 q feel honored that you have asked me to accept this important trust, es- oecially at q time when we are con- fronted with many serious problems relating to our finances, building and 0ouipment and school management. Heretofore when I have been asked to run for office of school director l have always refused for the reason that did not feel myself equal to the duties of such position here, although 1 have always had deep interest in the welfare of our schools and now, of course, naturally have more in- terest than ever. realize that it is one of the hardest positions to fill properly that there is in Prescott, but the association with a body of men such as you are, of whose hearty CO., operation I feel assured, gives me encouragement to accept. l have no desire to arbitrarily shirk any duty as citizen, and especially do 1 believe that in educational matters we should be unit and present a solid front against what l might we'll term at this day the crime of ignorance. am willing to worn with you and stand the "cussin" and do the best tan for the remainder of Judge Den mans uneXpired term"

FRENCH TAKE THE OF.
 FENSIVE NEAR VERDUN
King VictOr's Men Forced to Give Up Additional Positions to the Victorious Austrians- Have Lost 31,0S2 Men.

London, May 31.-The French troops, northwest of Verdun, in the region of Le Morte Homme, have turned on the offensive and in a spirited attack have captured 8 strongly organized position on the slopes southwest of Le Mortd Homme. Seven machine guns and 225 prisoners were taken in the attack, the only infantry fighting on We'd nesday reported in the latest state ments.
 The towns of Avocourt and Hill 304 in this immediate vicinity are under a heavy bombardment and shells of large calibre are being used Bom- bardments are in progress north of Verdun from the Mouse region to Fort Vauz and in Hartmann's Weller kopf region of the Vosges mountains.
 On the Asiago- Arsiero sector of the Austro- Italian front, the Austrians have taken additional points of van tage and put down attemps by King Victor Emmanuel's men to recover lost ground. According to the Aus trian statement during the present offensive, they have captured 31,0S2 Italians and 29S cannon. The Ita lian war office admits the evacuation of positions at Monte Priaforo and Punta Cordin on the Asiago Plateau
 The Lage region, south of Dvinsk, on the Russian front, again is the scene of heavy bombardments, partly due to more infantry fighting. Fur ther south on the Volhynia front and along the Bessarabian front, there is increased activity by the Teutons and Russians. Petrograd reports the cap ture of a Russian position in the re zion of Diarbekr, but says the Rus sians, in counter attack, ejected the invaders. Nothing new has come through concerning the invasion ot Greek Macedonia by the Bulgaria ana Germans, but in the extreme west part of the Balkan front the Austrians along the Voyusa river in Albania have pursued Italian patrols.
 The British invasion of German East Africa continues and has reach ed strongly entrenched positions be tween the Egale mountains and Pagn river where a fight seems probable.

 SITY OF FIRMNESS

Little Rock, June 1.-In his speech accepting the nomination of Cover nor, Dr. c. H. Brough enunciated a doctrine of constructive statesman ship that was enthusiastically ap- plauded. While avoiding radicalism, he emphasized the necessity of firm ness and progressiveness in dealing with the great questions that vitally affect the welfare of the people. In accepting the nomination he pledged the convention that he would return the commission to the people of Arkansas unsullied by any taint of personal or political dishonor" He said that both of his distinguished late opponents have accepted grace fully their defeat and rendered him their unqualified support, an offer which he gladly accepts in the spirit lin which it was given.
 Declaring that "In Arkansas we are living in a golden decade of a golden century of golden age," Dr. Brough briefly reviewed some the the material achievements of the state. To the furtherance of this advancement, q dedicate myself" said he, 'with genu- inc patriotism untainted by any thought of future political preferment and caring only for the thoughtful approval of my fellowmen and the unmistakable voice of a conscience that tells of things we'll done"
 Discussing the financial affairs of the state, Dr. Brough said that official reports indicate an estimated indebt- edness on July 1, 1917, of $S00,000, due largely to the fact that tour rate of taxation is exorbitantly high and our basis of assessment grotesquely ! low"
 "In harmony with our platform de- claration on this subject" said he, '1 shall gather around me body of experts who shall serve as a patriotic duty to consider wise plans for low ering our rate of taxation, making uniform our assessments, and reliev- ing the burden of public debt"
 He endorsed the pure primary bill now being initiated, since honest elections constitute the palladium of a patriotic people, He pledged himself in favor of a Constitutional Convention flor the purpose of cloth , ing the people of Arkansas with gov ernmental garments that will fit their expanding needs,' in the event that the extension of Amendment No. 10 by pending Amendment No. 13 proves unsuccessful and inadequate"
