viii forget the things against him, and
he will be able TO use his great intellect
for this great state.
"But when the liquor dealers saved
him, they drove hard bargain They
said we shall save you but In return
you shall save US.
In this race for governor none but
Johnson and Colquitt had any chance
Poindexter has been used He has been
told that the hands of Bailey rested
on his head and he would be elected.
He Is kept in the race to take votes
from Johnson. Colquitt is the candi-
date Of the Sa loon men and they want
him saved Bailey has got to help the
saloon men, for two years ago they
saved him. The saloon men kept Cone
Johnson from beating him for delegate
TO the National Democratic convention
TODAY Bailey made a speech at Gains
VILE in which he opposed statewide pro-
hlbition. Poindexter is for statewide
prohibition; Colquitt is against any sort
of prohibition. Doesn't that show where
Bailey stands?

ColQuitt at Dallas and the immense !
crowd CT ZVVO present at lldI HlSSl4HS.

the morning paper because it is not
going to say anything about this meet
ing, or if II does It will not be written

The night following the meeting
when ColQuitt had 1000. Cone Johnson
