their votes en- masse for the majority can
didate; in other words, under this rule
all Ohio's votes must go for its favOrite
son, Judson Harmon. 1t was absurd it
was unjust; but there was a holy prece-
dent that eliminated Wilson's delegates.
For fifty years certain image-breakers
had attempted to destroy this unit rule
The Baltimore convention of 1912 knew
that the attempt would be made again.
The members, hot. wearied. emotionally
exhausted by the rows that had already
taken place, were ready to howl down any
man who dared repeat again the old
familiar and tiresome arguments.
In due course slight figure, with a
pale academic face, started with rapid
steps toward the platform. He looked
like freshman tutor or recently gradu-
ated theologue. The crowd scarcely no.
ticed him; buzz of conversation and the
tapping of palm-leaf fans silenced his
opening remarks. In few minutes, how

sharp staccato voice was pouring from the

has given the stand-patters shock that
has apparently exhausted all their powers
of emotional expression. Herein we prob
ably have the explanation why Mr.. Baker
has slipped so quietly into the Presidential
Cabinet. Mr.. Wilson could do nothing,
after Brandeis, that would seem even
slightly radical. Otherwise, we may be
sure. Mr.. Baker sappointmentw would have
sent the senatorial custodians of American
tradition on the trail of his career.
Bakers Activities in Cleveland
THE politics of Cleveland for the last
fifteen years has aroused national at
tention. Most conservative Americans
have regarded that town as the seat of
radicalism and as focus whence all kinds
of destructive ideas were scattering into
the American consciousness. We asso-
ciate it with prolonged ATTACKS" upon
public service corporations, tumultuous
campaigns for three-cent fares, and a

endum, the recall woman suffrage, pro-
portional representation. and of socialistic
movements whose chief aim was the more
liberal taxation of corporations. Its ad-
mirers have pictured Cleveland as the
town that was to solve the problem of the
regeneration of American cities; but the
fact that this regeneration was to begin
with municipal ownership and end with
the single tax did not reassure certain
fundamental thinkers in Wall Street and
our great universities.
But, of course. the more timOrous said,
Cleveland was wild town-it was
dominated by wild man. Tom Johnson,
big, half baked, part demogogue, part
fanatic. altogether something of a fakir,
had set it crazy. According to Tom John
son himself, as expressed in his autobi-
ography, we We're wrong. The head devil

platform a huge stream of talk. Stenog-
raphers We're madly attempting to take
down his rapid flow Of words. The dele
gates began to nudge each other into
silence, and the palm-leaf fans sank into
their laps. After few minutes Chairman
Alton Parker dropped his gavel with a
"Time's up But the hall rang with cries
of "Go on! Go on!" And the youthful
speaker went on. He canvassed the situa-
tion in all its details; he held up to ridi-
cule the suggestion that an outworn pre-
cedent should rob several hundreds of
thousands of voters of the democratic
right to record their preferences. When
Baker finished there was nothing left to
say. He had accomplished the defeat of
the unit rule. 1t was Wilson's first great
victory in the convention.

was really our head and our principal ad-
wiser" Baker, the fine flower of Johns
Hopkins, was the head professor in john
sons famous taxation school, an insti-
tuition organized to inform the mob how
they were paying all the taxes while the
corporations and the mllionaires were es-
Gaping.
Baker also conducted all the lawsuits
there were fifty-fve of them-that
finally brought the trolley companies to
their knees. In the ten years struggle
this diminutive statesman simply waded
through injunctiOns, appeals, changes of
venue, writs of certiorari, and all the other
impedimenta of the learned profession.
When johnson died, Cleveland imme-
diately elected Bakeras his successor in the
mayors chair. Il am follower of the
lightof Tom Johnson: that is Bakers own
summation of his political ideas. He is
single-taxer, and devotee of all the
Crank ideas that have been pictured,
mainly in the West, as the advancing
heralds of revitalized democracy. He
is an intimate of Brand Whitlock, and was
largely responsible for Whitlock's ap-
pointmept to Brussels.
But, the average citizen asks, what
has all this got to do with war? Mr..
Baker is evidently good deal of mill
tarist when three-cent fares and the single
tax are involved but what does he know
about machine-guns, gas bombs, explo-
sive shells, and intrenching tools?
Still, this glorious America in which we
live is happy-go-lucky kind of place.

doxes, and so the fact that MIR. Baker, as
he himself says, is @for peace at almost

He has courage, he has devotion to his
chief, he has amazing assimilative powers,
and he believes in the Wilson brand of
preparedness. Fundamentally he is
Democrat, and stands ready to make
effective any military policy that his be-
loved people, as represented by their
legislators, may decide upon.
The Peace Advocate in the
War Department
A TOUCHING scene that attended his
first day in his new Office shows that
he approaches his duties in the proper
spirit. General Hugh Scott, the white
haired veteran of many Indian campaigns,
who had succeeded MIR. Garrison as tenn
porary Secretary of War, was sitting at
the desk with the new incumbent, at
tempting to explain the details of the
Office. The General was somewhat hesi-
tant and embarrassed. He evidently
wished to treat his new superior with
true soldiers respect, and yet his instruc-
ton necessarily had an elementary charac-
ter. This made the campaigner uncom-,
Portable. Secretary Baker Immediately
sized up the situation.
General Scott he said, "you are old
enough to be my father, and am young
enough to be your son. You know every
thing about the duties Of this office: I
know nothing at all. l should feel very
grateful il you would treat me here pre-
cisely as you would treat your own son."
The General was much affected.

Secretary he said. nothing will 60
