UNIQUE CHALLENGE
IN POLITICS OF TEXAS
Resignation Of Either Senator Bailey Representative
RandelI Would Be Outcome If Proposed
Plans Are Carried Out.
By John SNURE.

As TO the cause Of the controversy, II
appears that announcement has been
made in one Of the Bailey newspapers
that Randell will have a fight for re-
nomination and that il is necessary TO
defeat Randell in order TO vindicate
Bailey with his old constituency. Ran
dell says he has manifested no III will
toward Bailey that he knows OF except
that I'm the Grayson county convention
I'm 1903 and in the State convention the
same year he advocated a plank pro-
hibiUing Senators and Representatives
from receiving gifts, employment, ana
compensation from public service cor
pOTationS. trusts, and those Interested IN
legislation. He declares this was fought
by the friends Of Senator Bailey on the
ground that his work I'm support of II
was a reelection on Bailey
He takes the position that the Bailey
wing OF the party has been led 70 oppose
the legislation because OF the contro-
versy involving the Senator arising from
the driving OF the Waters-Pterce Oil
Company out of Texas.
Randell. i'm his challenge, sets forth
some kilograms Of a peppeTy nature eX-
In one Of these Bailey characterized as
too grossly impudent 70 receive a civil
answer question wired him by Ran
dell as to whether he inspired or in
dorsed the newspaper article that said
A fight would be made on Randeu.
In his open letter Randell says that
in the contest he has proposed to Bailey
he Is aware that the unhOly alliance
Of incorporated wealth will be against
me"
It is supposed that Bailey will refuse
10 take up the challenge. as he obviously
has too much at stake 70 be likely TO
risk his place in the Senate on such a
fight.
