 Walker was incensed, and strongly spoke against Rosewater's duplicity, but the dispute was smoothed over due to Dennison's influence and political power, and Walker again supported Rosewater in 1899 for Rosewater's senatorial campaign.Soon, Walker fell out of favor for insufficiently supporting Dennison's choices in an election, and lost ownership of the Midway.In frustration, Walker left town, spending a short period in St. Louis, Missouri.
