A POLITICIANS DAT.
Fair management Could Have Q
Large Attendance OF Them.

Dallas News.
A politicians day has not been desis-
mated by the fair management. but all the
same, the gentlemen who are Just at this
time presiding over the political destinies
OF the State will be found in Dallas during
the present week as thick as the traditional
leaves In Valombrosa. Some Of them ere
already here and others will drop IN to-
morrow. BY Tuesday morning they Will
have possession OF the town. 40 to speak.
Hon. Joe Bailey was among the arrivals
yesterday and he was preceded but few
hours by Major Joseph ID. Sayers, promi-
nent candidate for governor. Congressman
DeGraffenried came In two or three days
since and has found things SO oongeniai
that he Is still here.
Mr.. Bailey was an interested spectator at
both exposition hall and the races yester-
day afternoon. He has an eye to the myers
and Is said to have horse OF his own on
| the track here. 1t Is case, however, OF a
| rose smelling ais sweet by some other name,
as his horse is managed and handled by
| friend. The young orator with the classical
countenance and hyperion curls walked up
and down the midway seeing the sights,
and as every man who met him halted him
to squeeze his hand he looked both child
like and bland.
In this connection It may be stated that
Mr.. Bailey has a characteristic which ID at
all times refreshing during these periods OF
Guiteras' fever and murky trouble. Refer
| ence Is had to the fact that he never hesi-
| tates to talk when approached by news
paper reporter and invariably speaks out
| plainly and to the point. 1t is not neces-
sary to chase him down or to shine his
] .t.~l,t la mud
articulates the same way. In response to a
query from a News representative yester-
day relative to whom he favored for gov
ernor Mr. Bailey promptly said
| II am compelled to be for DICK Wynne.
| He has been al lifelong friend OF mine ana
no man ever had better one. He was
my friend, true and loyal, when did not
have many friends in Texas. Under such
circumstances l would be an migrate did ]
not follow the flag OF Dick Wynne. There
is one thing will say, however, and that
Is, with Wynne out of the race for gov
ernor would support Sayers. would not
only be for him passively, but would sup
port him publicly and actively. He Is q
grand man, made q magnificent Confeder-
ate soldier and has made one OF the best
congressman that ever went to Washing
ton. II follows that he would make an ex-
lcellent chief executive. 1t Is almost I'M
possible for a man to know Sayers well
and be against him." and Mr.. Bailey conf
pressed his lips and shrugged his shout
ders to give emphasis to his remarks
AS stated above, the prominent politi-
clans will nearly all he here tomorrow.
Judge Reagan will arrive this morning tc
mngle with Bob Taylor and the balance
Of the Tennesseeans. Tonight or tomor-
row morning Governor Culberson VIII ar
rive and he Will be met here by Colonel
!Standifer. Colonel Moss and other members
Of his staff having officially notified eacf
Of the gentlemen to be In attendance or
Governor Taylor's visit to the fair. The
balance of the boys will rally around and
Dallas will once more be political head
quarters as we'll as the Texas hub.
