Removing to Cleveland, Ohio, he practiced law and in 1902 became City Solicitor, which position he held for 10 years until his election as Mayor; reelected, 1914. At the time of the Baltimore convention, when Woodrow Wilson was nominated for the Presidency, Mr. Baker was prominently mentioned for the Vice-Presidency because of the fight he made in support of Mr. Wilson. He was known as the original Wilson man in Ohio. At the time of the Convention in 1912, Ex-Gov. Judson Harman was a candidate for the Presidential nomination and controlled a majority of the Buckeye delegation, but Baker was for Wilson, and swung with him a number of the northern Ohio delegates. The successful fight which he personally led on the floor of the convention to prevent the adoption of the unit rule, saved these Ohio votes to Wilson and did much to make possible his nomination.
