JlJDUB BELL AND THE BAILEY
QUESTION^
, Freestone’* Rvpresetitati^,
>„ Hon. J. Ross Bell, stated ..to, the,
editor, Thursday, that he won
leave for A us tinf Saturday. 1
In conversation with Mr. BelL
in reference to the 'Railew-mat-
ter, hedinaid, he considered it
his duty to vote for Bailey,
'to 'the ,recent primary vote in
this county. Mr.' Bell fully
agrees with the Recorder, in
its position that the Democracy
of Freestone county had a per-
fect right to rescind the action
of the primary, if 1 majority of
them so expressed thernsetves.
- Be also stated that he did not
believe that countirrs, no matter
how .they voted, had a right to
bind other counties in the vote
for Senator -"that each repre-
'_sentativ“ should be bound by
the wishes of his county.
We also tind that Mr. Bell fav-
ors an investigation of the mat-
ter bythe Legislatu re.
As it stands now, Mr. Bell
considers Bailey the nominee,
and he will vote for him, unless
the county takes adverse action.
That he- believes the Democrats
of Freestone county have a
“““ perfect right, if a majority of
them so express themselves, to
revoke the action of the primary.
However, he think? that the ac-
tion of the July brimary could
only be revoked by another pri-
mary held for that purpose.
Judge Bell is not advising the
peqple at all what they should
do, and that he feels and be-
lieves that he should abide by
the majority vote of his constit-
uents. . .
The Houston Baj- Association
i&. Composed of n body of men
.wivk high in intelll2SI2Cfc
integrity and ability. It held its
1 annual meetingiti Houston* Sift7
urday night, and to succeed
President Thos. H. Ball, H. F.
Ring, a man who at one time
was the law partner of Jim
Hogg, but who recently came in
to prominence by hfiing villified,
denounced and branded as a
scoundrel, for leading the tight
against a certain United States
Senato, who afterwai-ds admit
ted tharhe gyt the goods. Ring
was president of the Houston
Hood Government Club that
. started in to open the “kitties’
ayes.’’-
Land values in Freestone
county are rapidly increasing,
and outside capita! are reaching
for it. Did you know that Free-
stone and one or two southern
connties are the only counties
outside of the west that has
such cheap land? This is due
to being cut off heretofore. Con-
ditions -are changing and land
is increasing in price* and will
continue to do so.
As no man has dared 4o came
out la the open as a candidate
againsf Mr. Bafley, bis election.
Speibs secure, altho’ sentiment
“against him-seetns to be grow-
‘ifrjar. Had Texas a man as big,
as brainy, as clean, and as -*hon
est as Jim Hogg to represent the
p£ople..in a race against the trust
lawyer, tfie result woi§ld be dif-
ferent Again, the Bailey men
are working the nomination rack-
et for all its worthy And with
good results. As we undeiyutand
pemocracy, it is founded on
broad principles, and we do not
believe that Democracy means
that when a man is proven un-
worthy, tnata majority of those
who, when no contest was on,
selected him, cannot revoke
their action. t If a majority of
the Democrats of Texas, after all
then
should be elected. But give the
people of Texas a ohance to ex-
press their views with the bal-
lot, since Joe Bailey is the self-
confessed hireling of a trust
president, who has been and was
a fugitive from a Texas felony
indictment. Then, with all the
facts known, and a majority want
him, we will acquiesce in so far
as the fight at present ’ is con-
cerned, and we believe that all
other Democrats will do the
same. Democracy would not be
the Democracy we love to honor,
did it prevent the rank and file
from rescinding a pseudo nomina
tion, when fActs developed that
proved the nominee totally un-
worthy of the honor. Many honest
Democrats in T#xas today believe
that the recent developments
provd Joe Bailey is unworthy.
On the other hand many believe
Joe can do no wrong. Give us a
chance to which-., aids sss
bers the most. .

The New Year has dawned
and is with us. The past year
has been a momentous one to
Freestone County. The pres-
ent year will exceed the last, as
the county* will be rapidly forg-
ing its way to its place in the
front ranks of East Central .Tex-
as counties. Let everyone ex-
pend their best endoavoib to-
ward the development of the
county. Don’t be a knocker,
but praise your county. If it
don’t suit you, resolve that you
will seek a country that will.
Let us all be harmonious and
work together for the good of
Freestone county. It is a great
old county that has never had- a
chance before. Tls era of devel-
opment is At hand.
Bailey carried, Comanchexoffn-
ty last Saturday by about 11 to 1.
The usual primary vote in the
county is over three thousand,
but Saturday only about 1400
votes were cast.' The .Senator |
spent several days there* being
recalled, after leaving, and was
also • represented by able men
from different section#- of tin?
State. The opposition had only
four or five speakers.
President Roosevelt’s order
dismissing the negro soldiers at
Brownsville, Texas, promises to
result in a row in Cpngress, as
some of the Republican leaders
are going to try to over-ride the
President’s order and reinstate
tbe negroes in the army. The
President will receive the sup-
port of the Djepipcrats, and Sen
ator Culberson will be the prin
ctpal leader in the defense.
Dec. 30. Christmas is over, and no
one married in the country. Don’t see
why some of the young folks don’t
marry. We have nice, pretty girls,
and of course, nice, steady young men,
and Judge Goodwin is ready to per-
form the ceremony free of charge
The Judge is all smiles.

A Tremendous Transformation.
After a week’s absence, while
the editor was enjoying life in
old Mexico, the Mexia News is
again a much appreciated visi-1 swollen fortunes
tor to our exchange table.
What 130 years will do'for a
country can be illustrated ad-
mirably by comparing this con-
tinent today with Christmas,-
1770,~*when Washington crossed
the Delaware to attack the Brit-
ish at Trenton, N. J. No grand-
er transformation scew was ev-
er accomplished in a like period
in the world's history. Then top
Americans were ragged and
poor* .making all sorts of sacri
flees cheerfully in the struggle
to sustain the new Declaration
of Independence; low America
is so rich the curtailment of
k.
makes other people like you. J
Hide your little kiarn,B^r add
speak a grfod Word of your
neuchbofs. This redainds us of F
an old-friend who was the family ]
-physician when the writer wAira
small boy and prostrated vrith -a
severe case of pnetimortra—-‘cqn-’j
sidengd hopeless by our rela- I
tives. It is as bright in our
memory as The happenings of
yesterday. The old man of med-
icine was kneeling over ohr
form administering a pqultice
to relievelthe , ravages of pain I
and disease. Having heard our]
father often speak of him as I
being the wealthiest mao in the
county, our mind was centered
that .one thing wealth, and
we asked the pld physician
how he had accumulated so
much property and money,
Tbe reply was: “By attending
to my own business one-half of
the time and letting other peo-
ples’ business alone the other
half/’ And it was tbe liten%l
truth. When he had a doubt-|
ful case he stayed with it night
and day, never giving up prac
tice and administration of rem
edies as long as there was a
spark of life. Result—every-
body knew that he was attend-
ing to his own business—that
of a physician and they de-
manded his "services for that
reason and paid him big fees;
There is a good lesson in this.
