DECLARE TAYLOR
MOVE GOOD JOKE
Efforts to Put Mayor in the
Governors Chair is
Impracticable.
MAY KEEP NAME OFF
VIII Have to Petition For il However.
For it Has Already Been
Listed.

Little Rock, Ark, July 1.-THE
Compromise" plan to settle the Dem
ocratic gubernatorial muldle. has
been widely discussed about Little
Rock
The pfopositon was taken seriously
by those who signed the petition filed
with the secretary of state, asking
that official to place Mayor Charles e.
Taylor's name on the official ballots
to be cast July %. in the event Messrs.
S. Brundidge and Geo. w. Hays could
ernatorial contest.
AS stated yesterday both these gem
tlemen expressed surprise at the Lit
file Rock movement to eliminate them,
and Judge Hays was very emphatic in
SAYING he would remain in the race,
| declaring he is the party nominee.
How They See 1t.
No further announcement has come
from the political hacker of Mayor
TAYLOR, whose viewpoint of the Demo-
cratic middle and the movement of
his friends was given in the Graphic.
Several Hays hackers have express
| ed themselves plainly about the move
ment.
| Its a good joke" said one of them
ct is preposterous to assume that
| such a scheme could be pulled Off
without the public knowing what the
men back of it were doing. This row
| is a Democratic one to be settled by
the party leaders-not in secret by
men who are not at the political
helm"
National Democratic committeeman
| Judge w. NJ Kavanaugh refused to
express himself about the matter be-
fore going to Birmingham, Ala, Fri
day afternoon.
Names Are Certified.
Secretaryof State Earle w. Hodges
Saturday morning prepared the list
of nominees for governor to be voted
on in the special election to be held
July %, as follows:
| Democrat, ...........--....
Republican, Harry H. Myers.
Progressive, Geo. w. Murphy.
Socialist, J. Emile Weber.

Unless there is change in the GER
LITIGATION Saturday afternoon it will
go to the county election commission
ers as prepared. There was an init
nation this morning that Mayor Chas
e. Taylor would not permit his name
to remaint upon the ticket. Secretary
Hodges stated that he knew nothing
of such an intention, and it would
make no difference, as the certifica'
ton had been made to him, and the
fees paid, and there was no way i1
which to get the name off the ticket
unless through court proceedings.
| Attorney General Moose later in
formed the secretary of state, wher
requested for legal advice, that the
candidate, by petition, could with
draw his name up to the time the Ger
tficiation had actually been made by
the secretary of state.
The petition requesting the name O
Charles E. Taylor to be placed on thu
ticket as an independent Democrat
was signed by many well-known citi
zens of Little Rock, and so far as tn
names of all could be made ont, tn
signatures of few being Difficult
