News of the activity of friends of | Newton D. Baker who want to see him | win_the Democratic nomination for the | | presidency, is beginning to trickle in | from different parts of the country. It | is the most significant thing that has happened since Gov. Franklin D. Roose- | velt began to acquire a sort of band wagon strength a few weeks ago. | What it means is that the opposition | to Gov. Roosevelt has come to realize that if somebody else isn't put up very soon, the New York Governor will get | | the nomination by acclamation. | 'Thete is no such thing as vet as an | | anti-Roosevelt movement. The friends | | of Mr, Baker aren't working that way. | | They have no objection to Mr. Roose- | velt, but they think Newton D. Baker | will make a bstter candidate and that is why they are pushing him forward | at this time. | Regarded as Wet and Liberal. There is no doubt that Mr. Baker has a powerful hold on a large number of | Democratic leaders. Alco, he is widely | known throughout the country and has | particularly benefited with ex-service men in the stories that have been pub- lished since the war telling of the part | | he played in directing operaticns. Gen. Pershing's book has given unstinted | praise to the former Secretary of War. It is, however, among the busines groups that Mr. Baker's name is most frequently commented upon nowadays. | As counsel for many large business | concerns and as a director of the Balti- | more & Ohio Railroad, Mr. Baker in the last decade has become well known | to the financial and business communi- | tles of the country. While he is known | as a liberal, he is regarded as having THE EVENING Science Clock-to Standardize Time | | for World Urged. j | whole world with millionth of a second | Sureau of Mings to the American Geo- physical Union. says, by extending its present time sig- | electromagnet wave with a cycle ad- justed to constancy by astronomical | corrections” passing around the world. | A zero, line from which to measure | time anyfhere at the same unit inter- vals does mot exist,” he says. “The second which once was thought to meet our needs as the smallest unit of time bas become an inordinately long interval | for many physical measurements and the millionth of a second now often proves more convenient.” A combination of “constant frequen- cy wireless waves distributed from vari- | ocus cerdinal places over the earth” he says, “would serve to synchronize brod- casting stations and keep them auto- matically on thelr proper wave Jength, would control the speed of scanning disks or similar television devices and would prove invaluable for gravity pen- dulum measurements and for seismol- OogY.

It is apparent that the speech made by Mr. Baker at Williamstown, Mass,, | many thousands of copies of which have | been distributed, was &n opening |in the Baker campas | absut entering Mr. | primaries and in the pri | States.

It is likely | that some of the New York Dzmocrats, | who do not wish to see Mr. Roosevelt | nominated, look with favor on the Baker candidacy. | What is happening now is a testing | out of sentiment smong Democrats | gencraily to determine how they feel about Mr. Baker and whether they are ready at this time to commit them- | selves to the candidacy of som: one | | other than the leader in the race.
