could have that agreement with Bailey,
that he would be a candidate only once
and would not be in the race the sec
ond time. I asked Senator Fitzpatrick
what he would think of me if 1 should
make that proposition to Governor
Bailey, who should be my friend; that
he was good enough to have one term
in order to be INDICATED, but that he
was not good enough to have the second
term as governor.
"a few days before that Sunday
meeting Mr.. Waggener was over here,
called upon me and stated that Gov
ernor Bailey said that he (Mr. Bailey
was for me for governor and that he
would make campaign speeches for
me. Mr.. Hornaday was in Topeka
when this Bailey talk was on, called
up Bailey a t Baileyville over the tele-
phone, so he informed several of US
and stated that Bailey told him that
he would not be a candidate for gov
ernor. Mr.. Hornaday agreed with me
in the presence of Mr.. Anthony and
Mr.. Biddle that he would not get out
of the race and wanted to know if I
would stay in also, and not be crowded
out. We both agreed that we could
remain in the race.

that if 1 was candidate for governor
he was for me. After this Copeland
county conference when it became
known that they were trying to get
Bailey into the race Senator Curtis
notified some of his friends here that
if they thought best, if his interests
would be protected, and above all if
Mr. Leland was satisfied then he
would not oppose the nomination of
Mr.. Bailey for governor. I make this
