ment Of R. NJ. Johnston, president and
editor chief Of the Houston Post, as
successor to Joseph W. Bailey In the
Cnited States senate for the term ex-
piring March next was announced
today by Governor Colquitt.

OF Senator Bailey throughout the BIT

twelve years democratic national com
mitteeman for Texas, his service end
ing last summer when the Texas pri-

Morris Sheppard of Texarkana was
named in July last in the Texas demo-
cratic primaries as preferential chotce

Brief Filed Seeking to Show Shoe
Trust Has Not Violated the Law

By the SIX partners respectively. cre-
ating the United Shoe Machinery
Company. II. however, this combina-
ton or partnership Is a direct or i'm
mediate restraint upon interstate
trade, then there has never been any
time since the passage Of the Sherman
act in which a partnership could be
formed of partners, each dealing in diff
ferent commodities to engage in an in
terstate manu- iacturing business which
might develop into a intrastate busi-
ness. The proposition seems absurd,
particularly in view OF the language of
the supreme court in the tobacco, hard
coal. the Union Pacific merger and
other cases in regard to the law not
1orbidding normal contracts to further
interstate commerce.
AS a concluding argument, the at
torneys contend the criminal appeals
act. under which the government ap-
pealed from the decision of the Massa-
chusetts court was repealed by the en-
actment of the judicial code.
