Lucisn Baker has arrived at home. get
ting here on Saturday.
Senator Bnker came direct from
Washington. Mira Baker and Miss
Mary Baker have gone to Colorado for
the benefit of the daug hter's health.
Senator Baker probably never looked
better than he now does. He has added
several pounds to his avoirdupois since
taking up his residence in Washington
early in December Nearly all the lines
of care and anxiety have been erased
from his face and ne appears to be in a
pereniaily happy mood. Senator Baker
said jokingly to a reporter that good liv-
ing in Washington was responsible for
the improvement remarked by his
friends
In a brief interview Senator Baker
said:
ain my opinion, nothing can be ex-
pected from the present congress beyond
the passage of an appropriation bill and
other bills by consent l do not think
there will be any financial legislation to
raise revenue. l expect that congress
will adjourn, and let US all get home by
apple blossom time"

of the Field This Time.
The latest story about the Broderick-
Bailey congressional contest in the First
district has come to light through the
Manhattan Nationalist, which says Mr.
BaiIey's treason for trying to obtain the
nomination from Dir. Broderick this year
is because of former agreement by
which Dir. Broderick promised to stay
out of the race this time and give Mr.
Bailey open field"
The Republican voters of the district
would like to know if Mr.. Bailey really
has such a foundation on which to base
mis- claim for the nomination he ia now
seeking.
The Leland, Bailey and Frederick fight
has been growing tiercer every day since
the com mittee meeting at Holtou last
week. The papers of the district are
devoting a large part of their space to
the story of the committee meeting.
