opened his campaign here last night
before capacity audience Most OF
his speech was an attack on Bailey.
He denied that Bailey is a Democrat
and challenged his war record and
his position on prohibition.

cular, which appears to hav9 been
prepared by union men, Intended TO
inflame the farmers. is really being
distributed by Bailey and his CO.
horts." and that men who refuse TO
give their names are distributing the
circulars
Neff stated his own position on
labor. in effect that both capital and
labor have the right TO organize. TO
collective bargaining. to transact
business through representatives of
their own choosing; that man has
a right to quit his Job when he wants
to and that another man has a right
TO take his job and he is protected BY
law.
Neff declared Bailey viii not
vote the Democratic ticket this
fall. II he carries out his threat
that he would Hnever vote for the
things that Wilson and Sheppard
stand fOr.7
He quoted Bailey's statement from
Washington that he would not care to
hold an office in which he could not
carry his own county. and referred to
Cooke county. which was carried by
Thomson against Bailey.
About 500 people from other cities
attended the speaking. Fort Worth
