Ambitious Ones Announcing For Primaries Next
 Year.

Little Rock, May 13.-Arkansas politicians have come nearer than any one else to solving the problem of perpetual motion.

 In Little Rock city election was only recently held. but already can didates are appearing for the next primaries in December. John Evans and Tom Simms have announced for alderman of the first ward to suc- ceed Henry c. Mccain, defeated in the March primaries for auditor of state, and who has just announced as candidate for third term as alderman. It is also understood that Charles k. Taylor will be candidate for third term as mayor, and many believe he will have no oppo- sitiOn.

MURPHY GRATEFUL
 TO HIS ENEMIES
Erstwhile Chicago Magnate Is Now One Happy
 Man.
(By Frank G. Menke.)

New York, May 13.-The happiest i little person in the world just now is Charles Webb Murphy, the Chi csgo parsonage who was pushed out of organized baseball and who, ever since, has been calling down 11eav- ems blessing on those who ass1s,e,. in the pushing process.
 Charles, as some may remember, once owned the Chicago Cubs. He made about $1,000,000 through that ownership. Also he made lot of enemies. The enemies got together last winter and relieved Charles of his ownership but not before seme thing like s503,000 was paid to the chubby gentleman for his 5 shares of stock which are said to have a par value of exactly $500.
 The enemies figured the league could get along without Charles and also they figured that Charles had made enough money in baseball.
 Well let somebody else make some money" they said
 And so they handed the club over to Charles P. Taft whose brother Will used to be president for this nation. And now Charles P. Taft is out gunning for those persons who handed him what he supposed was a gold mine, but which is turning out to be a gold brick. Also Charles is kicking himself for the horrible toozle he made in his dickering with John T. Connery of Chicago.
 Connery wanted to buy the Cubs. He and his friends clioued together and offered Taft S770000 for the out fit. But Taft, kidded into believing that he had gold thing, haughtily spurned the offer and requested $S10,00o. Connery, much as he want ed the club, couldn't "see" the ad- ditiohal $40,00O. And so, the deal was called off. Taft kept the Cubs and what sorry man he is.
 The Cubs have started off like a bush league outfit. They are in the second division in the National League race and threaten to hit the cellar. And they are drawing crowds at home and abroad, that just about provide chewing tobacco for the players
 The Cubs judged on their showing to date. face the worst financial sea son ia history. With the Federals out drawing them in their home city and with the abroad crowds staying away when the Cubs are rivals oi the host team. it wouldn't be surpris- 1 ing if the Cubs lost $200,000 this season.
 The payroll this year is larger than ever before. Most of the Cubs were held only by the reserve clause at the end of the 1913 season, ant when the Federals began their raids 1 the Cub agents hustled around tn, country and signed up the players a practically their own terms. And those terms, it may be said, weren' very modest.
 It is quite doubtful if Taft cou!t get $40O,0O0 today for the playe1s franchise, stands and grounds fo1 which he was offered $77O,O0O !ess than three months ago.
