Senator Bailey has been re.
elected United States Senator from
Texas, but the charges preferred
against him of acting as attorney
for certain corporations while
Senator, and the loose investiga.
ton of these charges by legisa.

picion about him that greatly in
jures him in public estimation.
This is to be regretted, for Senator
Bailey is an able and brilliant man.
the charges against whom we

have failed to measure up to the
