Joseph Weldon Bailey's
Political Story a Sad One

The definite announcement of Joseph
Weldon Bailey that he will not be can
didate for United States senator from
Texas. marks the final passing Of truly
remarkable parsonage from national poll
tics
Endowed with an unusually attractive
personality, strong and forceful, no man
has ever figured in Texas politics who
attracted and retained so devoted a
band of followers.
Senator Bailey stood at one time the
most dominant figure in the national as
sembly.
There was no limit to the possibilities
open before him.
Had he been from an Eastern state,
he would probably have been the Demo-
cratic nominee for president on one or
two occasions.
Even at that he was rapidly drawing
near that goal, when he erred.
He longed for the flesh pots, for the
material things of life that great
wealth alone stands for.
AT the zenith of meteoric career he
chose to cast his lot with the interests.
His usefulness as servant of the
people ended.
There may perhaps have been no great
obliquity in what he did, but no man
may serve two masters.
Texas repudiated him.
II is saddening, for whatever the flu
ture may bring to Joe Bailey there must
always be a canker gnawing at his very
heart strings-the thought OF what
might have been.
