But Walker Is a good speaker, and knowing the ins and outs of the fight there Is no doubt that he would make a strong candidate for the Independents If he could be Induced to make the race. He Is a young man, a good lawyer with a bright future, but it is understood that his ambitipns dp not run to politics.
