the old wig party was merged into

Bailey has never surrendered except

he would rather see the democratic
party defeated than TO yield his con-
victions to other parties.
His criticism OF President wilson
Is proof that he is willing to turn the
nation back 10 the Republican party
and his coming to Texas as spokes-
man for the defeated politicians and
leading in the formation OF a new
faction, shows that he is willing to
break up the democratic majority in
Texas and turn the state over to

So confident is the Senator from,

Underwood was ready to concede

1t was apparent that if Under
