THE BAILEY QUESTION.
Hundreds have asked us how we
atand on the Bailey and antl-Balley
question. This paper Is taking no
atock In the fight, believing that the
people are perfectly able and capa-
ble of making up their own minds,
and voting as their best Judgment
dictates. In our news columns we
try to report all speakings and oth-
matters In a fair and impartial
way, giving both sides a "square
deal." We honestly believe this the
mission of a Journal like this, and
have adopted tills motto. All
can't see alike on the Bailey
question, but there Is no sense in
failing out with each other, because
we can't agree. Your neighbor lias
the same right to his views—politi-
cally or religiously—as you have;
and if you deny him that right, then
you claim a privilege for yourself,
that you won't accord to your neigh-
bor. The editors of this paper are
an far apart on the Bailey question
aa are many of their friends and
readers. For instance, Mr. Perkins
Will vote for Senator Bailey and Mr.
Wilson will vote against him. But
we are going to remain friends and
co-laborers in the upbuilding of Mc-
Klnney and Collin county Just the
•ame; and neither one has undertak-
en the Job of converting the other.
Views of ClllxriM Widely Divergent
on Bailey Question.
I
Scatter your roses while nostril a
can Inhale and eyes can behold.
The Collin county horse and mule
market is anything but depressed.
Local grain porBpects continue
promising for a good yield this year.
Gov. Thomas Mitchell Campbell Is
real good and some better than he
expected to be.
The aephyrs will soon be laden
with the aroma of thousands of acres
of Collin county onions.
Mighty good time to use the split-
log drag. Give the candidates a
chance to do a little work.
Greenville has the commission
form of government. This is pro-
greaslveness. Why shouldn't Mc-
Klrney have?
Hon. Alton B. Parker Is a delegate
to the Denver convention. He will
probably take a dip in the Hudson
before he goes.
Four good roads leading into Mc-
Klnney would mean nearly four
times the business our business men
are doing these rainy, muddy days.
Go out to the primary May 2 and
vote. You may have never voted In
a democratic primary before. The
doors of the democratic party are
wide open. If once you get true de-
mocracy Into your cuticle, It may
never get out. If you fall to get
your choice in the primary, you are
virtually down and out, because all
Texas Is solidly democratic. (Jo out
to the polls and vote.
We are all going to live here, af-
ter May 2, hence let us be careful
what we say about each other, be-
cause we will be neighbors, and
ought to be friends also. Let us
all keep perfectly cool, and go to the
union revival.
The views of the voters of Texas
on the Bailey question are widely
divergent to say the least and demo-
cratic1 harmony seems to be, to use
an expression of the late Senator
Ingalls of Kansas, an "Irrldescent
dream." The antl-Balley adherents
contend that the Junior Senator has
violated the time-honored principles
of the Democratic party In Its stead-
fast opposition to monopoly, while
the Bailey advocates stoutly deny
this and proudly point to him as one
of the greatest living exponents of
Democratic principles. In the fol-
lowing from a recent open letter of
Congressman George F. Burness of
the Ninth Congressional district to
the Democratic voters of his district,
the views of the Bailey advortites on
this question, which has so pro-
foundly stirred the people of Texas,
are well epitomized:
"My critical examination of all the
evidence, as well as my Intimate as-
sociation with him here for seven
winters In Washington, confirms my
opinion that he (Senator Bailey) Is
an honest and Incorruptible man,
and I believe him to be the ablest
Democrat in public life. I believe
he has ever been loyal to Democratic
principles and policies, and has
stood unfalteringly the friend of the
people. Whether we approve all that
Senator Bailey has said and done or
not, whether we admire him or not,
the fact remains without possibility
of dispute, that he was nominated
in a Democratic primary, regularly
called under Democratic law, which
action was indorsed by a regular
state Democratic convention, in pur-
suance of which he was elected by a
Democratic legislature, and sub-
sequently, upon charges Hied, was
by said legislature Investigated and
exonerated.
"haying aside all feeling, and
viewing the matter from the stand
point of a party Democrat, it does
seem to me that this action by Dem-
ocratic party and public oflUclals, un
der Democratic party and public
laws, ought to settle all differences
among Democrats as to Senator Bai-
ley's eligibility for the senate, and
to close every loyal Democrat's
mouth as to those differences. If
we are to preserve party discipline,
party harmony and party integrity,
we must accept and obey Democratic
settlement of Democratic differences.
If this action in Bailey's case Is not
loyally accepted by Democrats, then
we are at perfect liberty to act the
same way with reference to every
Democratic nominee for every office
in the state down to constable.
Whenever we think a man who is un-
worthy has been elected to offllce.
if we are at liberty to continue a
war on him, we are in the midst of
party anarchy, and Democratic or-
ganization ceases to possess potency
as a medium for the preservation of
our principles and policies."
