POLITICS ARE
 NOW IN VOGUE

Little Rock, Oct. 26-The first de- velopments in several weeks in gubernatorial campaign occurred last week tending toward a sirnplifica- tion Of the situation.
 The withdrawal of Mayor Chas. E. Taylor of Little Rock, the an- nouncement Of Judge w. H. Arnold of Texarkana that he would not be a candidate for the nomination, the .clash between Dr. c. H. Brough and Gov Hays over a question of the governors attitude toward Dr. Brough's candidacy, and the formal opening of T. (. McRae's campaign before a crowd of 4000 people in his home town, were the outstanding features of the week.
 Another development which it was thought might have a bearing upon the race for governor was the a. ton of the Supreme Court in sus- taining the veto of $626,000 in ap- Ipropriations by the last Legislature. This is accepted by Gov. Hays afd his friends as vindication of his position And yet up to the pres ent time ha=h has resisted all efforts to break through his reserve. .I doubt whether the governor has de- eided yet what he will do. is the observation of friend.
 The question Of where Mayor Tay- lor's strength will go is also mo5ted. and being purely matter of eonjecs ture may be answered satisfactorily to each man according as he may be supporter of McRae. Hodges. Brouh, Crockett or Smith and should Gov. Hays get into the race, the "dope-s.heet'' would have to be re. vised again
 Predictions are being freely made that further withdrawals are prob able before Jan. 1, when the eam- paign is expected to be in full swin..m mst=Where the lightning will strike. is also matter of conjecture in which everybody has full permits sion to guess whoever he pleases.
 The withdrawal of Mayor Taylor. because he had become convinced tha. it would cost too much time and money to make the race, has been gratifying to the numerous friends of the Little Rock chief ex- ecutiYe who prefer that he should stay where he is rather than to en- ter the uncertain field of state poli- ties. The newspapers all over the state are referring to Mayor Taylor in terms the most complimentary as "one of the purest and cleanest men in Arkansas politics.

SURE SOME FISHERMAN.

s1a4l folks nave just about decided tHat when Oscar Meth and wife leave on one of their fishing trips that the finny tribe suffers. and their decision was surely justified some ten days ago, when Mr. and Mrs. Meith returned from five days trip on Illinois river. west of Spring dale. Their total catch amounted 10 3l bass, one cat fish, els, and about half bushel of perch. One feature of their outing was the fact that Mrs. Meith hooked wid duck, aind they had that particular bird for supper while on the river, Mrs. Meith had left 1ler pole bajted out and was rowing up the river. and on returning found that the wild duck had swallowed the minnow. as well as the hook. Very little trou- ble was experienced in landing tine duck.
 Another thing, Mr. Meth brought a great majority of his tish home, so that local followers. who are of the
 seeing is believing class. = might not take exception to his story.
