This isn't the first time that the *our: and Senator Person have dis agreed. but it to perhaps the most per sonal affair that the two have had. Therefore, in his warfare against Blch ett an?l the Bickett government, all of it must go?save the legjslature of. 1917?6i. which Mr. Person was a mem ber. That's hi- program or "pro grum," and he gathered exvlosives here as he went through the ;epart ir.-ents today. It was interesting to him to find that Collector Bailey, ad mitted daddy of revaluation, strategist who drove the corporation commission to it. laying revaluation low. The col lector had Just dedicated an article to the Bickett revaluation. The finish Is allowed to be near. The senator tells his own story bet ter than anybody can do it for him. Henceforth, most of it will be his. "You know the application of Bickett's ser mon, 'know ye the truth, and it shall make you free, don't you? You don't? Well, it's me," albeit the senator, the most scholarly man of the first Bick ett legislature, of wmen Mr. person | was a member and the leavener of the whole lAy out. will generally use "V' if It is the direct object of a pr'eposipon. It was "me," Mr. Person said, and a Billy Kersands smile o'erspread his ca pacious countenance, as the poets say. "And the funny thing about It, is that I am the lawyer whose house was worth $15,000 and valued at $3,800; j and the funnier thing is that Bickett's , firm is attorney for the 'widow whose $10,000 insurance from her husband is on the books at $10,000.' I have look ed on the books and it ain't there at all," and the senator laughed until his 300 pounds shook like a river of gela derstand; it may have been, and don't use the widow's name, she is a good woman. She may have spent the mo ney educating her.family. But 'know ye the truth, and it shall make you free.' " 'T am running on the repeal-the- | Bickett book platform li> Bickett's county," the senator went on. Fact la, he "went on" terribly. "And I anj coming here with 90 per cent of tfye vote. I hear that they have-a Bap tist preacher running against me, but that won't matter." And the senator shook as he must have wondered what Is Immersion, even, among people who do not like to pay taxes. Whoever runs against him won't even also ran. Ho will annihilate all opposition. "They came to me and asked me what my house was worth," the sena- i tor said. "I told them around $10, 000. They asked me if I would take I $10,000 for It. I told them none of their d?ed business, It wasn't for sale. Then they Bald they would list it at $15,000.
