BONE Many Democratic editors of the country, according to a poll re- cently made, favor Newton D. Baker for president of the United States, but believe that Franklin D. Roose- velt will be the standard bearer. This is a significent expression. The country press has its ear closest to the ground. Apparently, the opin- ion prevails that the New York gov- ernor is virtually assured of thes nomination, as he lacksbut a small margin of votes to command a two thirds following in the ccnvention. In case of a compromise, it is equal- ly significent that Baker is the pop- ular choice, and even today, is much more than a Democratic dark horse. ‘The former secreiary of war, who won his laurels in the Wilson Administration, is all but aSouth- J erner, having been born in the bor- to Boom der state of West Virginia, sixty years ago. His training has beenin the conservative school of politics. On the traiff issue, he is grounded in the tariff-for-revenue-only doc- trine, His party preceptor was Wil- Ham L. Wilson, also a West Vir- ginian, who rose to the chairman- ship of the Committee on Ways and Means in the house, and fram- ed a tariff bill under Grover Cleve- land who later called him into the Cabinet as Postmaster General and Young Baker was installed as pri- vate secretary. Subsequently, they Ténewed their relationship at Wash- ington and Lee University at Lexing- | ton, Virginia, where Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson rest. Wilson Wes president of the institution, and | Baker a student.
