The Hardy-Mays congress-
ional muddle is still in a choatlc
state. What tho outcome will be
no one can tell. It looks like
this district will be without a
congressman unless the demo
crate take the matter in hand.
Hardy and Mays are both con-
tending for ihu nomination and
tho ‘only claim cither have is a
mere technicality. Why not the
democrats get together und de-
clare neither tho nominee and
put out a good man and elect
hi my If this cannot bo done the
democrats of tho district are uu
fortune. It deserves the best
thoughts of those learned iu the
law. This is nota Hardy-Mays
light, but one in which the demo-
crats are vitally interested.
Smoko up, boys, and let’s put
out a man and elect him.

The politicians of Texas are
holding anti-Bailey meetings iu
different towns of Texas. Some
Cameron parties held a meeting

hope no wont bring it out for the 1 ing for an explanation. Kock-
tirst. trip cm Saturday when the dale is about evenly divided for
aud against Bailey, but we will
hardly have a meeting, as we are
too busy attending to our affairs.
To Tho Reporter ibis seems to
be a tempest in a teapot Bailey
has doue nothing more than most
all congressmen and senators are
doing, and so long as ho repre-
sents the people and looks after
their interest we can see no
wrong in him practicing his pro-
fession. It seems that the
Tennessee property that he was
looking after was a good hoolthy
and wholesome proposition.

Maybe you dont
object to having
your clothes made of cotton-
mixed fabrics; possibly you
think * ‘a little cotton wont
do any harm. ' '
* ‘All right; but you do ob-
ject to paying a price based
on ‘‘a little cotton1' for
clothes that are more than
half cotton.
That ' s the trouble with all
adulteration in clothes, or
anything; the minute you ad-
mi t that “a J1 ttle doesn't
hurt anything,'' you've
opened the gate wide. We've
seen suits being sold at $20
and $25 that looked like the
price, but when tested,
showed nearly 50 per cent

On the contrary it seems to be a
trust breaker.
Do you know ot a single in-
sUiuce where Joe Bailey has mis-
represented Texas? Has he by
vote or speech aided or abetted
any trust or corporation during
his torm of office. He has been
in congress for the past 15 years
and his record is beforo the peo-
ple. You can always tell whore
to find him.
lie is recognized at the top
when compared with the best
talent in the senate, Shall Texas
take a step backward by destroy,
ing the Influence of one of the
most brilliant servants she has
ever sent to represent her :e the
National Congress.
It is our opinion all this fuss
aud feathers was inspired by
sorno one whoso interest is not
that of Texas aiui we think our
people should weigh the matter
carefuiiy oeiore they attempt to
condemn our Senator.
Then, again, what good can be
accomplished by these anti-
Bailey meetings ? Bailey was a
candidate before the people and
they have spoken, and unless the
same people speak by kallot
and repudiate him the legislature
will hardly vote against him.
You simply discredit your Sen-
ator and injure your State.
