SENATOR BAILEY
SPEAKS AT BELTON
On last Tuesday evening at
o'clock, United States Senator
Joseph W. Bailey spoke at Beiton
in behalf of the Fort Worth ticket
for electors to the national demo-
cratic convention at Denver,
The senator spoke Saturday at
Lufkin and Monday at George-
town and Taylor, arriving at
Temple Tuesday morning. He
spent the morning in our sister
city shaking hands and talking
to his admirers aud friends, and
left at eleven o'clock for Beiton
in company with a committee
from the Beiton and Temple
Bailey clubs, using two special
cars to accommodate the crowd
which accompanied him over.
Arriving at Beiton he immediate-
ly took a carriage and paid a visit
to the family of his late lifelong
friend, Dr. J. D. Law. In com
pany with State Treasurer Sam
Sparks; Joe Sappington of Tem-
ple, A. J. Harris of Gainesville,
Ike Culp of Killeen, Dr. Wilson
of Baylor College, John G. Mc-
Kay and W. M. Woodall, the
senator was entertained for
noon, luncheon at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. M. A. Stamper,
who were formerly citizens of
Cooke county, and friends of Mr
Bailey. Mrs. Stamper honored
the occasion with two very dis
tinguished '"pies" designated re
pectively, George Wasnington
and Joe Bailey, both of which
were relished very much by the
guests.
Senator Bailey arrived at the
skating rink, which ha£- been
prepared for the speaking, and
was greeted by an audience of
perhaps two thousand people,
the ladies being very much in
evidence. It is said that there
were in the city last Tuesday
fully four or Ave thousand people
and of course all did not have an
opportunity to hear the speaking
on account of the limited capaci-
ty of the house. The senator's
voice was somewhat impaired,
and it was plain that he sjioke
with much difficulty, yet he
could be heard in every part of
the house. Hon. Winbourne
Pearce of Temple made a few ap-
propriate remarks in reference
to Mr. Bailey and Sam Sparks
and was followed by Mr. Sparks,
who formally introduced the
senator In a few minutes speech
and was lavish in his praise of
the untarnished record in the
senate and in congress of the
junior senator. When Mr. Bai-
ley arose, it was some time be-
fore he could proceed with his
speech on account of the loud
and prolonged applause of the
crowd. In all material points
his* speech was along the same
line and covering the same
ground as his Lufkin address on
last Saturday. He differed
somewhat in the discussion of
Hon. Cone Johnson's speech
which was delivered at Beiton
about two weeks ago. About the
only new feature in reference to
Attorney General Davidson was
his allusion to the new facts con-
nected with Mr. Davidson's
rental property at Galveston,
which was published in the Aus-
tin Statesman of last Saturday.
Other than this the speech-was de-
voted to proving the inconsis-
tencies of his enemies and the
fight being made on him at this
time. Space forbids even a sy-
nopsis of the senator's speech in
the Democrat.
The senator expressed himself
as being much elated over the
reception given him at Beiton
and Temple. He left on the
west bound Santa Fe for Brady,
wheft he spoke on Wednesday.
