See Bailey AnglingFor Presidency j Dally Dispatch Bureau, In The Sir Walter Hotel. Raleigh, Nov. 4.—North Carolina’s senior senator, Josiah W. Bailey, is giving a splendid imitation (if indeed it isn’t the real thing) of a politician stung by the presidential bee. From up cold New England way come daily reports of what our solon is telling this, that and the other gathering; and if he isn’t doing all that talking to further what he thinks are his chances of being struck by presidential lightning, it’s difficult to figure out what he does have in mind. His theme song is opposition to President Roosevelt’s agricultural po licies and President Roosevelt’s court plan and President Roosevelt’s guest for what the senator conceives to be “absolute control.” It isn’t the same song he sings when at home in North Carolina. Here he writes letters to the papers vigorously protesting against being classed as an opponent of the Presi- Continued on Page Two.)
