say even that much when he testi.
fed under oath before the legislative
committee.
Mr.. Bailey well knows that no one
has asserted that United States SEN
ator has no right to borrow money.
1t is to the character Of the banker
I'd and the circumstances surround
Ing the loans that objection is made.
Mr.. Bailey's own testimony shows
that, when he met Pierce for the
first time on April 25. 1900, he, with the
rest Of the people Of Texas, believed
that the Waters-Pierce Oil Company
was a Standard Oil concern. But upon
the strength Of a law report which
Pierce showed him, and upon Pierce's
representations, he agreed to inter-
cede with the Attorney General of
Texas. According to his testimony
and his many speeches, however, there
was saving clause. He told Pierce
that IL the matter stood as he had
stated 1t there should be no trouble
in getting the case compromised. New
ertheless, his own testimony further
shows that when he spoke to the At
torney General he found the case quite
different from what Pierce had repre-
sented 1t to be, so much so that he
concurred in the opinion Of Attorney
General Smith that compromise was
out Of the question.
But in the meantime, as we know
from Senator Bailey's admissions,
forced out of him by Attorney General
Daviding, he had, with only that ex-
parte hearing in st. Louis, dropped
the Texas belief that the Waters
Pierce Oil Company was connected
with the Standard Oil, and, without
waiting to hear what the Attorney
General of Texas thought as concern
ed that company's claim to legitima-
cy, had borrowed $4,000 from the pres
ident Of that outlawed company, said
president himself then being under in
dictment in Texas!
The News believes, in the first place,
that Senator Bailey, as a public serv.
ant Of Texas, had no right to butt into
a matter which was in the hands of
men chosen by the people of Texas
to look after it. If, as he told Mr..
Pierce, the Texas authorities were fair
and honorable men, what occasion was
there for him to interfere? The COM
pany had its attorneys. 1t believes, in
the second place, that he could not,
In good conscience, as an influential
public servant, accept a loan from a
fugitive from the justice of Texas,
from man whom he believed when
he entered his presence was a trust
master, but whom he acquitted of that
suspicion to the point that he, high
public servant, would accept such fa-
vors of him before he left that room
and without hearing one word from
the side of his constituency. Accord
ing to his own statement he entered
the room knowing very little about
the case against the company, but with
an opinion unfavorable to 1t; he left
the room with favorable opinion, his
promise given to help the company,
and with $4,000 of Pierce's money In
his pockets. The News considers that
Senator Bailey's belief I'm the legiti-
macy of corporation which had been
raiding his state for years was too cas-
ily acOuired tO iustifv hio accentanca
Weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-01-17


concealed the fact that he borrowed
money from Pierce. IL he regarded this
borrowing as an innocent and legiti-
mate transaction, it Is past believing
that he could have told the story Of his
first meeting with Pierce scores and
scores Of times, verbatim ct literatim,
never once breaking over the line,
never even limiting that in that same
meeting he declined fee, but accept
ed loan. When in his speeches last
fall he attempted to account for the
weeks lost time that Mr.. Thomas
asked about, his words SKINNED the
very top Of the rest of the story, and
yet he did not tell it. In these speech
es he said that If he did not return
to Texas ut must have been because
l went to Kentucky to SEE those
horses that you've heard so much
about
Nearly two months later, when an
swering the Attorney Generals ques-
ton about the $4,000 loan, he disclos-
es the fact that in that first meeting
with Pierce he declined fee, but told
Pierce that had intended to go to
Kentucky to SELL some horses to
raise money, but feared he would not
have time to do SO, and would consider
a loan a favor.
Why, when mentioning horses in his
speech and in connection with that
first interview with Pierce, did he say
SEE" instead of SELL? Why.
when he got so near the reason for
borrowing the money, as he now re-
lates 1t, did he fail to mention the
loan? Why did he fail to mention it,
unless with formed design to conceal
that most important fact?
1t Is not contended by anybody that
Senator Bailey had no right to borrow
money. 1t is contended that he bor-
rowed 1t in the wrong place and un-
der wrong conditions; that this initial
loan was but the starter of a long
string of such suspicioua transactions,
and that, by reason OF H.. pursuits and
associations, his views have become
perverted.
Senator Bailey points to his record
In congress. Suppose it were conced-
ed that it is above reproach-what
then Of the duties of congressman
which are not of record? But suppose
1t were conceded that all of these we're
performed with perfection? What
would all this amount to If within his
own state he had used his high posi-
tion and its great influence to nullify
a victory gained by this state, to fas-
ten upon his own constituents a mer-
ciless trust, which, Notwithstanding
the fact that Texas now produces great
quantities of oil, EFFORTS unconsciona-
bic prices from the people? What
would all this amount to when he Of
fers an outraged people no word of
apology, when he expresses no regret,
when he makes no promise to amend?
This Is the mildest presentation of
his case. 1t has none of his wild
threats to destroy his accusers, none
OF the discriminating documents which
prove his guilt, not even all of his
confession, not word of his desper-
ate damnation of the alleged unfaith-
full employe who Is said to have "stol-
en-" from the files and presented to
the Attorney General the evidences of
discriminating wrongs which he had

tney We're not 80 produced the state
would offer secondary evidence. Some
OF the books called for were records
OF vouchers purporting to show that
H. G. Pierce had drawn from the treas
ury Of the Waters-Pierce Oil Company
sums OF money which he represented
he had paid to J. w. Bailey. The first
OF these alleged vouchers purported
to show that Pierce had received from
the oil company $4,000 to reimburse
him for loan Of that amount claimed
to have been made by Pierce to J.
w. Bailey on April 25, 1900. This was
the very day of Bailey's first meeting
with Pierce. Vouchers for other SINH
lar loans at later dates were called
for.
Mr.. Bailey sent out statement from
Washington denying that he had ever
received cent from the Waters
Pierce Company, and declaring that
IL any one claimed to have vouchers
OF that company signed by him he
would prosecute him for forgery.
Attorney General Davidson replied
In an open letter, asking Senator Bal
ley IL he had received these amounts
from H. G. Pierce.
Senator Bailey came back to Texas
and issued signed statement, admit
ting that he had received the alleged
loans, but declared that he had receiv-
ed them from Pierce personally, and
not from the oil company. In this
letter he for the first time disclosed
that he had not fully and fairly report
ed the first meeting between himself
and Pierce. He went over that story
as he did upon the witness stand six
years ago, and so many, many times
since then, telling how he believing
that the Waters-Pierce Oil Company
was an independent and legitimate cor
poration) had offered to speak to the
Attorney General Of Texas in it's be-
half; how Pierce offered him a fee:
how he declined; how Pierce had ask
ed him If he were not lawyer, and
how he had answered, Eyes, but l am
one Of those lawyers who practice
law, uOL influence. mat was the
absolute limit that Senator Bailey had
gone before. But in this letter he &C.
knowledged that after he had told
Pierce that he "Practiced law, not
influence" he added that he had In
tended to go to Kentucky to SELL
some horses to raise money that he
urgently needed, but he feared on ac-
count of the necessity of returning to
Texas on political mission, which
he had already mentioned, he would
not have time to sell the horses, and
If Pierce would loan him $1,000, TAX
ing his note with interest, he would
consider 1t favor, and that Pierce
loaned him the money.
Now, Senator Bailey is not meeting
the issue here presented. He is not
relating these matters in sequence.
The published accounts of the speeches
show that he is relating the story of
his connection with the readmission of
the Waters-Pierce Company just as he
did six years ago, and asserting that
he ought not to be blamed because at
that time he believed the company to
be legitimate. Afterward, in a wholly
different connection, he says that he
borrowed money from Pierce, but fails
