HOUSTON, Texan. April (Special.) 'The campalpn hrhIiinI Senator Hailejr that conies to a. rlnm milh midnight fol lnurK M:.yd:iy mnrks a chapter in one of the fiercest political battles in the huUory of any of the atatra. The attempt to de throne Matt Quay in Pennsylvania mark practically the only parallel, and In de gree of personal animosity cn Rendered, compares like a mimical festival to a Jumher ramo hraml. Senator Bail-y seeks to ro to the Den ver convention of the Pcmocratlc party aa one of the four delrgatea at large from the State of Texas. He has been at tacked before, but, claiming pledge, won the fight for re-election to the Senate. Now, while the office la small the prin ciple Is great. It la one of vindication or censure. Texas i. overwhelmingly 1 democratic, and in the primaries, in which only whites may participate, the great battle are fouclit and won. If Senator Railey receives the most votes in the primaries of May 2, he goes, vindicated by hia people, to IVnvcr and Into the Democratic t'nnvontion. If he lose. It Is believed that he will be forced to resign his seat In the upper house of tYmgress and a verdict nf guilty ren dered hy a Jury of :Wrt.M0 voters, his friends say, mould end his political ca reer. He stands charged with betraying the people of Texas to the Waters-Pierce Standard Oil subsidiary company at a time when tie warfare between the com monwealth and the trust was raging. Bo frail In Political bVud. It la the culmination of a political war fare that started two years ago In a polit ical feud. Night and day for two months the alignment for the fight at the polls on May 2 has been in process of forma tion. Texas ha been swept from border to border. Hearing, figuratively, the white crops of a Crusader, Cone Johnson, a man of the church, has toured the ftate, visiting cities, towns and hamlets, fighting against the Senator. Bailey himself left his post of duty at V ashing ton and returned to enter Into the lists of battle. Refusing joint dis- , iiisslon, he ban, like his "most worthy opponent," stormed first one stronghold and then another. Straining his magnifi cent voice to the breaking point, he has hurled his philippics and denunciation upon his enemies. A host of speakers have taken the stump against him. Almost every great man In a state wheer great orators are still to be found as during the ante-bellum days in all the South, has assumed a prominent Vart In the remarkable pyrotechnic ex hibition. Ulood has been shed. No man seems to be without, his conviction, and inas much as the Issue is one that impugns the honor of a Senator, the feeling has been high. While in Montana men waved great rolls of money upon the occasion mbon Clarke mas lighting for a SVnator ehlp, In Texas men waved their six-shooters at a time when a Senator seeks se lection to go to the Denver invention as delegate at large from the state and rep orsontative of the Democratic party. Threats of Bloodshed. Senator Railey says he w ill be vindi cated by a majority of 1.oth. His op ponents say that he will never go to 1 enver. "If I don't It is because I am assassin nted,' he has replied. About him constantly hover the secret pervlce men of his bodyguard as he trav els over the state. Judge eUrald of Waco has dared him to fight It out with pistols, but Railey has declined. ' Colonel "Bill" Cram-ford of Dallas has denounced htm as a thief and a liar and walked the streets armed and ready for the fray. ("ullen Thomas of Waco challenged Rai ley to its hia name in denunciation just once after hia Houston speech and escape retaliation In blood. For a month Texas has been literally divided into two armed camps. It mas the same during the Investigation at Aus tin In the winter of lPOrt-1907 when every one of 30 men allowed In the committee room snt with revolvers in their pockets, ready for the fray that was but narrowly avoided on several occasions. The day of the primaries is expected to pe one of violence and difficulty. Never mas feeling hlbher In a state where men have been raised m'ith aversion to foot racing. In plain Enclish. those opposed to the Senator say he is a liar, a thief and a traitor. His friends say that anyone who .gives voice to the accusation is a hyena, a falsifier and a cutthroat. Roth sound their declarations In the picturesque verbiage of the treat Pout h west. A nation awaits the result of the most picturesque political struggle in America, South Will i.et Benefit. Because the South would bo the larg est beneficiary tinder the drainage act, an effort was made by the Secretary of the Interior to have the bill amended so that the Government could Increase the fund by making loans to those states which have no public lauds remaining, and hence which cannot contribute to the fund. At first the suggestion was met mlth approbation, and Southern Senators gladly took up the suggestion; but when the b.Jl was up for final ac tion these same Senators voted against the loan feature, thus curtailing- the amount of work that can be done in their states. Naturally. If the bill be comes a law. the state contributing; the funds mill insist upon being the first to benefit, and justice would demand that they receivo the first benefits under- the law. Nevertheless, the very Senators who objected to enlarging the fund by loaning- Government money, will be the first to put in appearance and demand the lion's share of the fund. The drainaae proposition la entirely meritorious; Just as meritorious as the reclamation a-t. and would add to the arable, area of the United States iom thina; like fto.ooo.AO acres of land, which would be of srreat value once the surplus water Is drained off. Plana for Administration. The arenera.) administration of the dralnaae art la fntendted to follow the line of the administration of the re clamation art. and If Western men ran dictate, they will place the administra tion of the drainage act under the Re clamation Service. The Secretary of the Interior mould have entirp charfre. but mould place the immediate administration In the hands of the chief engineer of the Reclamation Service. The drainn(re bill, as stated above. Is by no menns a lam-; a serious difference of opinion In the linuse committee mould prevent Its consideration this session, or a determined opimsitton on the floor of the li-uee miaht be fatal. However, the real friends of the bill are determined to exhaust every means at their com mand to get the bill through, and they have some slight hope of success.

Ttvo Sailors Charged $ for Meal Secure Reinforcements and Bom bard tlic 1'lace With. Stones. SANTA BARBARA, Cal., April 29. An outbreak occurred on the street late last night, in m'hlch several hundred sailors threw stones and clubs and partially wrecked a small restaurant at l-'l State street, owned by John Senkh. It was a culmination of numerous small difficulties which have, occurred during tha week the fleet has been here between sailors and local tradesmen. The bad feeling has been due principally to a 'system of overcharge in prices of meals and other purchases. Last night Kenlch attempted to charge two of the men 6 for a meal, a price they deemed exorbitant. They demurred to payment. but .the shore patrol compelled ' a settle ment of the bill, because tho men had not inquired the price before ordering It. Later they repeated the news of the Inci dent to the liberty parties, and finally a large crowd congregated In front of tho place and commenced to throw stones and other missiles. Windows and glass fix tures were smashed, while the proprietor and the employes ned from the place. Tho shore patrol rushed to the soene and soon dispensed the crowd. The front of the Senich Restaurant had been well covered with bunting and flags. Some of the sailors called atten tlon to the National colors before they began the attack on the place, and mem bers of the party scaled up the front and carefully removed all the decora tions. When the flags and bunting had been stowed away, the rock-throwing began. No arrests were made by the shore patrol. This was due to the fact that in the large crowd which had congre gated it was impossible to ascertain the real offenders. Senlch, the owner of the restaurant is a Russian.
