BAKER AS FEDERAL JUDGE
And w. c. Hook for Senator Consti-
tutes Another Piece of Gossip.

United States Senator Lucien Baker

Kansas at the election next month will

retiring Judge Foster is settled.
If W. E. Stanley is elected governor
of Kansas and a vacancy in the Office
of United States senator should occur
the governor would fill the place by ap-
pointing a senator for the unexpired
term. Should the change be not made
until after the legislature meets the ap-
pointee would hold the Office two years,
or until the regular session of the leg
islature should occur. This would give
the successor to Senator Baker consid-
cradle of a term in that position.
Mr.. Bakers standing with the presi-
dent is such that he would have little
difficulty in securing the appointment as
judge if the place were vacant Baker
would of course practically name his
