Political observers declare the Tac tions simply are divided as to the means to attain a common end and find significance in the following ut terances of Mr. Bailey: We intend to follow the principles adopted -festerday wherever they may lead us. If the Democratic part, state and nation), comes to these principles, then we are with the Democratic par ty. If not, as I say, we will follow these principles wherever they may lead us."
