BAILEYS BROADSIDE
NOT FORTHCOMING

Senator Bailey Of Texas has apparent
" abandoned, at least for the present.
his intention of issuing a broadside
against William J. Bryan's advocacy of
Government ownership Of railroads.
More than a week ago he stated in
New York that on reaching Washing
ton he would give out a statement deal
ing with Mr.. Bryan's views. He re-
turned 10 Washington on Saturday. and
was Immediately set upon by an army
of newspaper correspondents. Last
night he left for New York. without
making the promised statement.
His hesitancy in the matter is beIiev-
ed here TO be due 10 the fact that Mr..
Bailey. as well as other leaders of the
party in the South. are labOring private
" with Mr.. Bryan 70 get him to shunt
his railroad views on to a sidetrack In
this connection there is some significance
in an interview given out this morning
in Baltimore by Senator Rayner of
Maryland. who SAYS: Il do not think.
in reading over Mr.. Bryan's speech,
that he has come 10 an unalterabIe
conclusion upon the subject Of Govern
ment ownership OF railroads.
