and stated that there would be no
political discussions during the
Union meeting. The first speak
erintroduced was Hon. w. f.

the vast audience spelIbound for
one hour. Hn urged our farmers
to organize and manage their own
business the same as all other

of our farmers having their own
warehouse.

ests Introduced in Senate.

Austin, Tex, Jan. 11.-Fourteel
members .of the thirty composing The
Texas senate signed a resolution TODAY
demanding IN Investigation of Sena-
tor Bailey and Attorney General Da-
wilson in connection with the read
mission of the Waters-Pierce Oil com

expected both Bailey and Davidson
will be present. The house set as d
special order for tomorrow morning

EARLY today the house refused to
consider the matter in any form, bur
later the special order was obtained.
Senator Bailey's supporters tonight

substitute seeks to offset the charges
made against Senator Bailey in the

company and has successfully resisted
the charges. The Bailey resolution
suggests that the speaker appoint a
committee of seven members who

is foundation for the charges they
shall so report to the legislature which
then can decide as TO the charges pre-
ferred.
Both factions are active tonight in
preparing for tomorroW's contest.
