senate marks the close of one of the
most remarkable political careers in
the history of congress. For more
than twenty-three years Senator Bal
ley has served his party in the halls

he entered congress as a representa-.

In the senate he took the lead in
almost every debate, was always an
effective speaker and was one of the
most praised and maligned Democrats
in that body.
Senator Bailey served in the fifty.

fifty-sixth congresses. He aligned
himself with the Bryan free silver
