 MT. Jackson Talks.
 F. M. Jackson, manager for George B. Ward:
 '"The campaign of MT. Ward has been thoroughly organized from the beginning and we have come in touch with all the qualified voters of all occupations. MT. Wards following at the start was large ly composed of business men who have watched the city government and who realized the necessity for a change. They were in earnest about it, and their sin cerity and enthusiasm have been con tagious As the people have become in- formed, the voters have awakened to the real situation and the list of register ed voters pledged to Ward has grown every day. Business men, workingmen, professional men, clerks and men with fixed incomes have vied with each other in promoting the interests of the city
 "We have made a careful canvass, and of the voters who made no concealment of their preferences. clear majority over all are for MT. Ward.
 We confidently believe, therefore, that Mir Ward will be the nominee of the primary, or run off.
 we have made our campaign in the open, have made the issues clear and MT. Ward goes into the election as the only candidate who stands for that ag- gressive policy which never fails any where to win the approval among the free voters of America"
 Claims of Forney.
 John c. Forney:
 "The outlook is promising in the ex- treme. My friends have conducted an open and clean campaign in my behalf. and have refrained from personalities.
 "A great many voters of Birmingham who are strongly opposed to some of the other candidates for mayor, realizing there is to be a second primary, have nc fear but that a man who is correct in his habits, strong in intellect and faithful to the public trust, will be elected. When they look at this matter they decide For ney is the man they want for the office.
 The battle has ended and as the day for election comes on my friends appear to be confident of my election"
 Crittenden Is Pleased.
 Escar Floyd, manager for Judge M. H Crittenden:
 "The campaign which has just come to an end has been an interesting one. The friends and supporters of Judge Critten- den have made a good fight, and the re- suits of their efforts will show at the polls tomorrow.
 We feel safe in saying that the people of Birmingham appreciate the fact that our candidate should be elected to the high office of mayor He demands the re- spect and confidence of all classes, and foi the past few weeks we have met with en- couragement at every turn.
 We have undertaken to obliterate all personalities during the fight, and in this we have been highly applauded. We are not making any wild claims, but after looking over the field carefully. we think Judge Crittenden is almost sure to be the next mayor of all of the people of Bir. mingham, and not any class or clan"
