BY Associated Press.

Washington, March A. President
Taft's proclamation calling for an ex-
ira congressional session refers to the
fact that. the Canadian reciprocity
agreement, togeter with the earnest
recommendation Of the necessary
legislation be promptly adopted as it
was transmitted to congress in the
special message Of Jan. 26th. and that
the bill to carry it into effect passed

IN AssocIated Press.

Austin, Texas, March 4.-Governor
Colquitt, when shown the Associated
Press report, said he understood the
situation, but reiterated his refusal to
give out any expression OF opinion
until he had a chance Of further
consideration.
1t is generally believed that with

Ex-Governor Tom NJ. Campbell to the
vacancy, although a suggestion is that
Clarence Ousley, editor Of the Fort
Worth Record. may be a strong candi-
date
Reports reaching here show that
throughout Texas the resignation Gre
ated intense interest. In 1906 Senator
Bailey was almost unanimously nomi-
mated in the primary for reelection to
the senatorship. Before his e1etcion
by the legislature in 1907, charges
were made that he had accepted fees
from the Waters Pierce OIL Company
and partisan feeling throughout the
state become intense
Seantor Bailey was twice exonerat-
ed by the Texas legislature after an

Washington, March A. Senator
Bailey, of Texas, has resigned from
the senate. He has made no explana-
tion as to his reason therefor. He
first presented the resignation to
Vice President Sherman, who refused
to accept 1t.
ton to Governor Colquitt, of Texas
Mr.. Bailey's term would not have ex-
pired until March 8, 1913.
Senator Bailey confirmed the re-
port that he had rendered his resigna-
ton, but declined to give to the press
reasons for his action. In converse
ton with fellow senators, however,
he based his reasons upon the vote
cast by Democratic senators In favor
of the approval OF the constitution of
Arizona, which he said was SO con-
trary to his ideas of government that
he did not feel he would be justified In
continuing his services with senator's
who. as members Of his own party,
would take the position that had been
taken In the vote on that PROPOSE
ton.
Immediately after the close of the
session Mr.. Bailey was closeted for
some minutes with his Democratic col
leagues, but resisted all appeals to re-
consider.
He was then sent for by vice-Pre
dent Sherman, with whom he went
into consultation.
Then the resignation was first sent
by Mr.. Bailey to the vice. president
the latter refused to announce it to
the senate. Senator Bacon was then
appealed to to make the announce
ment and when he likewise refused
Mr.. Bailey wired his resignation to
Governor Golquits
Mr.. B1iley's colleagues express hope
that they may be able to induce him to
change his mind.
LEADERSHIP REPUDIATED.
During the last few days Mr.. Balley's
leadership has been repudiated abso-
lutely by his colleagues.
1t was with Senator Bailey that the
Republicans made their agreement for
vote on the Lorimer case and max
ing the tariff board bill the unfinished
business. The understanding was that
there was to be no filibuster on the
tariff board bill, but large faction Of
the Democratic senators, led by Sena-
tor Stone, Of Missouri, declined to be
bound by the agreement. From that
time on the small part taken in the
senate proceedings by Mr.. Bailey
seemed to be contrary to the judg-
ment of his colleagues.
