Chicago. March Edward F

County Judge Owens that he will con-

have the margin until that date to de-
clare himself as an independent can
didate. To do so, however, he would
be compelled to present a petition con

as to his reasons for resigning.
He first presented his resigna-
ton to Vice President Sher-
man, who refused to accept it.
Bailey then wired the resigna-
tion to Governor Colquitt of
Texas. Bailey's term would
not have expired until March 3,
1913.
GIVES HIS REASON.
Bailey, in conversation with fellow
senators, based his reasons for his res
ignation upon the vote cast by the
democratic senators in favor of the
approval of the constitution of Ari-
zona. which, he said. was so contrary
to his ideas of government that he did
not feel justified in continuing his ser
vice with senators who, as members ot
his own party, would take the position
they had taken on that proposition.
LEADERSHIP REPUDIATED.
1t seems BaiIey's leadership has been
repudiated the last few days by the
democrats, and he took small part in
the proceedings.
