DENIES GALENA REPORT.

In a letter to a friend at Gainesville
Texas, former Senator Bailey emphat
ically denies utterances attributdccd t(
him i'm respect to candidates and news
papers. He did not advise people to DIS
regard party ties in voting. and he dI'
not saw newspapers are the greatest en-
emies of public peace in existence. AS tt
the press report of his speech he says:
There is not an accurate sentence
in it from the beginning to the end.
Indeed. several of its statements are
exactly the reverse of what | said,
and the others are a gross miSrepre-
sentation of what ! said.
For instance. | did not advise men
to ignore party nominations and vote
for the best men regardless of par
ties. On the contrary, | declared that
parties were necessary in 4 govern
ment like ours. and that the public
good could not be promoted by de
stroying party discipline ~or party
fealtv. Ny advice to the democrats
in my audience was that they should
NOlt III tHtli primaries N 49,
tons TO nominate the best man who
offered himself as Il candidate. |
rendered that same advice 10 the re-
publicans. as well as the progress
siyes. and then declared that if every
man in his own primaries or con
ventionS would help TO nominate the
most upright and capable candidate
before them. the country would then
have the right kind Of men iii its
public Offices, no matter which party
might win.
The statement that Mr.. Bailey
warned his hearers against neWSpa-
pers as the greatest ncmlcS Of pub
lie peace III existence today is even
less excuSable than the statement
that | advocated the destruction Of
party lines: for | distinctly declared
that there is no agency more useful
in a free government than a news
paper which discusses AL public
questions with intelligence, courage
and fairness: and | warned my audi
ence only against those newspapers
(which continually miSreprcscnt pub
lie men whom they do not happen to
like. and obscure public questions
which they do not understand"
From Ill this if would appear that Mr.
Bailey has been strangely and wonder
fully misrcprcSented. The former sen
ator puts forward no theory by whicl
he o~ccountS for This rather Siuoul1r DpT
version of what he said, whether it wa,
due" to malice on the part Of the reporter,
or whether he might have said some
thing that sounded like that. In any
ease the senator's denial is entitled to L.
much publicity as possible.
