The Bailey episode will, however,
serve q useful purpose if It awakens
the nation to the absurdity of the Ari
iona constitution, which happily failed
Of acceptance in the session just
closed
From Boston (Mass.) Transcript:
When Il senator not a senator? Is
a question to which senator Bailey
might we'll address himself. In the
house resignation vacates seat. but
in the senate it is different and the
pouting leader whom no one will fol-
low, is at liberty to take Gt back when
he cools down.
From Springfield (Mass) Republican:
United States senators many years
ago used to resign to accept governor
ships, or for lesser reasons. Now even
snatch the resignation back Senators
in our time occasionally die, but none
resign and stay resigned.
From Washington ID. CO Star:
Senator Bailey. Of Texas. managed to
score one of the most thrilling near
designations on record.
From Washington Cd. c. Post:
In withdrawing his resignation, ten
dered because of his strict adherence
to Democratic principles, senator Bal
ley, of Texas, has once agadn performed
a great public service.
From Washington Cd. c. Times:
Truly the times are out of Joint when
a leading Democratic senator resigns
his seat in disgust over the ultra
radicalism of his colleagues IN voting
for proposition that commands the
enthusiastic support OF a goodly group
Of Republican senators.
From New York IN. " Sun:
The Book of Texas says:
March 2. l793-Birth of Sam Hous-
ton
March 2. 1sss-Texas Declaration of
independence.
March 4, 1sI1-GeneraI Thanksgiving
day (Joe Bailey resigns).
March 4, 1S11-(Later) Bailey with
draws resignation. General fast day.
From Baltimore (Md.) American
Senator Bailey Is not much Of a
Texas star.
From Wall Street (NY.) Journal:
Vice president Sherman may yet re-
greet that he did not take senator Bal
ley at his word.
From Pittsburg (Pa-) Dispatch:
Nevertheless the opinion Will prevail
that whena senator of mature years
adopts the childish attitude of st won't
play" he should be left to come out of
that mood Of his own initiative
From Philadelphia (Pa.) Ledger:
Senator Bailey is an experienced and
able senator. but one Of the prime
requisites of statesmanship at the
present time is stability, sincerity and
trustworthiness. Mr.. Bailey does not
give weight or power to the Democrats.
His handling of the Lorfmer case ex-
cites only distrust. The whole episode |
has the appearance of a bargain for
an evil end.
From Cincinnati tohio) Commercial
Tribune
It's too bad that governor Colquitt
Of Texas didn't grab that Bailey resig-
nation before the senator had a chance
to reconsider.
From New York IN. " Tribune:
II looks as If senator Bailey intended
TO play the role of Roscoe Conkling. (
but frazzled out when the first pangs
Of stage fright Sripped him.
From Philadelphia (Pa-) Press:
It would be quite funny if senator /
Bailey had proved a little too quicR /
on the trigger with his resignation ana i
not quite quick enough with his with |
drawal of 1t. as some people appear to !
think was the case
From Richmond Wa.) Times Dispatch: |
We are glad that Bailey will keep
his seat in the United States senate.
We are sorry that he let his temper /
get away with his Judgment.
From Chicago cid Record Herald:
The comic supplement never con-
tanned anything more affecting than
that Bailey Boy had announced with /
the dignity Of 10 years that he wouldn't
play. He was real mad because he
wanted TO be general all the time and
some of his comrades refused to march
behind Hence the dread menace of a
national calamity.
From Springfield IlL) State Register:
Had senator Bailey not four flushed |
with his resignation and had he ac-
tually Withdrawn from the senate, he |
would thereby have improved that body
and performed public service for
which he would have been commended
It is unfortunate that Bailey with
drew his resignation.
From Chicago (Ill) Inter Ocean:
Anyway even If senator Bailey does
leave the senate, senator Root will be
good for some time 70 come
From Jersey City IN. j. Journal:
Did Bailey have string attached
TO his resignation? Even at that, there
Is a possibility that 1t is final In spite
Of the fact that it was recalled. Mr..
Bailey has lost caste with his party
since his defence of Lorimer and on
account Of his affiliation with the
In the senate.
From Elizabeth On. j. Journal:
Senator Bailey has now found out
how little the country at large cares
whether he resigns or not.
From Newark On. ID News.
It has usually been such an everiast-
ing job TO pry a Bailey out OF the
United States senate that, when he got
)ut by himself, 1t is desperately hard
70 see why the nation did not jump
It the chance to keep him ont
