Put. Him ON Top.

Some of our hero worshiping contem-
poraries have just little sense enough TO
try to make campaign thunder against
Joe Bailey. out OF the fact that he stood
square to the constitution regardless of
whether it interfered with great war
general or not. The constitution OF the
United States is above ALL and the man
who tries to become larger than that con-
stitution must always be called down. and
the people OF Texas have learned that
Joe Bailey Is the man to call him. His
opponents should drop that question. It
always brings him out on top.
