WILL BE A CROWD
To Hear the Debate Between Bailey
and Crane at Houston.

Dallas, Texas, Sept. 3O.-On what
lines will the debate at Houston next
Saturday be cast?
That is a question these North Tex
as folk are asking, and they will
await the event with much interest.
Every public man talked to on the
subject is wondering what will be
the line of action and everyone who
can be there will attend. 1t will re-
quire all the facilities Houston can
provide to give accommodations to
the people. They are coming there
from ale parts to hear what will be
said.
No one appears to know what Mr..
Crane will offer for his part of the
debate. He is rather slow to discuss
his plans, and the chances are it will
not be known until the speaker faces
his audience. There is one thing
certain, Mr.. Bailey will not discuss
for a moment any question of honor
or honesty Mr. Bailey has said on
more than one occasion in private
conversation that he will not argue
with any man regarding his honor.
The moment | agree TO argue with
a man whether am honest or honor
able | admit there is some question
about it; and I won't admit il"
With Mr.. Bailey the only reply to
such an attack is the lie and he does
not hesitate to give it.
Just where Mr. Bailey will speak
prior to going to Houston is not
known. There is a meeting at Green
vile Monday at which he will be
present. Weatherford wants him and
Cleburne. Mr. Bailey's former home.
wants a joint debate No doubt Mr..
Bailey will be willing to that; but
the understanding is that Mr.. Crane
wants the Houston meeting to be the
first and therefore will make no ap-
pointment prior to Saturday. Wheth-
or there will be more than one meet.
ing between them is not known. Some
men have discussed the propriety of
Crane meeting Bailey and say he has
a very hard political job.
Others boast of Cranes ability and
say he will hold his own.
But in what position will Mr.. Crane
appear?
