Fellow Democrats" began ]. A,
BowmY in making the first talk Of
the evening after acting Chairman
| b. r. Ware called upon him for
statement OF the purposes Of the
meeting, "for the last four days
there has appeared in the columns
of the Daily Panhandle call and
there have also been circulated dodg-
crs for the purpose Of calling meet
/ ing here tonight to organize a Pot
ter County Bailey Democratic club
and to select delegates TO the Bailey
meeting in Fort Worth Saturday.
suppose that you are all familiar
| with the fact that some days ago
meeting was called in this room For
the purpose Of selecting delegates to
an antl-Bailey meeting at Waco.
This meeting at Fort Worth will be
for the purpose of selecting four del
egates to be pitted against those
nominated by the Waco convention
as delegates at large from the De-
mocracy Of Texas to the national con-
vention which meets in Denver in
July. This controversy originated
you know by reason OF the attacks
made by the personal and political
enemies OF Senator Bailey upon the
proposal that he should represent
this commonwealth nc the national
convention We believe, and you be-
lieve, and believe that Senator Bal
ley is the best qualified man in the
party to represent the Democracy of
this great state. Heretofore he has
always refused this honor and has
said that It should so to some man
humber in the ranks of tho party
than he. But when he had hurled
at him the defiance that he should
not represent the state, he had moth
ing left in self respect but to stand
forth and say that, the Democracy
willing, he would represent the state
at the Denver convention"
