Blame Bailey For
Tydings Speech Here
CONTINUED from Page One.)

ers run smooth and clear" and one
of the diners remarked in an audible
aside then why does he want to come
down here and muddy them for?"
81 have heard Governor ALT Landon
make several better Democratic
speeches than the one made by Sena-
tor Tydings,' high State official said
here following the speech, Il regard
it as a disgrace and as an insult to
the Rooseveltian Democrats in North
Carolina and 1 think those responsible
for inviting Tydings down here owe
the Democrats of the State an apol-
ogy. What he said was undoubtedly
music to the ears of the Liberty
T,eaolle Dc ~,C~~o+r' g W. ~ there are
too many III -.--.h Carolina, but the
speech was an insult to the President
and to all those who believe in the
President and his policies"
IF those in charge of the so-called
Victory Dinner wanted to bring
speaker down here to attack Presl-
dent Roosevelt and insult the Demo-
Gratis who voted for him and believe
in him. they might as we'll have in
vited Senator Josiah William Bailey
of North Carolina to make the speech"
another Democrat who attended the
dinner, remarked after it was over.
For while no one hates the Presi-
dent and his policies more than Sena-
tor Bailey, he at least has sense
enough not to make the kind of
speech at home that Tydings made
here. For while Bailey fights the
President tooth and nail in Washing
ton, where he works hand in glove
with the Liberty League" Demo
Gratis and Republicans, he has sense
enough to tone down his opposition
when he makes speeches here at
home"
1t is regarded as significant, how
ever, that in the primary last sum-
mer, Senator Bailey was not able to
carry his home county of Wake, his
home city of Raleigh, nor the pre-
cinct in which he lives here in Ra-
leigh, despite the fact that he had
his chief political aide and Good
Man Friday, Herbert Gulley, at work
here for months before the election
Incidentally, it was learned here to-
day from an authoritative source that
Senator Tydings as the speaker for
the so-called Victory Dinner" and in
vited him down here, since Democra-
tic National Committeeman Lon Fol
ger, in charge of the dinner, turned
over the selection of a speaker to Sen
ator Bailey. It is understood that
Folger asked Senator Bailey to get
New DEAL speaker for the dinner.
But instead, Senator Bailey selected
Tydings, regarded as one of the most
rabid anti-New Dealers in Washing
ton. Friends of Folger maintain that
Senator Bailey more or less delibe-
rately double crossed" Folger by
sending down Liberty League" SEN
ator instead of New Dealer
Some are already beginning to be-
lleve that National Committeeman
Folger has been sucked in by the
Bailey faction almost completely as
was his predecessor, c. L. Shipping of
greensboro, former national commit
eeman and one-time campaign man
ager for Senator Bailey.
Observers here today are convinced
that nothing has so popped up the
Liberal Democrats" in the State and
injected new life into the Mcdonald
forces as the speech by Senator Tyd-
lngs. They are only hoping that Ma
1ional Committeeman Lon Folger and
senator Bailye will continue to keer
on making the same kind of mistakes
they have been making for the past
SIX months, convinced that if they do
the liberal Democrats" will have no
trouble in bringing about a real New
Dear In North Carolina in 1899.
