BAILEY MAY RUN
ON TEXAS TICKET

Fort Worth, Texas, Aug. 13.-
Former Senator Joseph w Bailey re.
turned to Texas from Washington last
night to take the leading part in the
convention of anti-Wilson Democrats
of Texas, who will meet to launch the
Texas Peoples Democratic party.
The new organization has arisen, ac-
cording to a statement by its supper
ters, as a protest against wisconsin
against national prohibition and
against national woman suffrage.
The party is expected to rally to his
standards all the Democrats who have
ben out of sympathy with the present
administration as well as that class
of voters which has put upon Presi-
dent Wilson the blame for the present
industrial unrest and disorder and the
disturbed business situation.
Another element which is believed
to foreshadoW some measure of sue
cess to the new party is the sudden
growth of Republican power, which
has taken many voters who formerly
were Democrats.
Former Senator Bailey indicated on
his arrival that he would personally
go on the ticket as candidate for gov
ernor or United States senator,
though he refused to commit himself
absolutely until the opening Of the
convention. He said however, that he
would sacrifice his personal desires to
stay out of politics If his candidacy
would result in success for the party.
Since Thomas Jefferson's own par
ty has repudiated the fundamental
principles of Democracy said sena-
tor Bailey, I believe the United
States is standing in the shadow of
a great menace.
Like every other true Democrat,
I win do what / can to call this coun-
try to halt, and to turn it back to
those sacred principles of government
for which our forefathers fought.
IF it becomes necessary believe
every true citizen will sacrifice his
personal interests for the good of the
cause.

Various Cities In Southwest Louis

Various cities in Southwest Louis,

ship in the proposed class d baseball
league for 1920, have been invited to
send representatives to Lafayette to
attend meeting called for 2 o'clock
next Monday afternoon, August Is, and
permission will be asked Of the Elks
for the meeting to be held at their
home.
Manager McNaspy requested the
call to go out in the name of the AS

tering baseball in this city as an
advertising medium. The invitation
will be mailed to the various cham
| bers of commerce in New Iberia,
Crowley, Opelousas, Rayne. Jennings,
AbbeyilIe, Lake Arthur, Lake
Chr1es, Morgan City, Franklin and pos
sibly others.
It is planned now to organized an
eight-elub circuit, but this may be
reduced to six clubs when the field
is thoroughly gone over. Lafayette
Lake Charles, possible Alexandria,
Opelousas, Crowley and New iberia
are believed to be sufficiently large
to support baseball team, while Ray

and Crowley, from which cities il
could draw TO rsupport on non-con-
flicting schedule, is a possibility. Alb

undoubtedly will want to be let in on
the league. all feeling like they are
big enough to be regarded as cities.
The movement is started now be-
cause it will take some little time to
organize the league, get grounds and
put them IN shape for fast baseball
and finally to organize the teams. It
will require three or four months
time at least, to do all these things.
The season probbly would open May
and run five months, maybe only four
with the season divided in halves and
the winner of each half playing post
season series t odecide the champion
ship and settle the pennant question.
Lafayette has demonstrated this
season that it is willing to support a
high class baseball team Not only
have her citizens responded literally
to solicitations for big general fund,
but the people generally have been
turning out in large numbers to the
games. Rayne, Lake Charles, Able
vile and New Iberia also have done
well in this regard. and all have their
baseball parks now and possibly could
get them for next year.
TIE advantage Of league ball over
the independent free-lance article is
many fold 1t has salary limit that
all must live up to. It regulates the
swapping and switching and borrow
ing of players and furnishes competent
umpires for all games and these UNI
pires are clothed with authority and
are backed up therein by the league

ling and grabbing that have hurt the
game so much this season It pro
vfdes a set schedule and, best Of all,
it will furnish a definite object to be

PARKER TO GUIDE

organization to aid in the fight to Gu
the high cost of living. He believes
his old staff will gladly render the ser
vice asked by Attorney General A
Mitchell Palmer. He has SO notified
Mr. Palmer
The attorney generals plan is to
! have each Of the administrator appoint
a fair price committee in his parish.
Each committee will include retailer
Eof groceries, dry goods, representa-
tive of the producer, of organized lab
or, and of the housewives, two of the
public generally, also wholesaler
when practicable. The committee is
to pursue the same course as the fair
price committees of the Food Admin
istration during the war
In addition to enlisting the parish
administrators, Mr.. Parker is asked to
furnish the Department of Justice
general view of the situation in this
state. Any evidence of boarding or
other violations of the food laws de-
veloped by the committee system,
should be turned over to the United
States district attorney, who will CO.
operte in furnishing profiteers
Il have wired acceptance OF the
task said Mr.. Parker upon his re-
turn to the city on Monday, and have
asked further information and instruc-
tions.
eMr. Palmer's plan" he continued, /
will probably have healthy effect. /
To my mind, however, the greatest
benefit can be obtained by intelligent |
ly bringing the consumer and pro-
ducer closer together. Mayor Behr-
man gave an example OF what could I
be done when he helped both the farm
er and consumer by selling Irish pota-
toes at a fair price to both. The ba-
con from War Department is also a
sample of what can be accomplished.
