OF BOND DRIVE

Fearing Loss to Buyers

AN" ALSTYNB. Texas. April 28.
Pat 1L Neff candidate for gover
nor bitterly attacked Joe Bailey
here last night fer his alleged refUMl
to make a Liberty bead speech during
the war and refusing to debate with
Neff.
Netf said Bailey got ashamed of
what Bailey said ln a speech at A us

said. "Bat" eald Keif "I have here
a sworn- statement of what Bailey did
say in that Austin speech.'

copy of an affidavit of Charles .

rapher of the 83d district court stat
ing that he took down parts of Bai
ley's speech at Austin April 9 and
that he swears Bailey ased this lan-
guage which Kef f read from the pa
per in his hand as follows:
II alley says It a True.
"Ther ear 1 refused to speak at a
bond selliBtr meeting one night and
that is true. Tbey came to my office
and asked me to go to one of the great
theaters there. I sate no l must noc
Whv asked th. chairman. Becanse.
I said. It I told those people the
truth they would not buy your bonds
and I would not tell them a lie even
to get them to boy yoor bonds.' He
said. what do you meanT I said
simply mean the bonds you are sell-
ing will go below nar. Many a poor
man who is buying them now will
have to seu.thena at a dlseotsnt and
I can't ge there and tell then aay-
thsne without tellicjr thstn the from."
Was- It a crime that a man should
not lie even for his country? I waft
right wasn't IT The bonds did go at a
discount. Tney are at a discount now
and many a poor man has had to sell
them at a loss."
"I want to say te you said
TVrlf. "that any man who would
not help to sell bends during the
war because he was afraid they
would go below par is nothing
but a traitor to his country.1 The
audience cheerej ff for five
minutes.
The only reason I am not telling
this tc Baileys face is. he refuses o
meet me in debate continued Neff.
"Bailey says it I wonld say to his
face what I am saying In my speeches
there would be no debate. Well I
don't think there would either."

What Would Happen.
"Then immediately after these pre-
cinct meetings they wonld if they
succeeded in putting a majority of

It is easy to Imagine what political

"Every Thomason man la the coun

As I said before. I hate to make

to Mr. Thomason to do it. - As for the
argument that both Bailev and
