thought OF the result OF the prInnr,

business and VIII continue TO devote
my time to my business and my per-
sonai affairs. giving to political mat

sltion may demand.
Mr. Baker evidently feels that In
Justice has been done him IN the re-
port given circulation that he was OPP
posing the candidacy Of Judge Rea-
gan. and that his opposition was felt
In this county. All his Intimate
friends declare that there is not n
word Of truth In these reports, and
that Mr. Baker has refrained from
even intimating his personal prefer

gan and his supporters. "rhey're |
lighting among themselves" Is the
way the matter is referred to. Ter.
rell puts himself right In line with
Judge Clark, and is not half as objec-
tionablc as he used to be. In fnot.

View say that It will be followed by
many other conversions and lead TO
the retirement to considerable ex.

politics. At any rate. the letter has
given the Clark people here consld-
