MISUNDERSTANDING
IN BAILEY MATTER
Texas Senator Issues State
ment DENYING Lorimer
Agreement.

Washington, D. c., March SIN the
closing days of the last congress, re-
ports were sent out imputipg TO SEN
ator Bailey. of Texas, responsibility
for the agreement by which date
was fixed for vote on the Lorimer
case and the bill to create a perman-
ent tariff board was made the unfin-
ished business of the senate. But in
a statement issued here, Mr.. Bailey
makes it clear that he did not bind
himself or attempt to bind anybody
else and that his connection with the
agreement ended with the statement
that he would not himself filibuster
against the tariff board bill.
He went so far as to say in open
senate he would not filibuster against
any measure unless the interests of his
constituents were jeopardized. There
is little doubt that the situation was
misunderstood.
After the Lorimer case was settled a
filibuster against the tariff board bill
was led by senator Stone, of Missouri.
The interest which he had taken in the
Lorimer case and that the fact that he
was known TO be opposed to the tariff
board bill caused some of the Demo-
cratic senator's to believe that with
the withdrawal of the Texas senator
from the fight against the latter meas
ure signified that he had entered into
the agreement with its Republican
supporters.
Mr. BaiIey's friends understood that
his resignation from the senate which
which was not accepted, was based en-
tirely upon the apparent endorsement
by his colleagues of the initiative ref
erendum and recalK in their vote for
the Arizona constitution He accepts
at par the statement of some of those
Democrats that their action was not
intended as a party approval of that
provision.
