OF criticisms. He said that the fact
mat the Cosmopolitan Ia owned by a
member OF Congress takes the cas-.
out OF the general rut. He then spok,
OF the published matter AS false and
OFFENSIVE, but said that he did not
propose TO consider II from q personal
standpoint, because II is OF kind
which, II dealt with in that way, would
require different place" He then
added
Indeed, II considered It purely and
only from personal point OF view
should not regard it as worthy OF any
notice
Mr.. Bailey then discussed at length
the charges In the magazine article
that he had lent himself to a scheme
whereby the antitrust law Of today
had been evaded by goreign corpo-
ration. OF this, he said that II had
been thoroughly Investigated by the
very legislature which elected me to
the senate, and it was shown to be
90 entirely unjust and absurd that the
decent men among my most implaca-
bic enemies in Texas no longer be
believe It,"
After giving the details connected
with the matter, MIR. Bailey said

was seized up ond magnified In many
ways, and it was charged that / had
received a fee ranging from $50 900
to 100000, according to the magma

who was more reckless than the rest,
and who happened to be a member of
the Texas legislature, introduced a res
olution directing an inquiry into my

He then referred to another article
which he said had appeared In the
New York Evening journal. a paper
bearing Mr.. Hearst's name, the day
after the article in the Cosmopolitap
had made its appearance.
