 Admirers. MAKE CAMPAIGN ON MAYORALTY RECORD Believes in Good Government. Clean Politics and Business-Likp Admin- istratiOn of Public AIiairs-.Judge
 Rolfe Asked to Run.

Little Rock, June 5.-Mayor Chas. E. Taylor late this afternoon made public the following statement:
 ''In reply to many solicitations that have and are coming to me from ov- CT the state, asking whether or not shall be candidate for governor, answer that at the proper time shall be a candidate. l shall delay making a formal announcement for the reason that I do not believe in long, expensive and annoying cam paigns. Personally, I cannot afford that kind of campaign, and do not be- lieve the voters approve it, or that they ought to do so.
 q am convinced that the people are anxiously and hopefully looking for a new order of things in Arkan- sas: that we are on the verge of a great industrial awakening; that the people. through their chosen repre- sentatives, would gladly catch step with any progressive movement look ing to the welfare of the state as a whole. We need to look to the flu ture and not to the past.

 "In my race I shall make no fight on any candidate. If elected govern or, my sole aim shall be to establish and promote a new and better order of things. The development of these plans and purposes, as inaugurated and effected in the city of Little Rock during my administration as mayor, is of more concern to the peo- pie of the state, in my judgment than the discussion of the merits or demerits of any candidate. The as surances of support that have come to me from all sections of the state indicate that my record as mayor of the city of Little Rock has met with general approval. I am glad to know this, chiefly because it confirms a belief have long entertained-that the great majority of the people fav- or good government, clean politics and a business-like administration of their affairs" ,..

 Steamships as Result of War.

Rome, June 5.-Thron hundred thousand Italian troops have been massed against the Austrian defense on the left bank of the Isonzo. Two hundred thousand Austrians, it is estimated here, are manning the hos tile works. The battle is raging with extreme violence.
 The main Italian attack is being pressed on the far slope of Montenero and the neighboring Austrian artillery positions. These command the ap- breaches to Polmino, generally con sidered the key to the gateway of Trieste. Upon this battle largely de- bends the fate of the Isonzo campaign of the Italians.
 Meanwhile, on the Tyrolean front, the Italians are making slow but steady progress in the direction of Roveretoe, which guards Trent along the Adige valley.
 Either the Austrians are making cx- tensive preparations for desperate defense of Trent, or they are contem- plating withdrawal farther within their borders. Refugees report that the Austrian authorities are rapidly evacuating Garda and Toron. where the populations of the towns have hoisted the Italian eolors. The civil ian population of the southern Tyro regian is fast being removed from the | interior. All tho inhabitants Of MOT have been transferred under military direction to the town of Innesbruck.
 Scattered reports from the iron and from the coast tell of develop ments which indicate that Italy | losing no time in the aggressive cam paign. Already the military authori ties have confiscated 57 Austrian ant German steamships with total O 316770 tons.

Specialist Rendered Uncon- scious by Fall, and Is
 Badly Bruised.

Dr. s. D. Wilson, a specialist, was rendered unconscious and suffered severe bruises yesterday afternoon at o'clock when he was pitched from his buggy at the intersection of West Barraque and Cherry streets as the result of his vehicle being struck by the "Iitney" owned and driven by Alonzo Whitesides, negro. A charge of reckless driv- ing has been preferred against Whitesdes in the police court by order of Police Chief Stewart.
 The ";;i.tney" ra ninto the buggy from the rear. and Dr. Wilson was thrown directly upon the street car track before an approaching street car. It appeared for a moment that the unconscious man would be ground to death beneath the electric cars wheels. but the motorman brought the car to stop within 2 surprisingly short distance.
 As soon as the heightened horse could be quieted, Tom Payne. who was riding in the buggy with pr. Wilson at the time of the mishap, aided in carrying the injured man into the home of Dr. J. s. Jenkins, where he, soon regained conscious ness and was able to proceed to his home at S2O State street. Last nigh1 he was said to be resting well.

FOR CULTURE
Of COTTON

A meeting of first Importance to
this valley and especially to the
growers of Egyptian cotton was held
at Tempe yesterday by Professor
Stanley +. Morse, head of the agri-
cultural extension service, Mr.. E. W.
Hudson, who has been in charge Of
the bureau of plant industrys cotton
investigation at Sacaton and Farm
Advisor J. \. Armstrong, with the di-
rectors of the Egyptian Cotton EX-
change. The object of the meeting
was to secure the application of agri-
cultural extension work to Egyptian
cotton. The experimental work has
reached a stage where it must be
supplemented by field work The
farmers realize this and they have
made demands for assistance.
The funds of the bureau of plant
industry can be used only in investi
cation work so that the government
is seeking to put further work into
the hands of the various agricultural
extension services Of the various
states The plan is for the expense
of the work to be undertaken here
to be borne in part by the agricul-
tural extension service and in part
by the bureau of plant industry in
proportion to the time employed by
its agent in conducting extension
work
Accordingly. Mr.. Hudson. who has
been stationed at SacatOn will move
his headquarters into this valley as
nearly as possible into the center of
the cotton growing area. The back
bone of the extension service consists
of the cooperating demonstrators,
farmers in different parts of the val
arr,a. ont
to follow the direction of Mr.. Hud-
son but they viii do all the work
themselves. These demonstrating
farms will be so located that the OPP
erations can be watched by their
neighbors and practically every farm
er in the valley will have the work
carried on in his immediate neighbor-
hood.
1t would be practically impossible
for Mr. Hudson. whose title by the
way. will he the Egyptian Cotton

sion service to visit all parts of the
valley so that most of his time VIII

Their car is a Russell, a Canadian car,

NOUS Knight design, similar to those

Abrams says that he has now driven
his car over - 600 miles and that he
has never been obliged to touch the
motor. and that it seems to increase
in smoothness and power with Eek

in his state. he promptly went on rec

Washington believes in the pay as
YOU ride policy" and has never issued
any road bonds, but builds its perma-
nent roads out of a special tax levy
! Of a mill and a half.
/ This brings in about $4,0O0,O00 a
year and in addition there is another
levy for maintenance, and special
| temporary road construction. Abrams
was president of the Auto Club of Sc
attic when this bill was passed
/ through the legislature, and says that
that organization, which has about $50
members, has done much good work
to further good road building. Some
time ago. an effort was made by Ger
tain interests to reduce the levy for
permanent road building and from all
parts of the state. protests came piline
i'm. so that the attempt was smoth-
cred. all of which indicated that the
people generally were willing to pay
the tax when they knew that they
were to receive value received.
Abrams has been in the real estate
business in Seattle for seventeen years
and has seen that remarkable city
change from a small coast city to ono
of the worlds leading sea-ports To
day Seattle has a population of 100000
and as an indication of the confidence
in it's continued growth. it is STATED
that L. c. Smith, who recently com
pIeted forty-tWo story office build

Abrams thinks that the growth o
Phoenix the past seven years has beer
