BAILEY MAKES
WILSON TARGET
Junior Senator Hurls Shalt Of
Criticism at the Peoples
Candidate.
RATHER WEAK ON HARMON
Plays SoIt Pedal on Ohio Governor
by His Lavish Praise Of Un-
rwood-Speech Direct
ed Against Wilson.

Reiterating previous statements
that Oscar Underwood was his per-
sonal choice for the democratic
nomination for the presidency
heaping words of praise upon Speayg
er Champ Clark of Missouri and
severely criticising the policies ad-
vocated by Governor Woodrow VIII
son OF New Jersey, Senator Bailey
spoke for little more than two
hours Tuesday afternoon at the
Chautauqua park auditorium sup
posedly in the interest of the candi-
dacy of Governor Harmon of Ohio,
but he only made one reference to
the chief executive of the Buckeye
state. Mr.. Bailey devoted practi-
cally all of his speech to a discus
sion of the tariff and to denuncia-
ton of the initiative and referen-
DUN. He criticised Governor Will
son for his advocacies of free raw
material and the initiative and ref
erendum, characterizing these as
new and strange doctrines. He had
little to say in support of Governor
harmon's candidacy for the presi-
Dental nomination. Most of his
praise was bestowed upon Repre-
sentative Underwood and Speaker
Clark
Mr.. Bailey was due to begin his
address at $50 and some time be-
fore that hour the people who had
come here from different parts OF
the county to hear him began as.
semblfng at the auditorium. Foul
rows OF chairs were placed on the
stage and most of these were occu
pied by Confederate veterans Sen
Ator Bailey spoke to a crowd tha

the wall and some remained Il
their autos which were drawn u
near the building, but there wer
some vacant seats inside the build
ing. While the crowd was Assem-
bling the Juvenile Band played
number Of selections. At no tim
was the speaker greeted with wha
might be termed storm OF ap
plause. Indeed there was no grea
enthusiastic demonstration such a
greeted the senator when he spok,
from the same platform four year
ago during the memorable Bailey
johnson campaign for delegate a.
large to the national convention
At frequent intervals during the de-
livery of the speech there was con
siderable applause, but most of Il
came from the stage and from
those sitting nearest the platform IN
: the auditorium.
When Senator Bailey arrived al
the auditorium and assembled the
steps to the stage there was consid.
cradle handciapping throughout the
audience. After that the applause
was not so vocifereus.
Those who went there expecting
Senator Bailey to give them some
Intelligent reason why they should
vote for Governor Harmon for pres
ident we're disappointed. After
few preliminary remarks in which
he complimented Representative
Underwood and Speaker Clark In
very high terms Senator Bailey en-
tered into an elaborate discussion
of all the intricacies and complex
\ tiles OF the tariff Question. H<
started out on this line of argumen
by referring to Governor Wilson's
advocacy of free raw material. Hi
said Mr.. Wilson wanted to remove
the tariff from the manufacture
and leave it on the manufactures
product.
In beginning his address Senate
Bailey said he had come two thou
sand miles to spend week in con
sultation with the democrats o
Texas. That errand, he said, wa
not a selfish one. He declared tina
he had no purpose to serve and NJ
interests in the election next Sat
urday any greater than the inter
ests of any other man in the couD
try. He believed the result of thu
election next Saturday would have
a powerful influence on the desti
ny of the state and nation that viii
live for a century to come.
He said some men were inclined
to complain because he had left hi
duties at Washington to come dowr
here to take part in this campaign
He believed he had higher dat,
to perform here lust now than he
could perform at his post in Wash
ington. If this contest, he said
meant nothing more than the sue
cess or victory of some man he
would not have spent the time mol
incurred the expense of coming &c
Texas to talk to the people, He de-
