statement, made editorially by that
publication, is frank and s;ra .ll,
from the shoulder. II is the same
attitude that practically all Of the
Texas papers will ASSUME.
II follows:
"The returns show that Ncif
and Bailey will 20 into the second
primary for governor
"The News will give vers cord.
al support 10 Mr.. Nefi. AID will
20 everything in its power &c as.
sist him 10 defeat Bailey.
1T would be the greatest cqlam-
ity Imaginable if Bailey were to b.
elected governor.
But We cannot concriva to such
calamity coming 10 pas. The
primary Of Saturday was Barley
against the field. aud BAILEY GOT
less than one.thirl of the votes.
i'ailey undoubtedly pollrd almost
every vote that il is possible Ter
him 10 get. hence cannot eype.i "a
win in the second primary.
Every person who ,oiel ior
\eff. Thomason or Loon " should
support Neff in the August pri
mary, and thus bury Bailey witt
an avalanche Of VOTES. -
And the Rrownwood Bulletin
puts il this way:
