Fort Worth, Texas, March 21. As
a result of the big antl-Balley conven
tion in Waco recently and the feeling
that has developed between the Bailey
and antl-Balley factions, the state
democratic executive committee was
reconvened today by Chairman Oar
den and will order a special primary
election to decide on four delegates
at large to the Denver convention.
Senator Bailey has been placed be
fore the voters as a candidate for
delegate at large, the other members
of the proposed "Big Four" being
United States Senator. Culbertson,
Governor T. M. Campbell and State
Chairman Garden. At its meeting
last month the state committee decid
ed not to call a primary election, since
the state election law provide for pre
cinct conventions to send delegates to
a state contention. The opposition to
Bailey has now become so bitter,
however, that the friends of tk Wa
tingutshed Texas statesman are de
teruuuuu iu Live 3 pr1""" end allow
the voters to settle the matter.
The opposition to Bailey, once the
popular Idol of the democrats of Texas
grew out of his alleged connection
with the Waters-Pierce Oil company,
a subsidiary corporation of the Stan
dard Oil company. Enemies of the
senator declare that he was "white
washed" by the Texas legislature and
that the good name of TeXas demands
hla expulsion from public life. At the
recent anti-Bailey meeting in , Waco
there was exhibited a great oil can.
bearing the question: "Shall this, or
the people, rule the state?" With the
calling of a primary, the people will
have an opportunity to decide for
themselves.

HAILEY LEFT BIG ESTATE.
Late JuriHt Provided Well for the Fu
ture of Ills Family.
When Judge T. G. Halley died in
Portland Sunday night he left an es
tate that will amount to a sum In the
neighborhood of $40,000 and practl
cally all of the property goes to his
wife.
Life insurance, aggregating 126,000,
constitutes the prlnclpalpart of Judge
Halley's legacy and the policies were
all in favor of Mrs. Halley. In view
of the fact that some of the real
property owned by Judge Halley was
partly Incumbered the life Insurance
money will greatly assist in the settle
ment of the estate.
Aside from his insurance Judge Hal
ley owned the Alfalfarm ranch on
Wild Horse creek, which has 700 acres
of land and hla residence property on
the north side of the river In Pendle
ton. However, all of the real property
was deeded to Mrs. Halley at the time
of the Judge's former Illness. . . . .
..Other assets consist of the judge's
law library, valued at 14,000, notes
and accounts and stock In the Com
mercial National bank. In the opin
Ion of W. L. Thompson, cashier of
that bank, and who Is familiar with
Mr. Halley's business affairs, the es
tate will net between $40,000 and $60,-
000
Owing to the fact that the life in
surance and all of the property was
left to Mrs. Halley-the estate may not
be administered.
