self.
Col. Barefoot and the senator are
warm personal friends and after a
days heart-to-heart conversation with
Mr.. Bailey, he feels sure that he un-
derstands the latter's attitude.
Senator Bailey Is not quitting the
game because he has any fear as TO
the result II he should again be a can
didate.~ said Col Barefoot. "On the
contrary. he is confident that he could
win no matter what situation might
arise. but the prohibition issue in Tex

To Col, Barefoot the senator impart

per. you may know Il Is lie." said he.
Concerning democratic prospects in
the next national campaign, Senator
Bailey was all optimism. "We can
elect any man that we nominate" he
declared to his chickasha visitor.
Bailey's choice for the nomination is
Gov. Harmon whom he regards as EN-.
iBently honest. capable and worthy OF
the honor.
Col. Barefoot Is firm in the convic.
ton that Il was the Texas prohibition
situation which was the deciding factor
in Senator Bailey's mind in reaching
the decision to retire at the expiration
Of his present term.
