Jack Robinson. of PennsyIvnnia,
an ASpirant.

Media, Pa. April 24.-It is highly prOba-
BILE that ex-Congressman Jack Robin
son will again come into public notice as
a candidate for the office OF Assistant
Secretary of the Navy in case Theodore
Roosevelt quits it and goes TO war. He
lost the place at the beginning of the
Mckinley Administration through the ap-
pointment of Mr.. Roosevelt, but may yet
get that which was then denied him.
There is also a chance that Robinson will
himself go TO fight for his country as an
officer in the navy. He is a graduate of
the United States Naval School at An
napoIis. and some months ago rendered
his services TO the Government in case Of
war with Spain.
Capt Jesse NJ. Baker, senator and faith
er of the Baker ballot law, who had two
years training at West Point. is raising
his voice for war, and if he can arrange
il he will organize and lead regiment.
He will know in few days whether or
not his ambition in this direction can be
fulfilled.
