BRUCE M. BREWER SAYS WHOLE SALE PRICES IN BIRMINGHAM COMPARE FAvoRABLY WITH AT LANTA AND MEMPHIS.
To the Editor of The -Age-Herald:

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 A short time ago our firm was build ing in the Birmingham, Atlanta and Memphis districts. We compared the wholesale prices of the different locali- ties on supplies for our various conimls- saries and outfits. There existed no ap- preciable difference bet vern these prices on standard groceries and general com- missary supplies. We found that Birniing- ham offered the best hardware assortment and the lowest prices in that l;ne. The prices on retail groc ,-!es wera the same in all three cities for the same quality cf goods.
 Even without actual comparison G prices between cities the keen competition which is apparent In Birmingham must keep the margin of profit at very rea- sonable percentage. Most of our retail grocers are active managers Of their own establishments cooperative store must have a salaried manager, also a number of stockholders with varisi ideas of procedure Better lay that cooperative idea back on the scrap heap with the "divine ratio and the other relics of the days of '93. Yours sincerely

 J. ID. Shelby, chairman of the music committee, reported at length on the work of his committee and made sev- eral recommendations. One of the most important of these recommendations to be adopted was the appointing of Philip Memoli as general director of all the music for the reunion.
 The offer of the Treble Clef club so give several free concerts during the reunion was accepted and a request made that a programme of great va. riety with the assistance of a braJs and reed choir be carried out. They were also requested to have their chorus render a programme one night under their own director.
 The childrens chorus was a feature that also received particular attention by the executive committee. This is expected to be one of the best parts of the reunion, and instructions were issued by the committee to begin the work of training them for it at once. The grand chorus of the school child ren will number several thousand.
 Dr. Byron Dozier, chairman of the committee on horses also made a re- port. Dr. Dozier stated that the com mittee had looked into the matter thoroughly and that arrangements had been made for the securing of the nec- essary horses and carriages at req sonable price.

HOWARD THINKS
 ROOSEVELT JOKING
FORMER PoPULlST CONGRESS- MAN BELIEVES PRESIDENT IS ONLY MAN WHO CAN BEAT MIR. BRYAN-HuGHES EMlSSARY.

M. W. Howard of Fort Payne former member of Congress, and with the pos sible exception of Jerry Simpson, tn Q best known populist in the United States, is registered at the Hillman.
 Although it has been several years since the author of If Christ Should Come to Congress" has figured in poli- tics, he, nevertheless, keeps in close touch with the situation. His firm be :. lief is that MT. Roosevelt will be the nominee of the republican party
 II have believed for three years, and have predicted, that MT. Rooseevlt would be the nominee. l still cling to that belief in spite of recent de- velopments, and in spite of MT. Roose- velt's oft-repeated populations. It is my opinion that in case of his nom nation, he will again De elected.
 However if MT. Roosevelt is not nominated, I believe that MT Bryan will win. At any rate, he has a better chance to land the plum than ever be- fore.'
 Joseph c. Manning of Alexander City, editor of the South ern American, and the man thought to be Governor Hughes lieutenant in Alabama, is also at the if;llman. MT. Manning states his firm belief that Hughes will be the nominee, and that Secretary Taft has no chance whatever
 It has been reported recently that J. E. Milholland of New York, looking after Hughes chances in the south has been in communication with MT. Man ming. That gentleman. however. while not denying, did not affirm. He de- clared. however, that Hughes would get a certain number of delegates from those uninstructed from the southern states, and as stated, predicts his nomination.
 Another prominent republican in tn e city last night was ex-Congressman W. F. Aldrich of Aldrich, owner of the Birmingham Times.

 URGING JOHNSON
LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR G-AY
 RECEIVES REPLY FROM MINNIE
 SOTA'S GOVERNOR TO INVITA- TON TO SPEAK AT TUSCALOOSA

The state administration has joined President Robert Jemson, Jr. of the Alumni association of the Univ ersity ot Alabama. in inviting Gov. John A. John son of Minnesota to attend the com niencement of the University of Alabama in May
 Both Governor Conner and Lieutenant Governor Gray have written letters to Governor Johnson. Lieutenant Governor Gray received his reply yesterday.
 This letter was almost identical wl,l that received by President Jemison Sat- urday. Governor Johnson stated that he would visit Alabama is he possibly could, but that he was unable to give a positive answer as yet. He expressed keen de- sire to visit the state, and tintimated that he considered his chances of coming exceedingly good.
 As is known, Governor Johnson has been invited to deliver the alumni ad- dress at the university commencement In case he accepts, and it is now con- sidered almost a certainty that he will, the entire state administration will att tend the university commencement, and assist in the reception of the prominent American. Governor Johnson will be ex- pected to spend day, at least, in Bir- minghan, where he will be entertained probably at a banquet. He will also de- liver an address in Mobile, and will un- doubtedly visit Montgomery.
 Governor Johnson. with the exception of William Jennings Bryan, Is perhaps the most popular democrat today. It Is reck- oned that he will be the greatest draw ing card that the university could ob- tain and that his address will be the means of drawing hundreds of people to Tuscaloosa who are not alumni of the old institution.
