MAY RP.TIRK TAFT.
Washington, April in. In poltlcnl
circles In the capital last night the.
opinion was pretty generally expressed
by all except those closely roXited with
President Taft that the Roosevelt vie.
tory In Pennsylvania Suturduy may
eventually result In tho retirement of
PrenUlent Tuft as u candidate before
the Chicago convention. Pear was ex
pressed, even by those close to tho
president, that tho Pennsylvania land
slide may bo followed by a defeat for
the president in unio, ainssaeuu
nelts and other stiites which are yet
to hold prlmatles.
It Is declared that it Mr. Taft Is
beaten In Ohio as ho has been In Illi
nois and .Pennsylvania. -t would bo
"foolhardy to consider lihn itiljrHfeiT
ns a candidate. Tho latest and most
depennble returns from tho Keystone
BtnU prlmilrle give Roosevelt all but
Dlnb of tho state's 7C delegates. Tho

to offer other than that tho Republi

Roosevelt are shaking their hoods and
saying that tho verdict In Pennsyl
vania means that Taft should not bo
renominated. Somo ot them mako It
even stronger and declaro that tho
president must not bo renominated.

Which ho said that Pres'dont Taft Is

Whether or not Presldont Taft
