Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1907-01-17

day witnessed the inauguration into office of two Democratic nominees ill Texas, and if you care to do so you can return here on next Tuesday and witness the installation of a United States senator.
 In this manner did United States Senator Joseph w. Bailey speak in the hall of the House of Representa- tives Tuesday when he was called upon for speech following the in- auguaration of Governor T. M. Camp bell and Lieutenant Governor 4. B. Davidson.
 Senator Bailey attended the inaug ural ceremonies in company With a few of his friends. He did not intend to participate in any particular there- in Upon his arrival in the hall the galleries set up cry for him, and after the inauguration they demanded that he make them speech. He said l that this was not an occasion upon which he had anything to say and while appreciating the courtesy of the call he did not care to enter actively , his time would come one week hence. Following this he made the remarks quoted above.
 The confidence expressed by Bailey this morning is largely manifested by his followers in the legislature today Saturday they were blue. Sunday im- proved their spirits, however, and yes- terday they were decidedly more cheerful. It was manifest early in the game that Bailey men had secured vantage ground over Sunday, and while the anti-Bailey people made seventeen-hour fight they lost out in the end.

Neal, appointed the com mittee in question, appointing there on four Bailey and three anti-Bailey men. This committee is expected to bring in some kind of report tomor- row.

 Over in the house the Bailey people
 again won out by reason of the fact that they deferred action upon the
 final investigation proposition by fore
 ing the adoption of a resolution call ing upon the attorney general to show
 what documentary evidence he had in
 his possession duplicating Senator
 Bailey with the Waters-Pierce Oil
 company. Upon the adoption of this
 proposition the house adjourned for
 the inaugural ceremonies until tomor-
 row without taking any further recog-
 milton of the Bailey matter.
 The Bailey people are jublant over conditions generally, and the assur-
 ance granted on the part of Senator Bailey in the speech quoted as deliv-
 cred in the house today is in a large measure shared by the members of the legislature who are friendly to Bail ey. Last week the anti-Bailey people seemed to have the best of the situa- | tion, but conservative review of the indications without any pledges re- corded in alvance tonight would in- dicate that the Bailey people had the best of the situation
 inti-Baileyites Still Fighting. The antiBailey faction say they are still in fighting trim, but general ap- pearances would tend to show that the Bailey people are going to prove win ners in the end. It has been a hard fight, attended with considerable bit terness in many instances, but the fact that the senate has provided for an ad- vsOry committee and the house has
