 Taylor, who had never held public office, defeated city alderman [[John Tuohey]] in the Democratic mayoral primary of November 1910. Taylor promised to serve the city as a progressive businessman in his campaign. He hoped to improve public health, fire department services, and reduce the amount of gambling, alcohol consumption, and prostitution in the city. The election results were tainted by scandal. In a run-off election Taylor emerged victorious. He entered the [[Little Rock Mayor's Office]] in April 1911. Taylor, police chief [[Fred Cogswell]], and the [[Little Rock Vice Commission]] worked together to close down the city's red light district by 1913. He also cleaned up the city's water system, paved streets, installed fire hydrants and sewer lines, and erected electric streetlights. The [[Little Rock Central Fire Station|Central Fire Station]] was also constructed downtown during his tenure.
