BAILEY SEEKS WIFE.
Made a Bet to Marry If Elected
Governor of Kansas.
Chicago Friends Recall His Court
ship In Illinois Twenty Years Ago
Was Tilted by Girl He
Loved Dearly.

Chicago classmates of Gov.-elect
Willis j. Bailey, of Kansas, when he
was attending the University Of Hi
nois at Champaign away back in the
early SOS, have recalled a college love
affair of the first gentleman Of Kan
sas that, in their minds, at leastg ex-
plains why he has never become a
benedict, and makes it fair to pre-
sumo that when he does seek a wife
he viii give Illinois q wide berth.
Mr.. Bailey, it seems. fell in love
during his freshman year with very
pretty and likewise very charming
coed, and soon the brawny young
Kansan was her devoted slave All
during his college course he was a
most attentive Lothario, Eand the
young woman seemed to reciprocate
his affection. 1t is said that before
Bailey graduated their troth had
been plighted He went back to
Kansas to his fathers ranch, and
the young woman remained at the
university to finish her education.
All during the vacation after his
graduation the two lovers CORE
spended unanimously.
But when the fall term began a
new star dawned upon the vision Of
the young coed. Another young
chap, not so handsome as Bailey, but
with the advantage of being on the
ground, courted her assiduously. She
gave her heart to him, and wrote
Bailey letter that made him swear,
it is said, never again to trust a
woman. An invitation to the we'd
ding of his erstwhile fiancee and his
successful rival followed shortly
afterward. The couple now live in

successor Of Senator Morrill,, was gov
ernor Of Vermont in 1sSS-lS00, and had
previously served several terms in
both houses Of the state legislature.
His father before him was governor
Of the state, and his ancestors on
both sides fought in the colonial wars
and in the revolution. The senator
was born in Waterbury, VT, in 1s43.

Florida, where the husband is sue
cessful railroad man.
Since ne was ijlted by this tickle
little coed Mr.. Bailey has had no
eyes for womankind. But of late
years he is said to have softened his
heart. At any rate, he made an ante
election bet that if he was made gov
ernor Of Kansas he would choose a
helpmate. And his Chicago friends
and classmates say that he will keep
his wonl, but they fear that he still
smarts from the ulting Of the coed,
and viii pass Illinois by when he
goes wife hunting.
Whether the memory Of the sting
left by the announcement of the mar
rage is still fresh in the mind of the
western state executive is question
that has presented itself to a number
of Chicagoans by the failure of Gov.
Bailey to find a wife in Kansas to
suit him.
Although the winner Of the matri-
monial election bet, who originally
stipulated thar he must marry a
Kansas woman, has waived that con-
dition and the governor is free to
choose from any state in the union,
he still reports that he cannot find
wife to be mistress of the $4,000
executive mansion.
Whether. remembering the past,
he really wants to get married is the
question.
To this George L. Douglass, a Chi
cago lawyer with an Office in the As
ISOLATION building, who was speaker
in the Kansas legislature in 1885
while Mr.. Bailey was representa-
tive, makes the following defense OF
| Gov. Bailey:
eff Willis Bailey made bet that
he would marry if elected he viii
marry-that is all He is a man OF
his word and would go through fire
and water to keep it. OF course, the
story OF the bet may all be made
out of whole cloth. But / knew him
/ in Kansas and saw him lift himself
from stock raising to craftsmanship
I never knew him to fail to make
good a promise"
Gov. Bailey is known to many Chi.
cagoans. lie was the guest Of honor
at Kansas reunion at the Union
League club when he came to the
city as delegate TO the trust con
ference.
A description Of the man who is
seeking a wife with an unlimited
field to choose from is given as fol
lows by his admirers here:
Height, feet 0 inches; com.
plexion. light; hair, light brown;
eyes, blue. Rather "stocl1y," round
faced, good-natured and genial.
