s.Texas is the coming country. especially
the northern portion said John Withers of
Sherman. lat Sherman we have one of the
best towns in the Union in proportion to its
age. We have a Government building and
schools till you can't rest. We have all
of these things and many more in promise.
when the Territory land is opened for set
Element North Texas will be alive with in
dustry. 1t means that Sherman will take
on a big boom. It's bound to be the prin-
cipal center for distribution, and you know
what that means"
Mr.. Withers is well known in Missouri.
where he was agent for the Barber Asphalt
Company for several years. He took an &C
tive interest in politics, but declares now
that politics is slow in comparison with
the excitement of living in a community
such as Sherman, which is going ahead so
fast that citizens have hard times becom-
ing acquainted with their next-door neigh

.'There are lots of Missourians in Texas"
continued he. and Texas will show some
things at the Worlds Fair that will teach
you Missourians that there are other great
States in the Union besides our own"

JOE BAILEY ON
PARTY FUTURES.
Thinks Senator Bacon of Georgia
Should Lead the Democrats
in the Senate.


REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Dallas. Tex. March 2e.-United States
Senate j. ". Bailey has evoluted into a
farmer-statesman. During the recess Of
Congress he is stopping at his Grapevine
Prairie plantation; dividing his time be-
tween brushing up his college days Greek
and experimenting the building of several
miles of wire fence around one of his large
pastures. About once a week Senator Bal
ley drops into Dallas.
Speaking about Greek and things
Greeky," said Mr.. Bailey, on his present
trip to town. II agree with Gibbon that
Marcus Aurelius was the greatest Of all the
Roman Emperors and the only man in the
worlds history who had autocrattc powers
over 100, coo. 900 people and yet used his
authority for the common good OF all. But
American political affairs are just now more
interesting to the average good Democrat.
Senator Jones will not be continued as
the Democratic party's head In the Senate.
There is much talk Of Senator Bacon OF
Georgia being put in Jones's place. Bacon
is able and aggressive. II he Is made
spokesman for our side In the Senate, there
will be few political errors made. I take
no stock in all this talk about the Demo-
cratic party being in a bad plight, with a
hopeless future. 1t Is true that we have
encountered two defeats; but We are. I
think, in splendid shape for the battles that
are ahead of us. The party Is gradually
being cemented. wounds are healing, and
our standard-bearer in 1904 will have a
united organization behind him.
'It Is too early to discuss presidential
candidates. Matters of that kind usually
adjust themselves. To win battles. a polit.
ical party must present a solid front. and
enter a campaign united, enthusiastic and
aggressive. I believe in flying the flag we
fight under as high as 1t can be raised: but
1 do not subscribe to the doctrine that We
should drive men out Of our party. just
because it can be done. 1 am an old-fashion
Democrat, who would like to see the next
national ticket poll every Democratic vote
in the Union. I believe the men who will
sit in the next national convention Will
feel the same way. The Democratic party
is not even stunned: it will yet follow the
hearse of the organization that has tenn
porarily triumphed over it."
