Democrat Joseph Weldon Bailey served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1891 to 1901 and in the U.S. Senate from 1901 to 1913. A colorful and controversial politician, he was known for his superb oratorical skills and his fiery temper. His career was damaged by his involvement in the notorious Waters-Pierce Company anti-trust case, but in the 1920 Democratic gubernatorial primary runoff election he placed second to Pat Neff. He moved his law practice to Dallas in 1921.
