From T. L. Childs of Teague

In The News of April 28 there appeared an article from C. H. Mills of Corsicana,
severely criticizing the Bailey Club of Teague and Judge Hardy A. O’Neal for
their failure to allow him to divide time with the latter on the occasion of 
his speech here last Saturday night.  In justice to our people, I beg to make 
the following statement:

Hon. Cone Johnson, leader of the anti-Bailey ticket, delivered an address in 
Teague one week before Judge O’Neal spoke here.  His audience clearly showed a
majority were in favor of Senator Bailey, but they gave him the most respectful
attention and did not interrupt nor interfere with him in any manner.  The
Bailey ticket had had no speaker here, and when they had secured a date with
Judge O’Neal, they desired him to deliver a full speech, detailing the 
evidence produced before the legislative investigation committee, of which he
was chairman.  Mr. Blake of the Anti-Bailey Club approached me several days
before Judge O’Neal was here and asked for a division of his time with Mr. 
Mills, but I declined and informed him of our reason for so doing, which were
in substance as above.  Judge O’Neal spoke at Fairfield the afternoon of the 
25th and Mr. Blake attended the meeting. ….
