lam Jennings Bryan will control
two of the four deleEates-at
Mr.. Bryan himself having qualified
as one of the four. Senator Hitch
cock was disincliped to believe,
however. that Mr.. Bryan will con-
sent to go as a delegate-at-large,
in view of the fact that the SEN
ator won the Presidential prefer
ence vote and elected the other two
delegates.
The victory won by Senator Hi
ram Johnson in the Republican pri-
mary was ascribed by Senator
Hitchcock to an amalgamation of
all the forces Of discomfort. The
Senator's comment as as follows:
The heavy vote for johnson is
due to a combination of the Ger
man-Americans who were dissatis-
fed with the Democratic party for
going into the war; the Norparti-
san League; organized labor; the
women voters and the rest due to
the high cost OF living. In fact,
Senator Johnson appears to be the
apostle of the discontented."
Senator Hitchcock announced that
caucus of the Democratic Sem
atcrs to settle the question CT the
minority leadership will be held
next Tuesday

and he has attacked the course Of
President Wilson and his admins
tration since its beginning. its Mex
ican policy. its friendship for So
cialists and socialism, its conduct
of the war, its unconstitutional
methods, it's autocratic character,
and its wastefulness. He has fur
nished much material which could
be easily incorporated into a Re-
publican speech in the next cam
paign.
Split on Prohibition.
The northern part of Texas is
strongly prohibition. The southern
part of Texas, where there is a
large German population, and a
large Mexican population, is anti
prohibition. Upon an issue as to a
change of the State constitution
giving woman suffrage, the people
of the State voted against it. al
though the Democratic State con-
vention had declared in favor of II
The Democratic legislature, there
fore. when the question of the An
thony amendment came before It,
promptly ratified it.
Mr.. Bailey makes speeches on
the prohibition issue which appeal
to the opponents of national prohi-
bition, and, therefore, to a large
number of voters in South Texas.
He denounces the Democratic ma
chine for forcing the legislature to
approve the woman suffrage
amendment and thus flagrantly de-
feating the popular will expressed
in the referendum on the same is
sue. His attack on woman suf-
frage appeals to the antiprohibition
sympathizers. Senator Bailey at
tacks the league of nations with
all the vigor and bitterness of a
bitter-ender, and it is a chief count
in his indictment against the ad-
ministration.
Whatever else may be said of his
campaign, 1t is true that he has
stirred Texas. He is stumping the
State as he has rarely stumped it
before. He is speaking to great
crowds and apparently receives
widespread expression Of sympa-
thy with his views.
Old Wounds Reopened.
A striking trait of Mr. Bailey is
to make political issues personal
Few men in any State have had
as intense personal support and
opposition as Mr.. Bailey. He is a
man of wonderful fluency and
beauty of speech, of grace of ad
dress, of handsome physique and
most attractive personality. He is
not measured in his language, nor
can he be said to be judicial in his
political judgments.
The situation in Texas is one as
to such a campaign as
Mr.. Bailey is waging as 1t well
could be. There is undoubtedly
much antagonism to the admins
tration. Texas is a State from
which three Cabinet officers have
been taken, and all from one ward
in Austin. and from the same ward
comes Col. House. This is not Civ
ing the administration the strength
in the State which might be an
ticipated.
Mexican Policy in Contempt.
The Mexican policy of the admin
istration all through Southern
Texas is held in much contempt

ington. This prophet declared that
the Republican situation in his
State is ''tickIish." He expects Gov.
Lowden and Senator Harding to run
third and fourth.
1t is considered unlikely that any
candidate will run so far ahead in
the c. o. p. primaries as to win the
States entire delegation Of eight
members, this politician declared.
Senator Henry L. Myers, of Mon
tana. Democrat, said: "'rhe race will
be very close. The fight is very
hot in my State because the Repub-
licah and Democratic parties in my
State are almost evenly divided in
strength.
While there is no indication that
the State will produce a favorite
son 1t has put forth a promising
candidate for Vice President in Gov.
Samuel V. Stewart for the Demo-
cratic primaries"
Representative John NJ. Evans, Of
Montana. Democrat, declared that
while no Democrat has filed for
President, McAdoo is by far the
strongest in the State. Palmer may
poll enough votes to secure a dele
gate or two but is not as strong as
McAdoo, Evans declared.
There are normally between a40,-
600 and 250.ooo registered voters of
each party in Montana.

Stirs Texas BY Bitter,
Aggressive, Personal Campaign,
With Administration as TARGET

Something equivalent to the Ger
man-American Alliance exists in
that part of the State, and its con-
stituency will strongly support Mr..
Bailey. The heavy weight of taxa
tion has made many grumbling
business men turn to him. All the
opponents of the treaty, such as
they are. will vote for him and his
ticket. There is also working for
him that natural desire for change
after eight years OF power. with
all the disappointments and enmi-
ties that grow out of its exercise.
The elements supporting Mr.. Bailey
don't agree in these views, but har-
mony among opponents is not nee
essary to create effective union
against another.
On the other hand, as against Mr.
Bailey. will be the State machine
and the national administration.
His reported comment on the Lusi-
tania outrage, his inertness during
the war and the suspicion of his
pro-German sympathies, all rouse
the antagonism of the American Le-
gion and the veterans of the late
war. and these constitute a formid-
able political group.
The Dallas News and the Calves
ton News, which are under the same
management, and which form the
strongest newspaper influence in the
State, are strongly against him, as,
indeed. they always have been. The
Houston Post. another powerful pa
per. which was an old-time SUD-
porter of his, has changed hands.
and is now also against him. He
has the backing of some newspa-
pers, but they cannot be said to
Offset his opponents. All the mem
bers of the Texas Congressional del
egation have expressed theL oppo-
sition to Mr.. Baileys attitt-e and
purpose, and their views carry
weight
Texas Intensely Partisan.
The question whether Mr.. Bailey
will succeed is one upon which there
is much difference of opinion. One
cannot talk with anyone on the cars
and hotels or anywhere else in the
State without disclosing a Baileyite
or an anti-Baileyite. 1t is perhaps
dangerous for a mere visitor and
casual observer travelling about the
State to hazard an opinion as to the
result.
In spite of the brilliancy and
vigor of Mr.. Bailey's campaign.
however. it seems likely to fail
Crowds, enthusiasm and excitement
are often misleading.
Republicans in Ohio were wont
to welcome Mr.. Bryan in a cam
paign, because, while he reused
Democrats, he stirred Republicans
to the danger of defeat and the
necessity of voting. So Mr. Bailey
will rouse the great body of reg
ular Democrats. These conserva-
tives are likely to see to it that
he does not win.
While there are many Of them
doubtless who criticize the admin
istration for its obvious blunders,
perverse mistakes and aggravatine
attitude. they do not subscribe to
the general Indictment which Mr..
Bailey presents. They know that
in so doing they will be repudiating
the Democratic party itself and
that their national convention can
not give the slightest countenance
to Mr.. Bailey's views.

American shoes are selling 50
cheap in Stockholm that the swed-
ish government has been forced
to legislate them off the market to
protect home manufacturers and
dealers. The report here that "a
900 pairs of American shoes had
been held from further sale by or
der Of a royal ordinance" caused
considerable comment here, and
recalled the interesting history Of
the shoes. American manufactur-
ers q year ago sold 100000 pairs to
two Englishnen in Stockholm. Lack
of shipping facilities prevented the
goods from getting abroad until
fall. Their value had greatly in
creased, but even at the higher
price the Swedish merchants kick

Appeals to the voters of Nebras-

record of the Wilson administration
there would be "a considerable re-

courages this kind Of campaign, but

find genuine response"

Rep. Sanders, Of Indiana, went up
into Pennsylvania recently to make
a speech and while he was in a
meeting one OF the local oracles was
called upon to make an address
The oracle unwound his beard from
the rungs Of his chair. advanced to
the platform and. with great hesi-
fancy said:
81 don't know that 1 can make q
speech. CPauseO There are many
questions before us. however. which
deserve consideration and extended
discussion. CPause.D One OF them
is prohibition. CPsuse1 some

I'm not saying whether i think q
is right or wrong. CVery long

with me: Prohibition has caused q

That final statement broke up the
meeting and the oracle escaped
without going on record for or
against liquor.
