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.

SEATTLE, Wh.. April 28. (Spfrlal.)
Following a Inn line of negotiations
between the Paolllo StatPS Telephone A
TelPKraph t'ompuny and the Independent
Company-, liming buck for nearly two
years, a deal for the consolidation of the
two corporation Is pending and may be
consummated at any moment.
This la thn substanre. of a report that
Is current In financial circle and there
Is apparently the best of reasons for r g
HevinB It authentic, although officials of
the two companies deny It flatly. The
story Is that the Independent Company
Is to purchase outright the Pacltic Plates
systems In Heatfle and the State of
Washington, Including the long-distance
Hues, the larger corporation to retire al
together from this state.
Nearly two years ago It Is said Treas
urer A. K. Adams, of the Independent
Company, was brought Into negotiations
for the consolidation of the two compa
nies, and his presence here at this time
on an Inspection trip, coupled with the
appearand of If. T. Scott, president of
thn Pacirtc Btates Company, a week
ago. 1s considered significant. Adams
admitted today that his company would
close a deal for the purchase of the
Pnctrtc State system if the price was
right. The sale of the Pacific States sys
tem is said to Involve a sum estimated
at HO.00O.W0.

The city has been sued by the Rogue
River Water Company, which as its a tem
porary order restraining the city from
putting Into effect the rates for private
consumers of water recently established
by ordinance. It i believed an attempt

plant, which haa been offered for sale

to buy this plant, and one to build a plant
of the city's own.

Ttvo Sailors Charged $ for Meal

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.

SOU AilUW . U. C T CI J - I
body knows it Such a rait '
clings to the form and !
lacks the wrinkles and ;
corners that put a good
suit of clothes out of bus
iness. Some men dislike a
suit that lasts too long.
They say they tire of it.
Nevertheless, they insist
that it shall fit well.
-that's
Columbia
tailors'
only
fault
A suit cannot fit well
without lasting a long
time; it's the 'nature of
the beast. Therefore, when
it is said that Columbia
clothes last longer, it is
equivalent to saying they
fit better. Of course, cloth
has a great deal to do
with the matter. That's
the reason Columbia peo
ple take so much pains
with the material they
buy.
