On the following day Countess Chotek
became the archduke's wife. and some
years later the Emperor Francis Joseph
conferred on her the rank and title OF
Duchess Hohenberg. When this title was
conferred on her 1t was decreed at the
same time that she should rank before
all other subjects OF the Austrian crown,
with the single exception OF the arch
dukes and archduchesses OF the imperial
family.
She has been systematically snubbed.
and at times even insulted by those
archduchesses of the imperial family
who resented her marriage to their
kinsman and her rapid rise from the
rank OF countess to the exalted position
of a duchess.

At that ball there were nearly thirty
archdukes and archduchesses, and they

that she will ever repeat.
This year it was arranged that the
Duchess Hohenberg should again attend
the court ball. On the eve OF that
function the Archduke Francis Ferdi-
nand had . private audience with the
Emperor Francis Joseph. and made
special and urgent request OF him that

enter the ballroom at the extreme end
of the procession. but that she should
be permitted to walk In side by side

competition with the bigger concerns.

makes to shield his parent.

Mr. Bailey on public questions. They
had no prejudice nor hate in their
hearts. They had no choice but to
Join the anti-Baileyites. Then In the
wake of this opposition came a crowd
Of politicians out OF office who wanted
to get In. They helped to swell the
numbers. These composed the anti
Bailey army, and at present 1t pre-
sents a formidable appearance. Even
the friends of the Gainesville man ad-
NIT this. For years Senator Bailey
has been made the target of criticism
His every motive has been impugned.
His every act has been questioned,
and some newspapers have been so
deiirious in their opposition that they
have waited until Bailey took the mi
tiatiye on public question and then
seized the other SIDE OF the PROPOSE
tion-to fight Joe Bailey. It has been
guerilla warfare for years Every
public question, no matter If the jun
Tor senator was not even distantly con

Senator Bailey had not possessed that
heayen-sent gift of making loyal

Bailey owes a debt OF gratitude he
can never repay. Hundreds of Texans
would go through the fires of hell for
that man only for the distinction OF
having been some small service to Joe

Senator Bailey's sudden and unex
pected action in deciding not TO run

les us all to pause and think about the
