WARRINGTON, April 1b.--Joseph We'll
don Bailey. former United States Sen.
ator from Texas. replied tonight to the
recent speech OF A. Mitchell Palmer, in
which the Attorney General asserted that
Mr.. Bailey had lost the vision of DEM
ocratic principlea
The people of this country" said Mr..
Bailey's letter, ARE anxious TO under
stand the differences OF opinion which
exist among men who call themselves
Democrats and will welcome a thought
full discussion OF those differences with
out any resort to offensive PERSONAL
ties. II will not satisfy intelligent men
to say those who differ with you have
lost the vision Of Democratic principles.
That is talking IN the clouae.' but so far
as the expression conveys any definite
meaning II strongly tends to CONFIRM
our objection to you because we know
that politicians with vision are always
visionary. and visionary politicians have
never done anything but make mistakes
in this world"
A Declaration of Democracy.
Tire former Texas Senator gave the
following statement Of Democratic prin-
ciplee:
II believe in a written constitution

provisions.
II believe in the right of each State
to make and emf, rec its own police
regulations.
IT believe in the right OF each State
to determine the qualifications Of its own
electors.
II believe that every man has a right
TO be as free as is consistent with the
peace and good order OF society.
81 believe that every relation existing
In any State--from the sacred relation
of husband and wife to the purely BUSH
ness relation Of employer and employee
so far as they may properly BIO resu-
lated by any law should be regulated
by each State for itself
81 believe in the right of every man
10 enjoy what he has honestly earned,
whether BY his hand or HE brain, and
deny the right OF any government to
take from him more than his fair con-
tribution toward the public expenses.
II believe In rigid economy and while
! believe that property should support
the Government I do not believe that
either the rich or the poor should be
taxed 10 support an extravagant gov
eminent.
81 believe in a sturdy craftsmanship
everywhere except IN our courts and I
believe In an impartial judiciary. which
CONSTITUTES the law without fear and
withou, favor
II believe in equal rights for all and
special privileges for none. I would pro-
tect the rights of a small class even
though IL happens TO be rich and
would not grant special privile ges to a
large class even though it happens 10
be poor.
