censured you for so doing, no
matter how far his private opin-
ion may have differed from
those instructions.
What Next?
Spring is here; school
most out, and you
A salary of #(50 per mouth is
$720 a year; $720 divided by
twelve months is $(50 a month;
deduct from ten to fifteen dol-
lars for board, and you have a
net salary of from $4.") to $50
clear, as compared with #20 net
salary at teaching. How can
this difference in salary be se-
cured! The answer to this
question has been found by
thousands who have completed
a course in Bookkeeping and
Shorthand or Bookkeeping and
Telegraphy iu Tyler Commer-
cial College of Tyler, Texas,
and are uow enjoying salaries
far in excess of tlie figures nam-
ed above. The business world
makes the highest bid for your
brains. It’s up to you. Time
and board bills wait for no man.
Vacation is here, and you can
spend your money m acquiring
a commercial education on the
same number of dollars that
would be required to support
you at home.
Write for catalogue and ask
about special inducements for
teachers. The Tyler Commer-
cial College, as you are perhaps
aware, is one of the largest and
most favorably known commer-
cial schools of the U. S, Its
.103 new enrollments during the
month of January surpassed the
enrollment of any other Ameri-
can business college during the
same period of time. It is the
merits of the famous Byrne sys-
tems which the school controls
that that has placed it in the
lead. It is now securing posi-
tions for every graduate.
Letter to E. M. Brown
Cisco, Texas.
Dear Sir: How did you get your
business? we’ll tell you how we got
ours. You sell shoes, we make paint;
perhaps we can do a good turn to our-
selves, you and we, by swapping ex-
periences.
We began 152 years ago in a little
shop a few-minutes wala from where
we are now; a great many things have
happened, we don’t remember them
all We made as good paint as we
could and learned to make better We
are the oldest now; we don’t know
whether we had any teacher or not;
it's so long ago; If we had, he’s gone
and forgotten We should have been
forgotten, if we hadn't made good
paint and friends
You buy your shoes; you have an
advantage in that; if you make a mis-
take, you can stop it quick: if you
make a hit, you can push it quick.
We’ve had to go slow; it’s hard to
pick-out one’s own mistakes, and
nothing but fun to correct the mis-
takes of others.
You know where to go for leather
that keeps its shape, feels good, looks
new, and wears a long time What a
comfort it is to be comfortable from
making one’s customers comfortable!
