SENATOR BAILEY
SCORES HIS
ENEMIES
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
AUSTIN, Texas Feb. 27.-By a vote
of 70 to 40 Senator Thomas W. Bailey
was exonerated by the lower house of
the Texas legislature tonight of charges
Of any Irregularities in public life as
alleged by Representative Cooke on
January IA.
This action concludes six weeks of
investigation that has caused Senator
Bailey's contant presence in this city.
Bailey's opponents pleaded to have
the evidence submitted before being
asked to vote, but the Bailey forces,
SLIGHTLY in the majority, forced vote.
Senator Bailey appeared before the
| house after his exoneration. He
strongly criticised tha element starting
|. ana expressed IN en-
phatic language his opinion Of the
whole proceeding.
Senator Bailey, while bitterly criti-
cising his opponents, declared he was
going to continue as United States
senator from Texas for at least three
terms.
1.-THE conspirators have been given a
wholesome lesson" he said. "Never
again will they attempt it, within this
generation. Never again will they wear
the honors of Texas democracy in their
life. Such men would betray repub-
lie if Hessians were for hire.
'"The leader of the contest is man
who has gambled with negroes, and if
he attempts to deny it 1 will prove 1t
on him. One of them was convicted
of embezzlement and yet he is here
drawing his cloak about him, saying
that he cannot keep the Democratic
commandments.
"They have lied about me. Their
martyr is Hearst, who led his fight
against Texas. The leader in this fight
is the man who had a telegram pub
lished, lying on the legislature, claim
ing that it was corrupted by wine, wo-
men and song. Hearst has his ennis
saries and agents in the Texas legis-
lature today.
This Hearst campaign means that
they want to eliminate the men like
me and John Sharp Williams, and place
men like John Duncan"

SEES GOVERNMENT
OWNERSHIP AHEAD
Senator Patterson of Colorado De-
cIares This Is the Only Practical
Way to Solve Railroad
Problem
BY Associated Press.

by Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27. - Senator
Patterson of Colorado, addressing the
senate today, made plea for govern
ment ownership of railroads.
He predicted such a condition would
be brought about within the lifetime of
the present members of the senate, but
did not anticipate any speedy action in
that direction.
The railroads, he declared, were grow
ing more arrogant each year, and as he
saw little or no relief in the new rate
law, government control of the rail-
roads would supply The only remedy.
To show the value of his words Mr..
Patterson presented figures from nine
teen countries showing the presence of
government ownership in some form,
and he saw a steadily increasing senti-
ment in that direction so far as the
United States is concerned.
American roads he valued at between
eleven and twelve billion dollars. They
had been obtained by condemnation
proceedings, the financial end being
covered by a mortgage backed by the
governments guarantee.
Mr.. Patterson ridiculed the idea that
a vast political machine would be built
up through federal operation of rail-
roads. AS a matter of fact, ,railroad
politics would be abolished.
Among the benefits to be gained
through the ownership Mr.. Patterson
mentioned extension of the postal sys-
tenn, a postal express and equitable
rates.
