While hie article deals‘very gently with the present administra-
tion, Mr. Ballard explains, in telling of pressure brought „ l____
Clark to become a candidate in 1916, that "President Wilson was
nominated ch a oneterm nlatferm." And in discussing Clark’s posi-
, Ballard says: "He differed openly with
the administration on the Panama Canal tolls issue, a matter where-
on he felt that the party’s platform, mandate, and National interests
dictated his course." In another place, he remarks:
"The administration switched from a position against even the
amount of preparedness advocated by former Secretary of War Gar
rison to a position favoring conscription.” - — —----
"Speaker Clark,” says Mr. Ballard, "has been at all times un-
willing to fall in with the conception that the duty of a party mem-
ber is to vote/act, or follow blindly any influence other than that of
his own conscience.” Also, he mentions a general desire for economy
and "relief from many of the burdens and restrictions which war has
placed on the business and life of the people,” and holds out the
hope that under Clark we would, see a return to "old-time Demo-
critic simplicity in government”

ITASCA. Hill County, Texas, April
2T.—Senatot Ralley was kidnapped
here yesterday while en route to Hills-
boro to address an audience of several
thousand who had gathered there to
hear him. He was taken from the
Katv passenger’ train by dozens of ad-
miring frienda ana supporters, loal
eitizerin joined in this cou de etat
with several cnrlonds of Hillsboro peo-
ple who had come thia far to meet
Mr. Ralley and tke him on to Hills-
boro by automobile.
The senator was compelled to make
an address of twenty or thirty minute*
to several hundred people before he
could get their consent to proceed,

saved his voice for the Hillsboro ■peak-

hachie. he most eracloualy responded
to the vanimoun can for a brief ad-

proceeded toward Hillsboro. As many

as to what kind of a delegation should

how this committee had refused the
people of Texas what is wholly demo-

maries Instead of conventions, though
a primary had been forced on Mr. Bai-
ley and his friend* in 1908, he was
greeted with prolonged applause which
was renewed when he stated that he

challenged any one of the opposition
who might be present to dispute what

Woman Taksa the Stage.
When Mr. Collins presented Mra
Robertson to the audience that lady
came to the front of the stage, intro-
ducing Mr. Bailey In a manner that
brought forth tremendous round* of
applause. Mrs. Robertson stated that
she considered the privilege of intro-
ducing Senator Bailey to a home au-
dience was the geratest honor she had
ever enjoyed. She said she esteemed
if a great privilege to persent to her
friends and voter* from many soun:
tios a gentleman who had. for thirty
years, been fighting in fearless and
able manner the battles of the peop’e:
She said that she and other women of
the state were glad to have an oppor-
tunity to repay, in part, by attending
th. precine conventions and voting
for Mr. Bailey later, for Governor, the
manifold deeds that he had done In the
interest of th* people of Texas and of
th* United State* during hl* long and
useful career in Congress. She con-
tinued: “I am ns politician, as all
my Mends present and absent will
testify; but in spit of that fact I
have read and discussed with Intelli-
gent people the work and general ca-
tw of Senator Bailey until I am
convinced I am presenting to this au-
dlence the greatest statesman in
America; a man who is making a sac-
rice not easy to estimate to offer
for Governor of Texas and one whom

, position who has ever offered himself
ss a candidate in the history of Texas.
such a policy would bring about if
taken aerloualy the audience grew
more serious and declared they would
never adhere to such a foolish sugges-
tion.
The speaker's remarks concerning
the "inexcusable and almost criminal
extravagance of the present adminis-
tration," brought forth lusty applause,
and in this the farmers led the dem-
onstration. When he got to the ex-
planation of how and why cotton had

ence went fairly wild. Mr. Bailey being

Mr. Bailey spoke hi* usual Unas, be-
ginning his speech with the facetious
remark. "I wonder how many at this
audience' believe I am in Texas for
the purpose of 'bringing whiskey back
to Texas.’" This was met with loud
cheering. "I am sure," continued Mr.
Bailey, "to do all that I can to help
bring true democracy back to Texas,
and the interests of the brewerles may
look out for themselves; that is. to
say, they may do this. If there are any

in replying to Pat Neff’s request for a joint debate with Joseph
W, Bailey, Lulher Nickels, manager of the Bailey campaign, said
in part:
When the eliminators decide who they will substitute
for you (Mr. Neff) and the three other candidates for Gov-
ernor, and if he shall decide to attempt to discuss the issues
. . . Mr. Bailey will probably accommodate him to his
heart’s content.
Progressives have whispered about that Senator Bailey does not
eare to be Governor and will not continue in the race after the May
conventions, but Bailey has met these rumors with a flat denial.
There is no longer any question about what he will do. He is in the
fight to win and will stay to the finish. There is a question in many
minds about the permanency of the candidacies of the four "pro-
gressives” and this question is put squarely up to Mr. Neff by Mr.
Niekels.

committee, will presjde. Final plane

Catarrh is a condition of the blood
and can not be cured by local applica-
tions of sprays and douches; this has
been proven by the thousands who have
vainly resorted to this method of treat-
ment.
Catarrh should not be neglected or
experimented with. The wrong treat-
ment is valuable time loot, during
which the diseas© is getting a firmer
hold upon Its victim and making it
more difficult for even the proper
treatment to accomplish results.

nied him from Hillsboro had reached
Waxahachie yesterday evening, he be-
gan his address there before 4000 or
4500 voters, and received generous ap-
proval of his remarks throughout the
evening.
The Bailey party left Hillsboro on
an interurban car and were not long
in reaching Waxahachie, one of the
best towns in Ellis county, and which
is the center of the great “black lad
belt” of Texas. A band met the Sen-
ator and his friends at the station and
discoursed lively and patriotic airs,
concluding with “Dixie” Just before
Mr. Bailey began his speech.
Ellis county is the chief cotton grow-
lng county of Texas—or at least that
county has a just claim to that dis-
tinction—hence it was but natural a
large crowd from the country had come
in to hear the speech. Many women
were in the audiece, including members
of farmers' families, and it was quite
evident from the manner in which
they received the speech, as well as
the speaker, that they wil not attend
the precinct conventions and vote for
the Fort Worth principles, but will
Jater cast their votes for Mr. Bailey
for Governor of Texas. The same is
true of many at the women of Waxa-
hachie proper, judging from the cor-
dial greeting and their expressions be-
fore and after the meeting.
Mr. Bailey spoke along the Unes of
pure Jeffersonian democracy. His ref-
erence to state rights, the inexcusable
extravagance of the present national
and state administrations, seventeen
months after "a gun has been fired or
a bugle call sounded," his remarks con-
cerning the opposition, when he called
the name of several, giving the audi-
ence the benefit of remarks they have
recently made, which Mr. Bailey
pointed out were nothing short of non-
sensical. and his recital of the work-
ings of the "cotton committee” at
Washington, which had forced the
farmers to sell their cotton at from
$50 to $60 less than they were entitled
to, brought forth demonstrations of
approval, laughter and derision.
That the thousands who heard Mr.
Bailey were wholly in Agreement with
him to a man and a woman, was clear.
Mr. Bailey went into detail concerning
the work of this "cottbn commttee"
appointed by the President, the head
of which was Barney Barusch
"They told me Barney was a cotton
man,” said Mr. Bailey. ‘1 took it for
granted he was. I then asked where
are his farms? What mills is he in-
terested in? How tong an experience
has he had in dealing with the price
it takes to produce cotton, and has he
figured in the high price of labor and
many other things that must neces-
sarly be considered before he and his
committee may know What fair price la.

Stuart McGregor, for several years
connected with the local staff of the

season, all due to the “cotton com-
mittee." headed by Barney Baruch,
and the fact that the great United
States government had acted as pur-
chasing agent for the rest of the world
in the cotton movement, the farmers
present freely voiced their indignation
at such high-handed measures and
any administration that would permit
of such a thing being possible.
The Big Thing Now.
Mr. Bailey spoke eloquently and
forcefully for two hours and a half,
after which he summed up :I am devot-
ing all my time at present to the end
of getting back to democratic govern-
mental principles. I want to see waste
and extravagance done away with; I
want a frugal governmett, wisely ad-
ministered. and administered in the
interest of the United States and not
in the interest of the European coun-
tries, as the League of Nations would
result Above all, and going hand in
hand with all I have said, I want each
sovereign state of the union to retain
its rights, as guaranteed by the consti-
tution. which sacred instrument has
been too long overlooked. I want Tex-
ans to govern Texas, and leave that
prinvilege to each of the other sover-
eign states. I want to face about and
return to the teachings of our demo-
cratic fathers, under whose precepts we
builded in America the greatest gov-
ernment in the world, and one that win
endure as long as time, if we will
hark back to where the road forked and
our progressive democrats took the
wrong fork, which they have been fol-
lowing until they are lost in a maze of
nationalism and socialism combined
and know not where to turn for suc-
cor. Let us once agatn get on the well-
• beaten democratic path, and our pres-
ent perplexities, turbulent strife and
constantly appearing dangers will dis-
solve as does the mist before the ris-
ing sun.” (Prolonged apolause, hand-
shaking and a general demonstration,
with people crowding to the stage to
grasp the hand of the man who had
held them spellbound from his opening
sentence to the close).
The audience was quited for an
auspicious event before many had
landed on the stage. Mrs. Ella Stev-
ens Watson, daughter of Col: J. A.
Stevens of Covington, stepped in front
of Mr. Bailey, and in a speech, deliv-
ered in a tone of voice and with a
charm that would have done credit to
anyone, presented him with a hand-

The evangelistic services that are
in progress at the Central Christian
Church are attracting largo crowds.
Dr. H. C. Garrison, the new minister
at the Central Christian Church, is a
forceful speaker and presents his sub-
jects in such a manner as to hold the
attention of the entire congregation.
Several additions have already been
made to the church. W. E. M. Hackel-
mann of Indianapolis, Ind., whose serv-
ices have been secured to lead the
singing. is one of America’s best song
writers, and his book of male quar-
tettes is used by many churches. Mr.
Hackelmann sings a special solo every
evening, and in addition at th© close
of the service gives a short address,
with stereopticon slides, on the life
and work of the great composers of
sacred songs. A cordial invitation is
ly attained through “squandering
money like drunken sailors,” a large
portion of which expense was due to
the "swivel chair"’ employes who were
so numerous that they actually got in
each other’s way.
The reception at Waxahachie was
all that could have been desired; the
crowd was really larger than might
have been expected, considering the
weather, and. to use the words of some
of the farmers who had driven Into*
town with their families, "no other
man except Joe Bailey could have got
together a crowd like this on short
notice, facing such unusual weather."
Mr. Bailey was loudly acclahed as
the next Governor of Texas, to which
he replied that there was ample time
to look after that election, and that it
would be done, but just at present he
appealed tn all who believe in the Fort
Worth platform of principles to attend
the precinct conventions Saturday,
May 1. and vote for men of their be-
lief as delegates to the respective
county conventions.
Friends of Mr. Bailey in Waxa-
hachie prevailed upon him to spend
Monay night there, to the end that
he might secure sleep and rest. He
came into Dallas this morning between
doubly constitutionally dry, by both
a state and national constitutional
amendment” (Prolonged cheering.)
Mr. Bailey referred to a reported
statement made by Mr. Crane of Dal-
las, in which the latter suggested that
it was all right to "stretch ths consti-
tution” if it were necessary to do this
in passing what was conceived to be
a good law. He then went into a de-
tailed explanation of what this would
mean, if It were really carried out, and
by the time he had finished with Mr.
Crane the audience was in an uproar,

-----State’s Rights-
Reaching the question of state rights
Mr. Bailey went into that question at
length and the audience followed him
closely. "That is the cornerstone upon
which our government rests,” declared
the speaker, “and the principle on

manner than usual, and quoted Mr.
Thomas, where the latter had said "It
