Bailey's Part Of It In The July Cosmopolitan
The July Cosmopolitan installment on the Treason of the Senate profiles Senator Joe W. Bailey of Texas as a mouthpiece for certain interests in Washington. It recounts the Waters Pierce Oil episode the grapevine farm business and details the Kirby Lumber trust allegedly engineered by Bailey. The Fort Worth Record dismisses the piece as muckraking while Ellis County Democrats urge M M Crane to challenge Bailey but he declines. Texas voters will face Bailey in the primary with no opposition expected and the state will voice opposition to trusts.
