RAY BAKERS VISIT TO
NEVADA STARTS TALK
CONTINUED from page one.)

tary asked him to point out to the
governor the advisability of appoint
ing Baker to the senatorial vacancy.
To the ordinary person 1t would ap-
pear that through this message Gov
ernor Boyle was being made to feel
the crack of the party whip; that 1t
was plain that Wilson wanted Baker
sent to the senate. A weak governor
would undoubtedly have then and
there assured Mr.. Pittman that the
wishes of the White House would be
respected and that Bakers commits
sion would be forthcoming. The
governor, however, is reported to
have shown a lively appreciation of
his responsibility as the chief ex-
ecutive of a state and 10 have in
formed Mr.. Pittman that the appoint
ment of a man to serve in the United
States senate was one of the rights
and privileges of the governor of the
state, and that he would have to re-
turn to Nevada and look over the sit
uation before taking any action.
Then according to the story, Pittman
made it plain that he was only act
ing as requested by Tumulty, and
brought no pressure to bear on his
own behalf.
No one at the state capitol knew
just where Governor Boyle was for
two or three days. 1t was wholly
within the power of Lieutenant Gov
ernor Maurice J.. Sullivan to make
the appointment as acting governor,
but he declined to do SO, though 1t
was urged by some hat he name
Boyle as senator and thus become
governor in fact.
Upon the governors return he
gave all candidates hearings and lis
tened to the claims set forth by the
many aspirants and their friends.
After concluding a process of elm
nation along his OWL lines he named
Henderson.
There has always been a feeling
that the administration at Washing
ton has not been the most friendly
to the Nevada governor ever since
the Washington predictions of Ba.
ker's appointment fell flat, and this
seems to have been justified by most
II not all, federal appointments made
since that time.
Henderson was unopposed at the
1918 primary election but Boyle's
defeat for a denomination was sought
by Luce, speaker of the assembly,
Thatcher, disappointed senatorial as
pirant, and Sam Pickett, who had
failed in his effort to induce the gov.
ernor to send p. A. McCarran to thu
u. s. senate. The powers at Wash.
ington certainly could have insured
Boyle an unopposed primary nom,
ination had they e fit SO to do. In
spite of intimations that the presi.
dent went a long way in attempts te
assure the governor that he was In
