(Commun4cated) JOHN c. FoRNEY.
He Has Lots of Friends, Who Will
 Make Him Win.

John Forneys friends will rally to ms support because they know he IS the best man in the race.
 I know John Forney has received no contributions to his campaign fund He has no campaign fund. His political en- emeis have said he has received such con- tributions-this is an untruth.
 Forney cannot get less than 800 votes.
 Ward and Simmons seem to be fight ing for third place. The race IS really between Forney and O'Neill.
 John C. Forney stands for correct gov ernment. The machine has not adopted him as their candidate. He has inner tied a level head He Is a fair man. He believes in gradual progress, not in icon oclastic movements. He is man who can feel the pulse of every man, and can readily respond to their wants. It seems to me that he is the best man to fill the executive office, mayor of Birmingham by virtue of his liberal education, train ing and experience.
 He has no alliance with any candidate He will win first for himself, first for proper government.
 Possessing a kind heart, having culti- vated liberal mind, of noble percentage nurtured by the people, he stands Tor the people as just, generous and kind, strong, firm and full of conviction, fair and easily approached, at all times the same unruffled man. A NoIhh.
