__Nation & world Quayle to drop out of GOP race by Ron Fournier Associated Press 1 Washngton, DC.—Former Vice Pres ident Dan Quayle, unable to keep pace with Geoige W. Bush’s fund-raising jug gernaut, has decided to drop out of the 2000 presidential race, The Associated Press learned Sunday. Quayle will announce his intentions at a news conference Monday in Phoenix, Ariz., said a senior campaign official, who spoke on condition of anonymity. The official said Quayle decided to drop out this weekend, after consulting with his wife, Marilyn, and campaign manager Kyle McSlarrow. The braintiust determined that Quayle I JL could not raise enough money to com pete deep into the primary season, even if he fared well in New Hampshire, the first-in-the-nation primary state. Bush, the two-term Texas governor, has raised more than $50 million — five times his nearest challenger. Quayle has been running a debt since early in the campaign. Quayle is the fourth Republican to depart the race, leaving Bush and seven others. Rep. John Kasich of Ohio, for mer Tennessee Gov. Lamar Alexander and Sen. Bob Smith of New Hampshire dropped out of the GOP primary con test earlier this year. Kasich endorsed Bush. Alexander, like Quayle, cited Bush’s fund-raising prowess as a reason for leaving. Smith is considering a third-party bid. In addition, conservative commen tator Pat Buchanan is considering run ning for the Reform Party nomination. Quayle’s announcement comes as the remaining campaigns prepare to file their campaign finance statements that will disclose how well or poorly their fund-raising operations are doing. Quayle is not the only Republican candidate hav ing a hard time raising money. The Quayle source said the former vice president has no regrets about his campaign, and leaves buoyed by a recent national poll that showed him with 9 per cent of the vote — a distant second to Bush. Quayle, however, has been unable to break-out of the second-tier of candidates in key states such as Iowa and New Hampshire. His campaign has been on the ropes since Aug. 14, when he finished near the back of the pack in Iowa’s nonbinding straw poll. Quayle is still convinced he could fere well—even win—the New Hamp shire primary. But even so, the concen trated primary calendar would give him little time to raise enough money to capitalize on a strong showing, the source r said. He came to realize that the primary calendar and Bush’s huge bank account were two obstacles that he would nev er be able to surmount. And, the source said, Quayle thought it would be wrong to ask supporters to donate money to a campaign that couldn’t go all the way. Quayle entered the race April 14 in his hometown of Huntington, Ind., saying he wanted to rebuild American values after ‘“a dishonest decade of Bill Clinton and A1 Gore.’” Seeking office for the first time since he and President George Bush were beat en by Clinton and Vice President A1 Gore in 1992, the former Indiana senator sought to push beyond a history of political gaffes and controversies. ‘“The question in life is not whether you get knocked down. You will. The question is, are you ready to get back up, are you willing to get back up and fight for what you believe in?”’ Quayle said. Quake from page 3 saying that behind the fridge there was a hole from where I could get out.” “I thought that was really strange, and I told my older brother. He asked me what it meant and said fate could not have been talking to me, so I went back to sleep,” Sun said. “A little later I saw a hole, and in deed it turned out to be a big hole,” he said, referring to the hole rescuers carved into the rubble to reach them. Emergency crews worked into the night through a light drizzle in hopes of saving more lives in the Taipei building, though they were not certain whether anyone else was still alive. The building was one of the hardest-hit structures in Taipei, the capital. Sunday’s aftershock, a sizable earth quake in its own right, brought down some buildings in central Taiwan, the hardest-hit region, and cracked walls as far away as Taipei, 90 miles to the north. Its magnitude was estimated at 6.8 or 6.5 by different sources. The aftershock killed three people, injured at least 58 and buried another 20 in the rubble. “Nobody here dares to stay home at night. They all stay in tents,” said Lee Wen, a university student in the town of Puli, where water, electricity and telephone service have yet to be re stored.
