PLATFORM THAT o'NEiLL AS GAN. DIDATE FOR MAYOR STANDS oN-cLEAN RECORD OF AsPlR. ANTS PUBLIC CAREER.

To the Voters of Birmingham;
 This being the last week of the munie- pal campaign. we desire, as voters and tax payers of Birmingham to urge upon you to vote and work for John w. O'Neil for mayor, believing him to be the best fitted of the candidates offering for the place.
 There Is scarcely voter in the city who does not know Mir. O'Neill if not personally. by his excellent business and official reputation. He is a man of such high character and is so thoroughly hon est in his dealings with his fellow man. that we feel assured that the best in terest of Birmingham can be safely in- trusted Into his keeping.
 The campaign that he has conducted for mayor has been upon the same high plane as his past public career, and after careful canvass of a majority of the voters of the city, the committee feels assured that he will not only lead the procession in the first primary on Mo- vember 21, but that he has excellent chances of winning the nomination in the first primary Therefore we call upon you to rally to the support of MT. o'Nein and help us do away with the necessity of second primary.
 MT. O'Neill's record In the city council has been above reproach, and we do not believe that he has cast vote that he did not consider to the best interest of the city
 He has given as much of his time and means toward the upbuilding of Birm- ingham as possibly any other man in the city.
 As a public official he stands for;
 First--An economical administration of the affairs of the city.
 second-The progress of Birmingham.
 Third-A liberal support of the public schools of the city so as to bring them up to the highest possible standard of efficiency.
 Fourth-Better-f protection to re- duce our exhorbttant insurance rates. Fifth-Clean streets, well lighted and as free from dust as possible
 sixth-He stands pledged for the much needed improvements of the parks and cemeteries of the city.
 Eighth-He believes that the duties of the office of Mayor are sufficiently im- portant to require the entire time of the person honored with the position, and he stands pledged to give the office all his time.
 Ninth--He believes the tax payers of the city should know how their money is being expended and he will have a l periodical accounting published through the local press
 Teuth-He is untrammeled by promises to any interest or organization and is therefore free to act in the best inter- est of all people.
 Eleventh--Honest and courageous, he will, we believe, give the city clean business administration.
 We urge upon you to go early to ths polls next Monday and assist us in plac. ing in the mayoralty chair John W O'Neill.
 Very respectfully,
