Bailey Replies to Treason of the Senate Attacks
Senator Bailey, before a large Senate audience, rebutted Phillips in The Treason of the Senate series, denying charges of being tied to Hearst’s magazine and to Standard Oil. He defended his record with public documents, exposed McFall’s sick excuse, and argued he faced the truth in a pure light of publicity while noting La Follette and Spooner positions on territorial land sales and railroad bills. The piece notes Phillips’s broader portrayal of Bailey as aligned with powerful interests and details Bailey’s long track of Indian Territory railway and land measures.
