In Race For Nomination i ? * Recent developments began to mAke Newton D. Baker, President Wilson's War Secretary, appear as an import ant figure in the coming campaign. Baker has come out in the open and shown that he is not averse to being th.<i Democratic candidate if the party us a whole demands him. lie has de clared that he is willing to be either a standard bearer or a private in the ranks in tlic campaign. While Gover Roosevelt is still the leading can didate, yef. he may be beaten in the convention. A lot of curiosity still exists us to whether foimer Governor Smith will back ~fr*>se\Y:lt. While Smith is con sidered unlikely to make the race again himself, yet his voice is still the teudest in the councils of his party and any man he opposes is un likely to be nominated, although it is questionable if he .is powerful enough to name his own choice. If Baker is named and elected, he will be the fourth oldest man to be made President. Baker will be 61 when the next President is sworn in. Only William Henry Harrison, H8, James Buchanan Go, and Zachary Taylor, 04, were older men. John Adams and Andrew Jackson were Baker's age when they were inducted into office. Baker is still considered as a young man in these days, while llarrison, Buchanan and Taylor were all deemed old men at the time oi: their election.
