Baker To Be.
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.

speed of the engine. Engineer Francis
tried to check its speed by reversing
his engine, when the eylinder head
was blown out and the engine became
entirely ungovernable. Rushing along
with the speed of the wind, it stuck
to the rails until a curve on the road
on the next trestle below Dark Ridge
was reached. Here it left the track
