You understand | am no pol:ti
clan, yet it appears TO me the
most important,nove for the dem
ocratic party of Texas to day is,
to get in line with the national
democratic party. II must dc
this by repudiating the doctrine
laid down by senator Bailey. 1!
the Texas democracy does not
speak out. the national democrat
ic party will recognize Texas
demOcracyas wanting in the great
element of success-harmony.
1t is up to the democracy of Tex
as, TO either accept the principles
as laid down by the national par
ty, or the principles as taught by
senator Bailey. One or the other
has to be done. 1t must be open
reputation of one or the other.
Either the party as lead by Cul-
berson, Johnson, Crane and 9th
err national leaders are wrong, or
that senator Bailey is wrong
both cannot be right. Who has
the nerve to lead off in this, put
ting the party in Texas in strict
line with the national party.
The following does not sound
good to those of the state who are
fighting for pure democracy:
State Press gathers from that
enterprising contemporary, the
Fort Worth Record, that senator
Joseph Weldon Bailey, by joining
with such splendid patriots as
Hepburn, Lodge, Crane, Lorimer,
Cullom, Root, Oliver, Gallinger
and other regular republicans
has againg saved the farmers OF
the united states from ruin at the
hands of those malevolent sena-
tors known as Culberson, Owen,
Gore, Davis, Williams, Bacon,
Martin, Kern, Taylor and all the
other democrats in the two hous-
es of congress. When it comes
to saving the farmers, senator
Bailey is probably the out-saving-
ist savior as it, and if he can at
the same time save few meat
packers, -four millers, steele man
ufacturers, wool spinners, lum-
bers trusters and such like the
more he enjoys it. But the SEN
ators main hold 1--WE gather from
the Fort Worth Record) is saw
ing farmers. He saves then evry
day. Let him save the farmers
Of nation, and let them save a
few kind friends in the infant
industry business, and he care
not who writes the songs of the
nation, any way, and by all means
let him save somebody from the
democratic party, which (side the
Fort Worth Record) is a veritable
gobble-um that hopes to crunch
the bones OF farmers, and is de-
TERED only by the giant form of
Hon. Joe Bailey who stands, spear
in hand and armor on between
the trembling agriculturist and
their scaly foe. Galveston News
Such reading as the above
sounds out of place, when applied
to democratic senator from
Texas.
But for the vote of the demo-
cratic senator of Texas the far
mers free list would have passed
the senate. Now the question is
is senator Bailey endowed with
more intellect than the rest of the
democrats in both branches of
congress. Will any one admit
such a thing. His vote surely
blocked the democratic party. If
he can not vote with the party,
why does he not leave it? When
he or any one else tells you, that
any tax put on either raw mate
rial, or manufactured goods is
not finally paid by the consumer,
you are told something that is
not correct. In the cost account
of every thing manufactured,
every item of cost is added, wheth-
er on raw material or not, as
previously stated, the democratic
party of Texas should get into
line, and quit this going off after
strange gods. Enough of this.
| By the way I have thought the
big dailies Of the state, possessed
great political power. The late
prohibition election is proof that
the voters are independent of the
influence OF the press. Every
one Of them were against the
amendment, the governor, both
senator's, yet it only pulled thro
by a questionably majority of
some 5000 votes. Some BODY is
loosing "tluence.
| The Lieut.. governor wants the
pro democrats put out of the par
Ity. If he succeeds, and then
; could see his party, he would
surely exclaim, my god, how it
has "swunk." | would like to
see the test made. Should the
Hon. Tom Ball SHE his guberna-
