'G. p. RACE Is TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT But Taft Cannot Afford to
 Let Go STAMPEDE TO TEDDY Republicans Fear They Cannot Win With Taft But No Available
 Compromise Candidate
 Is in Sight
Rr wALrER HARPER

Washington. May 9.-tSpeciaL )-The race between President Taft and ex-President Roosevelt for the republican nomination is getting too close for comfort. Every time these two men are submit ted to the mercy of voters in any state MT. Taft according to the followers of MT. Roosevelt, is eliminated from the run ming. The close race in Maryland is a positive defeat for the President
 All things being equal, personally the President should certainly lead in the present contest. He is entitled to a sec ond nomination from his party if he has been true to his trust during his present administration. Roosevelt has no party or political claim on the coming nomina- tion. His contest is most unusual and under ordinary circumstances would not be tolerated for minute.
 Two Things Certain
 One of two things is certain and must be accepted as true:' Either the people are deceived in the virtues of Theodore Roosevelt or there is something seriously wrong with MT. Taft and his administra- tion. It is certain that the republicans T Taft if he is nominated.
 They may hope to clamor down the real issue with the stupendous, vocifer- ous and bullragging personality of MT. Roosevelt. If the republicans can sue ceed in making the people forget the real issue, the tariff, they may hope to win the election next fall. With MT. Taft as the nominee, the issue cannot be avoid- ed. He has made his record on the tariff. He has also made that record for his party. He cannot evade the issue. Roose- welt can. He can evade anything. An evasion of the issue is the only hope Of the republican party.
 Would Evade Issue
 MT. Taft and his friends would like to evade the issue The friends would like to evade their duty to Taft, but they cannot. It is too late now to drop MT. Taft They must continue the fight up to and into the convention or deliver the nomination over to Roosevelt. They would wreck the party first.
 Any move now to deliver MT. Taft's strength over to third man would in- sure the nomination of Roosevelt. This condition has been made plain in this cor respondence on more than one occasion. Taft cannot turn lose. His friends can- not waver Any weakness would send the Taft delegates already instructed pell mell into the Roosevelt camp.
 Roosevelt Still Winning
