THE SENATOR WITHIN OUR
GATES.

Unless all announcements hereto
fore made are called in and arrange
ments now in effect are revised SEN
ator Joseph w. Bailey, our Junior
representa- - IN the senate of the
United States, viii be in Waxahachie,
the best town IN the best county in
Texas, Thursday of next week, April
%. The OF feCt of senator Bailey's
appearance in our midst at this time
is not in the interest Of sociability-
better perhaps that it We're. We of
Ellis county are socially inclined,
we appreciate the good that is in
every man, big and little, and to
those of our public servants who
have been faithful in the perform
ance of duty we are always ready to
say well done, thou good and faith
full servant" Greater reward for
faithfulness no public servant could
ask than the friendship of the demo-
Gratis of Ellis county. But Senator
Bailey is not coming to claim this re-
ward. He has out grown the people
and is now making appearances at
various stands in Texas in a great
one-ring circus act entitled, Il am
the best and biggest democrat in
Texas. Get in my band wagon or go
to the gulf" In Ellis county there is
a great divergement of opinion as to
whether Senator Bailey's band wag
on or the gulf offer the greatest COM
fort for the conscience, and Ellis
county people are sticklers for com
Portable consciences. We expect right
at the hands of each other, and We
expect no less at the hands of our
public servants from constable on
UP the line Ellis county democrats
are not troubled with political
crouch. Crouch could not get a foot
hold where there is so much big
heartedness, and if it did our famous
mineral water would cure it; and if
Senator Bailey has troubles of this
kind he is going to leave Waxahachie
a healthier and happier man. We
believe this very ailment is the foun-
dation of all his troubles. Our opin-
ion is that the senator has been
grouchy ever since the spring of
1901--we know that he was grouchy
then. But this is ancient history
Senator Bailey is coming, and the
people owe it to themselves and to
! this prominent man to hear him.
| Show him that respect due to his Of
| fee, listen to his defense of what is
| termed Baileyism and if by argument
he disproyes the charges made give
him your support. But Just here do
not forget that abuse of those who
may be opposed to him is not an
answer to the charges made against
his official conduct. Senator Bailey
netic fellow, and under the spell OF
his wonderful influence you may lose
sight of the real facts in the case anC
be swept off your feet by a whirl
wind of glittering generalties, We
would like for every voter in Ellis
county to hear Senator Bailey, fol
if he has defense to offer he is Ger
tainly entitled to a general hearing
That Senator Bailey will receive
a rousing reception in WaXahachie i:
a fact already settled. All people dc
not see things in the same light, anC
there are many here who believe il
him and give to him their hearties
support OF all the people who vii
! welcome him to our city there vii
not be one who does not appreciate
the possibilities of the. man, ever
!, though they regret the error he has
fallen into. The senator will need nc
body guard while in Ellis county
Our people are democrats and gentle
