Enemies Say Senator Was a
Lieutenant of Aldrich on
Tariff Issue.

is RENT BY BATTLE
Attorney General Davidson Leads
Ranks Opposing Reelection
Of the SOutherner.

Senator Joseph w Bailey, Of Texas,
who had to fight tooth and nail to re-
main in Congress in 1907, is in the midst
OF another contest
Information reaching Washington fra n
the Lone Star State is to the effect that
although Bailey's present term will not
expire until March g. 1913, a campaign
against his reelection has already been
launched against him, and il has reach
ed such serious proportions that the
most polished orator in the United
States Senate has been compelled &c.
take the stump.
Mr. Bailey's political enemies are
charging that he was traitor to TIE
Democratic party during the extra ses-
sion Of Congress, and that while osten-
sibly following an independent course
was in reality acting as the lieutenant
of Senator Aldrich. Bailey chose to
ignore the charges for a short time
after his return home, but he Is now
going from one end Of the State to the
other explaining his position on the

issue was prohibition and anti-prC-
hibitiOn. Now that issue has taken
second place, and the candidates
who are making the race are being
labeled Bailey men" or "anti-Bailey
men"
The primaries win be held next
spring. and Bailey's enemies are making
every effort to nominate a man who sill
pledge himself TO oppose Bailey'ss re-
election. Bailey is riding on the fence
80 far as throwing his influence TO any
one Of the candidates who frankly de-
clare for him. He does not care TO COM
NIT himself SO early in the campaign,
and while he is keeping the Bailey can
didates guessing IL is declared thai he
is also weakening his support ia an
effort TO use every one as long as pos
sible before making a final selection.
one Of the most formidable candidates
for the guDernatorial nomination is At

man who ousted the Waters-Pierce Oil

Bailey a Good Lawyer.
In washington Mr.. Bailey Is regarded
as one Of the ablest lawyers in Con
gress. In his own State, however his
ability as a member OF the bar Is not
regarded highly. This Is due to the fact
that from the day he was admitted TO
the bar, in 1883, he has never been an
attorney Of record in any case in his
own state. although he has become ia
nous as a consulting lawyer.
The display OF his talents as a con-
stitutional lawyer have been confined
largely to the Senate chamber. Baiiey's
greatest success with the voters Of Texas
has been due 10 his personality and his
wonderful ability as an orator, rather
than because OF his great knowledge Of
the law He has been n Congress nine
teen years. He was in the House for
ten years. and was minority leader dur
ing his last term there. He was elected
to the Senate IN 1901 70 succeed Senator
Horace Chiffon, and was reelected in
1907 after one Of the most hitter pOlit-
ical fights ever known in the State of
Texas.

VOTES PILING
IN FAST

The young women who are trying
to win one of The Appeal vacation
trips are working with might and
main and votes are piling in fast.
In addition to the two Seattle and
two Los Angeles trips offered by The
Appeal are the prizes offered by The
Bulletin for which there is a lot OF
competition.
Then the double vote offer for this
week started things going in great
shape and tomorrow. when votes are
again announced. there Will be som J
surprises in store for many of the
contestants.
One of the young men who got in
on The Bulletin contest is forging
ahead pretty fast and the young la.
dies will have their work cut out
to beat him out on his score.
1t must be remembered that a new
subscriber gets twice as many votes
as an old one so that large PEI:
centage of new subscribers means just
that much more percentage in vote
increase. Old subscribers who help
out their friends on this contest
count a big figure in this contest
and the daily coupon printed in The
Appeal. with the date line. is not al
all. a small factor in the night. One
young lady figured out tat if she
got half the coupons from The Ap-
peal she could not be beaten. with
the votes she would naturally get on
new subscriptions. This may be a
tip. Nearly every subscriber in the
city is saving the coupons daily for
some friend. but few will tell what
particular young friend they are saw
ing them for.
The vote and standing will be an
nounced tomorrow. Saturday, so get
in as many as possible. 1t is great
thing to discourage the other fellow

At the Park Theater last night a
large crown applauded the views OF
our battle ships as they we've thrown
upon the canvas in battle array. The
pictures at this little theater are
thrown upon the canvas of a size
that allows the pictures to be larger
than are seen in a majority of the
theaterS on the cost. This coupled
with the fact that only the finest
of films are used gives the greatest
of satisfaction and makes the little
play house the great favOrite OF all
the playgoers The songs last even

will be repeated this evening.

is now given for ten and fifteen cents
