BAILEY FIGHTS FOR LIFE
TO CAPTURE TEXAS VOTE
Younger Senator Goes Home and Enters Political Con-
test With Round of Speech-Makng- Battle
VIII Be to Finish

Brilliant Joe Bailey has gone back to
Texas to engage in another fight for his
political life. He opened his campaign
Saturday with a great meeting in Fort
Worth, and there will not be a day OF
quiet for him from now till election;
after that there will be a resumption
OF the fight as soon as the State Leg
islature meets. It looks as II Bailey
is going 10 have a fight for life ahead
Of him just so long as he remains IN
politics.
II may well be doubted II there is
anywhere In the nation so bitter po-
iiticaI feud as that which IN Texas
ranges around the person Of the young
er Senator. For years the very idol OF
the State because Of his magnetic
personality and his commanding pow
ers. the charges made last year or
improper Relations between him ana the
Standard oil interests have precipitated
the fight against his leadership. in
Texas everybody is either for or against
Bailey. They say 1t is going to be
miracle If the fight Of this year Is con-
Guided without bloodshed, so far have
matters gone.
Questions in the Fight.
The question before luc oAdle - hASA'
whether Bailey shall be a delegate-at-
large TO the national convention; sec
ond, whether Attorney General David
son, who led the fight against Bailey
last winter before the Legislature, and
pressed the Standard OIL charges, shall
be renominated; third, whether, If re-
nominated. he shall be reelected at the
polls; fourth, whether the Bailey or the
anti-Bailey element shall control the
Legislature to be chosen the coming No
vember; and. finally, whether that Leg
isIature shall pass a resolution Of con-
fdence in Bailey, or one demanding that
he resign his Senatorial seat
1t will be war from now forward.
Neither side will ask or accept quarter.
one or the other will be eXterminated
politically. There will be a fight over
every deIegateship 10 the coming State
convention. a fight IN the convention,
a tight for the nomination. ana another
at the polls in every legislative dis
trict.
Elector at Twenty-one.
Joe Bailey was a Presidential elector
at twenty-one, or the Cleveland ticket
in 1884. and made a campaign OF his
State that won him his first fame He
had Just been admitted 20 the bar. He
lived them in Mississippi. and the next
year moved TO Texas and in a short
time was sent 10 Congress While

still one OF the youngest members OF the
House, the Democrats made him their
floor leader. Two terms in this capac-
ity and he went to the Senate. where
he has ranked as the great lawyer, and
on every public question man SEEM
ingly OF absolutely diSiuterested mo-
tives- His worst enemies have failed
utterly To find in his record at Wash
ingtOn confederation OF their charges
that he has been IN the employ OF in
terests connected with the Standard OIL,
and used his influence in their behalf at
home
washington has been unable TO be-
heve that this unselnSh. hign-minded
statesman Of the National Capital could
have been in Texas the very different
person his enemies pant him. But
they nave made the picture so strong
that they have turned half the State
once unanimous for him-into his in
veterate enemies.
Bailey was reelected by the Legisla-
ture last year. His faction controlled
the organization, dominated the inves-
tgatiOn Of the charges against him,
and by a factiOnal vote indicated him
Bailey was tainted by his enemies. who
dared him to resign and 20 before the
state with a candidacy fer another
election. Instead he ann Ounred himself
a candidate for delegatf-z-t- rye to the
National Convention. flis enemies ac-
cepted the challenge, brought out a fun
ticket of FOUR anti-Fa.ley candidates
for legatcs-at-large. and proceeded 10
force the issue. Not a member of the
Texas delegation in Congress has be-
come a candidate for delegate-at-larEe
except Bailey, so strained IS the sitUa-
ton and so great she danger 10 any
one of them of ever getting lined up
with either faction in tie contest.
