BALTIMORE, Nd, May 6.-William
F. Stone. collector Of customs In Balti-
more and the man who has aspired to
be the political master of Maryland,
is facing the battle Of his life today
when the primaries to decide Mary
lands preference for the Republican
nomination for President. as we'll as
the Democratic preference, are being
held.
There are other bosses than Stone
whose political fate hinges upon the re.
suit OF the primary, but II will be Stone
who Will feel the blow hardest II the
Roosevelt tidal wave carries Maryland
into the progressive column. as there Is
every indication that It win do. The
reason for this is that Stone, in his self
arranged capacity of leader OF the
party in Maryland, was the man who
promised" Maryland's votes in the Re-
publican convention to TAFT, and II is
his fight now to make good on his
promise.
Long before Roosevelt had giverl any
indication that he would heed the ,all
OF the progressive Republicans and enter
the race for the Presidential nomtna-
tion, Stone. according to the stories
that are well substantiated had visited
President Taft and given him his assur-
ances that Maryland would be foand

1t was knowledge Of this fact-that
Maryland's preference as to the Repub-
lean Presidential candidate had been
hAed in advance by Boss Of the Federal
Office holders-that drove a very con-
4lderable percentage Of prominent Re-
9ublicans into the Roosevelt column as
soon as the colonel had announced his
Intention to run. These men objected
to have their personal vote delivered"
in advance by a political boss who
had made absolutely no effort to sound
party opinion.
These men. including the element that
has always shown the greatest inde-
pendence at elections had very serious
doubts from the first as to the advisa-
bllity of nominating Taft, against whom
they knew there was very strong feel
ing in Maryland. They would have been,
