Baker may really have beam just as skittish of the Democra tic presidential nomination as he ap peared to be the day I tried to “draw him out” on the subject at his office In Ctavelaad. a little more than a year MO. - « • Or maybe it was only policy on his part to (jive callers that idea. As the situation has since developed. I can see at this late date that ii was first rat° candidatorial rtrategy, if that was what it was. The ex-s ec ret ary of war explained tha* he believed it would be ‘better for his pace of mind" not to talk for publication, with the Jeffersonian na tional convention looming eve n dis tantly in the offing which I interpret ed as meaning chat he 5 was a*raid of attracting attention to himself as a White House suitability if he breath ed a word out loud. The impression I g,t was that he thought this would be sure to arouse his own ambition and that he did not desire it aroused - presumably because he knew it would gmaw at him distressingly, and then perhaps he would not be nominated after all. A friend es hine, who is cloae to him. abo told me subsequently that tbe Clevelander considered the 1933-’37 presidential term extremely lik to be the actual death of its incumbent, from the anxieties with which he foresees it will be beset. Baker believes, it is said, that there will be small hope of his re-election even though he lives, in the face of the antagonisms which he is convinced the processes of econo- 1 mic reconstruction with engender. Assuming, however, that ex-Secre tary Baker does, i n fact, desire be nominated it now is obvious that the course he has adhered to was and is •rnmctjy tbe one to nurse bis prospects along m<wt effectively. And it is dif ficult to avoid wondering whether it not a matter of accurate calcu lation .

He would get out of bed any night to give an interview | ovor the telephone to a newspaper correspondent on the wet-and-dry question. * He never was tired, caught off hts guard or out of temper. He was a dry on political rather than religious grounds. I>rvs who ware religiously dry always found fault with the Volstead law. which he dictated, contending that it ought to have penalized the buyer of in toxicants as well aa the vendor. Wheeler s position was that the thing be hated most was the traffic rather than the liquor. He was free to admit that he deliberately had in tended to provide the law with a kind of shock-aboorbci.
