q. Davis. and | viii rcltcraie We are
god friends We meet almost every
day. While Mr Dayia and myself are
good friends I am also friend and
admlrer 81 Senator Railey cannot
sit still and read these letters q his
without making protest. There ar
people here now who do not know why
Mi. Davis fights Mr Bailey. A. he
has referred 20 ancicn, history shall
do the same. Back about thirty years
ago or more Judge Hare u sherman
VAS the congressman from this dis.
trict. Judge Potter ana SIT Davis
wanted 60 run aginsi him We held an
election IN this county ard Mt. Davis
was chosen O. run against judge Hare.
The district convention was held here.
MI llailey was chosen 10 nominate Nj.
Davis which he did cloqucntly. When
he closed Mr.. Davis in the presence
VI that noble fellow. Yves HuWcth. aud
myself. said. That's the finest speech
] ever heard q young man make" The
votes werc very close. In the morn.
ing the convention got So stormy that
Mr.. Bailey was called ON o. take the
chair for the gentleman from Decatur
who vas chairman seemed 10 know
but little u parliamentary usuagcs Hs
Kept them from nominating Judge

and Judge Hare stood for reelection.
Again Mr.. Davis wanted e. run But
with two years more 81 AIR Bailey mi
Cooke county. the people 81 the county
thought best 90 put forward MIR bailey
Frum that day on h. became Jealous Of
Mr. Bailey and has never spoken al
him since. altho two years before Nj
Bailey had done all h. cuuld for him
Was not that ingraditude7 Past "a.
vors were soon forgotten. He has been
bis bltterea enemy ever since. 4 per.
sonai encIny o. any candidate should
IN my estimation. have very little
weight with the people In determining
their votes.
Mr.. Davis says while In congress h. |
u&aihyl made large fortune such
men as Air. Davis. Gen. Crane cullen |
Thomas and Cone Johnsun. working
With the Hearst ncwSpapcrs-thc foul |
eet sheet published IN America. ~ says
all thu democratic paprrs-tricd tul
prove that but did not. yet Mr.. Davis |
and his henchmcn failed To indlct him
cn a single charge although there wer,
more than a hundred. The majority
Of bOih committees went In to the IN
vesisgation believing him guilty.
Mr. Davis says Iailcys Indebtedness
10 the Water l'iervc company WAS
charged H. profit and loss. How manS
gOOd people IN Cooke county Who stood
fUr AIR Bailey in that memorable fight
VIII believe such an ASSERTION as that
Mr.. Davis has thought that ~ long
that be has nov come o. the cunrlus-
hon u was an actual fact.
Mr. DAVIS says In his twenty twoI
years In congress b. ltsaileyl dld NO,
sAy u0rd about the open shop. Don

VI them No lugic ln that. Mr. DAVIS
In his (Mr Davis1 articles he Ia,
nyer uttered a wVrd ABOUT the lszisuc
u nations. Have you ever heard hin
say a word commencing i'rt Sidcui
Mtle0ng Not q line has he written az
favor u either. he cannot do u unlc-.
he has changed MS mind In the las,
seven months. But when senator lial
ky came down here aud advocated tn,
same things that Alr. Davis and myself
were IN perfect agreement he might
have changed his opinions Do not
know about that II had been a Ions
time since Mr. Davis and myself were
m perfect harmony on political matter
yrt a. gors t. thu county convention
and. | AM told. writes a platform. 90
agrcts g. Onc. IN dirct opposition q
