RAY BAKERS VISIT TO
NEVADA STARTS TALK

Raymond 7. Baker. director of the
mint. according to the Gazette, has
been in Reno to visit friends and
size up the local political situation
So far he has not announced his can
didacy for the United States senate
this year In opposition of c. II. Hen
derson. but there are many Neyadans
who believe that Rays declared in
tention TO return to this state to re-
side means that he will enter the pri-
mary list In the endeayor TO win the
toga now worn by the Elko county
man. The Baker family is now liv-
ing at the Burlingame home purchas-
ed short time ago.
Should Baker become an active
candidate for the u. S. senatorship
IL means that he and Pittman are
perfecting an organization of their
own for the purpose of blocking or
attempting to block any further
political ambitions that may be cher
ished by Governor Boyle and his SEN
atorial appointee. Henderson.
Ii will be recalled that immediate
ly following the death of Senator
Newlands press dispatches from
Washington stated that in all prob
ability Raymond T. Baker would be
Governor Boyle's appointee to the
vacancy. A few days later Bakers
denial of his candidacy was spread
broadcast through the same news
agencies.
II was understood in some quar-
ters that when Governor Boyle was
told that President Wilson's private
secretary. Joseph Tumulty, had sug-
gested the advisability of Bakers ap-
pointment he answered. You may
tell MIR. Tumulty that he is not gov
