Bond Amendment Campaign

The campaign for the adoption of the bond amendment is gaining strength daily. One of the most signal victories during the last week, for the measure was the firm stand taken by Con- greSsman Joe T. Robinson in it's favor. He has been explaining it in detail in all his speeches on the state campaign he is now making. He declares that "The fact that is needed most press ingly by the cities of Arkansas makes it not political issue but one of business moment" de- clares Mir. Robinson.
 Mayor Charles E. Taylor, who was one of the prime movers in it's submission, is flooding the state with literature, and has visited a number of cities per sonally in it's interest He is en- thusiastic over the prospects, and thinks that it will prevail by large majority.
 The press of the state is almost a unit in it's support, especially ia the cities, while there has been heard no word of disapproval from the smaller towns, It has been printed in 225 papers and there is yet one of them to take an antagonistic position. Espec. ial attention is called to the fact that the adoption of the amend ment does not mean bond issue unless the people of community vote 1t at an election held under the provisions of the amend ment.
