BAILEY WANTS
CONVENTION
CONTROL
Nomination of Colquitt Is
an Indirect Indication Of
Waning Power.
PLATFORM SHAPES
COLQUITT'S FUTURE

Austin. Tex, Aug 6.-Senator ]. w.
Bailey ana his supporters are bestirring
themselves to obtain control of the state
democratic convention which will meet
in Galveston Tuesday. The face became
known several days ago that an effort
would be made by tie anti-Bailey def
egates to the convention to secure the
adoption of a resolution repudiating Mr.
Bailey's position on the tariff question.
In many of the county conventions
which were held July 80 to select dele
gates to the state convention the ques-
ton of endorsing or disappearing of
Mr.. Baileys tariff record in congress
come uplfor consideration. In some in
stances the delegates were instructed
to vote for the proposed reputation
resolution, while in others, where Mr.
Bailey's friends were in control of the
proceedings, instructions favora BILE to
the junior senator were adopted
While the tariff issue is ostensibly

his enemies in this state he might be
willing 10 retire from public life at
the expiration of his present term, but
that in view of the fight that they are
still waging against him he would .e
candidate for reelection.
Tariff Not n Campaign Issue.
There was no discussion of the tariff
issue, or Mr.. Baileys position thereon,
by any Of the candidates In the recent
state campaign The sentiment of the
masses of the democrats of Texas on the
question found no expression in the pri-
maries, and for this reason, il is claim
ed that whatever action the state con-
vention may take in the matter of en-
dorsing or criticising Mr. Bailey will not
represent the voice of the rank and file
of the party. 1t will be merely a polit-
ical move, ii is stated. without any i'm
portance other than the effect that il
may have on Bailey's standing among
the convention delegates.
The anti-Bailey element is almost to
man warm admirer and strong sup
porter of William J. Bryan Many in
vftations have already been sent to Mr.
Bryan by Texas friends for him to move
TO this state and assume the leadership
IN the tight that is being waged against
Bailey. Although deposed from the
leadership of the democracy of Nebras-
ka an opening awaits him in Texas.
and, his friends here say that the nos
slolhtles OF this new field are almost
ooundless from a political standpoint.
Whether Mr.. Bryan decides to make
Texas his home or not, he IS said to
nave tentatively agreed to campaign
this state against Mr.. Bailey when the
time arrives for instructing the men,
Ders of the legislature TO vote on his
reelection to the senate. The poIiti-
cal breach between Bailey and Bryan is
too wide for any hope Of compromise
They are divided on practically all
party issues In recent speeches from
the stump in this state Mr.. Bailey took
occasion to cast reflection upon Mr..
Bryan He threw down the gauntlet
10 the erstwhile Nebraska leader and
invited him to enter the fray in Texas
on the tariff issue Mr. Bryan has
warm spot in his heart for the people OF
Iexas- He is erecting an elegant win
ter nome upon farm which he owns
(COQtinned Do

the bone of contention in the new fight
that is now raging around Mr.. Bailey,
1t is really the old fight dressed in a
new garb. The anti-Bailey element
which has been trying for the last four
years TO bring about his political down
fall is lined up solidly against him in
the prospective convention contest and
his old following is standing by him
almost to man.
Election Shows Wane of Power.
1t is claimed that the defeat of Will
liam PoindeXter, whose candidacy for
governor was espoused by Bailey shows
that the latter has lost much of his
former political prestige in Texas. On
the other hand, the nomination of o. B.
Colquitt for governor was due chiefly
to the fact that Mr.. Poindexter split
the prohibition vote with Cone john
son, the other candidate Of the prohi-
bition faction. 1t is well known that
Mr.. Bailey is an anti-prohibitionist and
that he supported Mr.. Poindexter for
personal reasons. The Colquitt support
ers, in view of the outcome of the recent
primaries, naturally feel kindly toward
Mr. Bailey, and 1T is stated that they are
inclined to give him their aid when his
record on the. tariff issue is attacked
in the convention. If this support is
given him the resolution of repudia-
ton will probably be defeated by a
good majority.
The anti-Bailey leaders are already
saying that defeat of the resolution
or the adoption of a counter resolution
endorsing Baileys tariff record would
have no effect so far as stopping the ef-
forts that are TO continue to be made
to defeat him for reelection to the
senate two years from now. Mr.. Bailey
recently stated in one of his public
speeches in Texas that If it was no: for

REMODELING TO
BEGIN SHORTLY

When the FL Paso trade excursion
stopped at Las Cruces, the excursionists
and business men were given a luncheon
at the old armory. Everything served
at this luncheon, except the coffee, had
been raised in the MesiIla valley.
When the new Sheldon hotel opens.
its menus will be made up Of things
raised on the hotels own supply farm
This is located down the valley and in
cludes 500 acres of the 500 acre ranch
owned by the hotel company.
Chickens, squads, pork, beef, vegeta-
bles. fruits milk, cream and dairy pro-
ducts, even the flowers for the tables
and the ''ranchita" water which will be
served exclusively in the new hotel,
will come from the big hotel farm down
the valley.
Rebuilding a Hotel
When the Sheldon closes on August
%, the old place Will be the scene of
the liveliest bit of construction hustling
that has been seen in these parts
frost & frost have plans drawn for
the complete remodeling of the hotel
and work will begin the same day the
hotel closes. No contract is to be let.
The work is to be done under the su-
pervision of the architects and will be
completed by the first of January. All
of the plumbing in the present building
will be removed, as it is out of date,
and will be replaced with the most san
itary plumbing obtainable. A new
steam plant is to be installed and new
battery of Otis electric elevators will be
put in to replace the sea- going car
which was the first ever operated in Ell
PasO. The entrance will be shifted
from the Mills street front TO the Pho
neer plaza side and will be covered with
marble The lobby will also be chang
ed and the stairways leading to the sec
ond floor and the basement will also be
rebuilt.
Some OF the Changes.
The Southwestern viii vacate the cor
ner room of the Sheldon block as soon
as its new city offices are completed,
in the Roberts-Banner building. The
offices now occupied by the Southwest
ern will be taken temporarily by the
Texas & Pacific for the city office and
work vii then begin on the new Ell Paso
Bank and Trust company's rooms in the
northeast corner of the Sheldon block.
The exterior of the building is also
to be improved in appearance. The front
of the Bank and Trust company's rooms
viii be covered with marble and the en-
tire exterior of the building, including
the pressed brick and terra Gotta finish,
will be cleaned
When the Sheldon was remodeled,
several years ago, some contractor
thoughtlessly painted the expensive
pressed brick and terra Gotta of the
three fronts of the building. An effort
vii be made to get this paint off, as it
spoils the finish of the building If this
cannot be done, the entire structure
will be repainted.
The hotel will be in charge of the
Orndorff Hotel company, of which
Charles De Croft is president and Burt
Orndorff manager This company also
owns the Orndorff hotel and will oper-
ate it as a family hotel in connection

In order to mark the most historic
spot in FL Paso most fittingly. Gen An
/ son Mills rs having a bronze tablet with
/ the above inscription, cast at the Ell
/ Paso foundry.
The tablet, which is now being
when completed, will be placed OF the
| left hand pillar at the TIoneer plaza
entrance to the new Mills building.
This tablet marks the very spot
where hung the front door of Ponce S
house. which was the first structure
/ ever built in the city of Ell Paso,' said
: General Mills, IAN ancient landmark Of
| so great historical Importance that
F, have ordered it placed there The north
bank of the river was, up to 1927, just
I opposite the new building, about where
the north side of the City National bank
/ building is. 1t then changed its bed
and moved toward the old town of Paso
del Norte, leaving a strip of very fer
tile land south of Pioneer plaza.
King of Spain's Grant.
Ponce de Leon, then prominent cit
izen of the old town, applied for the
land, and the king of Spain granted him
two cabaIlerias, or about 20 acres, sur
then built his house and moved over to
this side and lived here until he sold
his holdings and then moved back to
PaSo del Norte, where he died in 1884.
When first came to FL Paso in 1858
the building was still there and l often
went into it. At the time Ponce built
the house. the country was infested with
the Apaches. and none of the Mexicans
dared to venture to this side; so Ponce
built a fertilization and lookout tower
about 500 yards east of his house, and
kept a small force of men there for a
time, for in case of sudden raid, his
place was too far from the old fort on
the other side. Even when l came here
the Apaches used to hover around here.
Considering the local Importance of
marking the spot, I deemed it proper
that the tablet should be of home make,
and therefore have insisted that it
should be moulded at the FL Paso foun-
dry"
Big clown Clock
With four dials. each Is feet in diam
eter, the Arson Mills building clock will
be seen for two miles in each direction
from the big history skyscraper.
Gen. Mills has arranged for the big
timepiece, which will surmount the new
building, and it will be Installed as soon
as the roof is put on the building. This
clock will be Gen. Millss gift to the
people of Ell Paso. and it will be posi-
bic to tell the time at any hour OF the
day or night, as the clock dials are to
be Illuminated at night and will have
the numerals large enough to be seen IN
all parts of the city.
The Western Union Telegraph compa-
ny will install the clock and will regu-
late it in connection with the system of
standard time clocks.
