As a matter of fact, the members of the committee who called nn asked you as the mayor of this city and not as a partisan of any view which you may personally entertain, to preside at the meeting next Tuesday evening. In the m. capacity in which you presided at he meeting for President Wllmn. .nrf to n trod lie. the man whom t h committee selected to Introduce Senator Johnson. io explanation of your personal views were sought, and no thought of Infring ing on such views were contemplated. consequently the committee feel that the have been placed In a false light, and if you feel that to preside at such meeting will be embarrassing to you, w are ready and willing to relieve you from that duty, as we have no desire to embarrass you.

Johnson, but after being again urged by your committee representaives did agree to preside at the meeting. It was under- itood that I was not in accord with Sena tor Johnson s views and that I was liberty so to state.

As stated to your committee, I would not go to the Johnson meeting under false colors Inasmuch as my views seem now to be the cause of some misunderstanding. I feel that the best way to prevent em barrassment to your committee or to Sen ator Johnson or to myself is for me to withdraw, which I do. Respectfully. GEO. L. BAKER. Mayor. C H.
