A main object of Senator
^Bailey aud tlie organs and in-
fluences behind him is to com-
pel the Democrats of Texas
to approve at the ballot box
all the things for which he
stands. There is no special
purpose that moves him to
contend for a seat in the Den-
ver convention save this, and
he himself has admitted that
\it is wrong for the man al-
ready enjoying a high office
to "hog" the honors of this
character. In this Gov. Camp-
bell, Senator Culberson and
every member of Congress
> jfireta Texas agree with him.
They differ in that he de-
mands the whole cheese and
nobody else does. He wants
the Democracy of Texas
fully committed to the great
wrong he has done. He
stands out for approval by the
people of his secret transac-
tions with the oil trust. He
\d
has never admitted that he
did wrong. He says he would
do it again. He is determined
to make the people say "Well
done, good and faithful ser-
vaut," to him for saving Tex-
as to the oil trust and for tak-
ing numerous loans and large
fees from the trusts even
while he "was supposed to be
serving the people in their
desperate fight against these
clients and friends whom he
was serving secretly. Only
one man besides himself has
asserted that he did right,
and that man is Mr. H. Clay
Pierce himself. Even his or-
gan grinders admit that what
he did was wrong; but; he does
not. One of his closest
friends, Col. Wynne, declares
that Senator Bailey's conduct
was "very indiscreet;" but
Senator Bailey insists that it
was all right, and is bent on
proving it by the people
whom the trusts are now
striving to overcome. "I do
not approve, and never have
trtSS"j!ro21 approved, everything Mr.
Bailey has done and said. I

id with n<i jiow tu, nuoj|jer Df jjls friends, Dr.
Rankin; but Senator Bailey
repudiates any such excuses,
and now demands that the
people repudiate them at the
polls. He repeats that ""he
has done nothing wrong and
that he would do if again;
and he puts it up to the Dem-
ocrats of Texas to add their
indorsement to the great in-
justice he has done thenr and
the party that hmz so highly
honored him.—Dallas News.

Anti-Bailey Ptattorm
Following is that part of
the platform adopted at Waco
by the anti-Bailey conference
touching on the question at
issue:
The supreme issue before
the American people is that
of the rightful and efficient
regulation of corporate enter-
prise, the restriction of trusts
and all other unlawful com-
binations and schemes to
throttle the freedom of trade
aud commerce. In this issue
is wrapt up the very liberty of
the citizens and the happiness
and prosperity of all the peo-
ple. No man should be on
duty as the servant represen-
tative of the people in any
capacity whose vision is blur-
red or whose voice is muffled
by unrighteous connectiou
with predatory wealth, As
said by Mr. Bryan, the great
exponent of the principles
herein announced:
"Put none but the trustwor.
thy on duty. The Demo-
cratic masses are aroused, and
they must not be betrayed by
representatives of the system.
Public servants are unfaith-
ful, who while assuming to

Executive Committee, par-
.-eptv.seut we pi^plty ;eceive*fTfsans of Senator Baf.ey, in
fees from, or rewards from
public service corporations,
trusts and criminal aggrega-
tions of wealth. They have
110 right to betray or endan-
ger the right aud interest of
their constituents by entang-
ling alliances with such inter-
ests.
"The practices of Senator J.
W. Bailey as disclosed by the
legislative investigation and
in the main finally confessed
by him, are indefensible, they
are in violation of Democra-
iic principles, usages and
traditions; destructive of the
public service and an offense
against the rights of the peo-
ple. We oppose his efforts to
have the Democracy of Texas
confer upon him a new office
and honor him by electing
him as a delegate to the Na-
tional Democratic convention,
aud call upon all true Demo-
crats who believe in the puri-
ty of public officials to join
with us In this movement.
"The right of the Demo-
cracy to select delegates to
tiie National convention by
primary election is inherent,
and has never been prohib-
ited by law; this ight was
denied to the Democrats of
Texas by the arbitrary action
of a majortiy of the State
refusing to submit to a pri-
mary election of delegates to
the Denver convention. Hav-
ing failed so far to secure
such a general primary elec-
tion, the only course left open
to the people is to exercise
their sovereign power, and we
submit to the Democrats of
Texas the names of foui dele-
gates at large and the same j cratic faith, we appeal to

To the Democrats of Tex.di:

ratify the platform and the
proceedings of the Waco con-
vention. This call is not ex-

Reports are spread by trav-
eling men that the Kirby
Lumber Mills and several
others will be running by
April first. If true, this will
be good news, for it will give
employment to thousands oi
men all through this section
and put into circulation piles
of silver dollars that are now
lying idle. The Journal
would gladly welcome the con
jfirmation of such good Xnews.
