 ELECTION
No Leader Agreen Upon Organization Not Completed. Bailey'S Chances Lie In Immediate Action.

FORT WORTH, Texas. Jan. 4If turn to Washington were to come to. a direct vote of the Texas general as sembly tomorrow there would be no doubt whatever of his election. Four teen or fifteen members woud go on record in opposition to the senator, and thele ~onld ensue a smart row of a faetional nature but Bailey would go back to the national senate. Sen atoF Baileg's peril lies in delay.
 He faces the danger of | public in unisilica. ia which, whether right or wrong ip his present bold attitude, he would be the sufferer. This public in qniry. if forced bs his enemies. would mean the thrashing over of all of the questions that have been raised by the senators s opponents. Snd would put befoxe Senator Bailey tAe necessi ty of answering some questions by the application of ethical principles
 II is a matter of extreme simpIte ity, Baileyss opponents say. that he cannot morally or legally engage him self as the attoEney +o1 certain cor porations in certain capacities while serying the people of Texas as sen ator of the United States
 Bailey. on the other hand. says that the fact of his occupancy Of office as a repTese ntafiYe Of Texas at Washing ton has nothing to do with his law practice So long as he represents worthy ana legitimate inforPsts.

 Bailey Nos Worried.
 Senator Bailey shows no signs of worry He is thoroughly in coniu4aaa of himself. If he is in the slightest degTee nervous there IS no indication of t in his public baaeing. lie is full of sniles for his friends and Of fght for his enemies. He is personally in charge of the extraordinary easapaign he Is n0w engaged iushe secasd campaign for the single cceasion When tie priHafies indorses him as5 practically retUrned him 10 the sen ate back in July it appeared that Ghe matter of this particular scna toFship was over for the usual six years
 The senator even went 10 Washing ton, only 10 huG-g back here a month ago to rebuild his shattered fences. The situation is. Of course, q humiliat ing one for the senator, and his many warm supporters. bat the fight they are offering commands admiration and respect. Senator Bailey will speak al various points in the state up to the opening of the legislature
 He will campaign day and night and when the general assembly sits be will be at the state capital while the organization proceeds. His only real troubles, aside from the fact Of the existing mitch" lies in the pros peet of delay. Successive inquiries might stampede some of the Bailey men at the last minute and render his return to Washington 2 matter Of some doubt.
 On the other hand. we have a large element believing in party regularity: another element that loves" Joe Bail ey. and yet another element that be lieYes with him that he has good right 10 practice his profession of the law while representing Texas in the sen ate. Watching Senator Bailey al work among his lieutenants here iH his own state one comes to the con clusion that his defeat would mean the loss of strong type.
 There is nothing fippant about Sen ator Bailey. He maintains with vig9f of speech and manner that he haa been lied about: snat his patriotism and democracy are beyond anybody $ question: that he can honestly be an advocate of legitimate eoTpoEase o- individual interests and al the same time Loyalty represent his state in the great council at Washington There are in Texas many big men oi u1doubtea Fepute who agree that Sen atpr Bailey can and will maintain his position.
 Allegiance unfsitering.
 The group of friends and supporters gathered about him in the hotel hers are unfaiteSfag ig their allegiance and stormy in their enthusiasm. The oth- CT side of the controversy has not agreed aron a leader and fhis is one of the weaknesses of theie campaign They have. however. many spokes- mer. and these men are writing and taking to thousands e people
