was the subject of the famous de-
bate at Houston between Mr.. Crane
and Mr. Bailey, and in that debate
the former attorney general laid
down the proposition that no mem

corporations at the same time and
do justice to both. The argument
he presented has never been answer
ed In his speech at Midlothian Sat
urday night Mr.. Crane said that
Senator Bailey was the first sena-
tor from Texas to attempt to lower
the high moral standard of this hiRn
| and dignified position by accepting
| fees from corporations. He calleC
attention to the Aldrich bill to shov
that Senator Bailey had not al
ways voted right on matters of ma
tional legislation. Bailey he said
was the only democratic senator
who voted in favor of this inyfdiou:
bill. He said Mr. Bailey was criti-
cised by Mr.. Bryan in his Common
er for supporting this bill Mr.. Bry-
an said ii was a republican measure,
/ that the republican party was IN
| league with Wall street and Mt.
| Bailey was in league with the re-
publicans. The speaker said Mr.
! BAILEY went so far as to scold the
democrats for filibustering in thelr
effort to defeat the bill Bailey says
he always voted right and that cor
porations never done him any harm,
continued the speaker. Well, that Is

( Had Bailey been one OF the disci-
piles he would doubtless have told
J the Lord il was not necessary 10
teach him that prayer,
After this deviation the speaker
again referred 20 the Aldrich Till,
saving that Bailey not only voted
wrong on that measure but that ne
voted against the Panama canal

tinental railroads of the country.
