Bailcy's Acceptance speech.
Senator Bailey's speech was ea-
gerly awaited for 1t rested largely
with him whether the fight OF the
past four months would cease or
continue with greater fury during
coming years.
But there was no conciiating spir-
ii or an avenue lef, for the opposition
to lay down their arms and retire
with honor except to those willing
to believe his statement that Hearst
was responsible for the commence
ment of the fight on him. While
promising that he would pass over
his enemies for this day and time
only" it could be easily seen that
but for the promptings of friends
the fierce flames of his wrath would
have enveloped him. AS 1t was ton
CUES OF flame here and there could
not be kept within their walls.
What will be the result of his def
no man can prognosticate. That
question can only be answered when
the two committees have finished
their work and their findings are
promulgated.
The Investigation.
The first week of the inyestiga
tion has been taken up by attorney
sparring for position and nothinl
material has developed except. tn
proving of the signature of J. d
Johnson on the Henry and Striblins
voucher and that Senator Bailey Dor
rowed the money from two Other
ipersons who have not heretofore
been mentioned.
The rulings of the committee have
been approximately fair and so far
mo exceptions can be taken TO its
actions. 1t has been however shown
that if it came to a show down
on points majority of the house
committee will uphold the Bailey
side as | said it would last week.
As is known the house and senate
committees consist of seven mem
bers each Senator Green of BeXar,
chairman of the senate committee
and Representative O'Neal of Cass,
chairman of the house. The two
committees are sitting as one and
the rules provide for witnesses to be
examined Jointly by all members if
they so desire but the senate has
employed VIM Poindexter as coun-
sci to elucidate the testimony.
New York Americans Charges.
The New York American of Janu-
larry %, contained some scandolous
and outrageous charges to the effect
that Senator Bailey's election had
been Secured by debauchery ana
corruption" and "bought with wine,
women and song
These statements are absolute and
unqualified lies as everyone tami-
liar with the situation here knows
and have been made without even
q suspicion 10 has" them on.
Representative Pierce. the repub-
iliCan member of the house In a splen
did speech In the house on last Fri
day condemned such statements in
