M. P. Messer, the well known real es- tate dealer saidt ''If I could be of any service in the campaign that has been started in favor of the adoption of a commission I would freely and gladly throw down my business and devote what strength and influence I may possess for what I conceive to be the best interest of Birmingham. I have never been sat isfied with the manner in which this city has been governed and I believe that I express the sentiments of the greatest number of our best citizens What is everybodys business Is nobodys business and under the present system the city cannot possibly have good service by conscientious servants of the people. When the fact Is taken into consideration that every city that has adopted the com mission plan has found 1t a success in every particular there remains for its opponents absolutely no grounds for gument. The theory may be attacked, but actual practice is final proof. I be- lieve that every first-class city should be governed under this plan and sin cerely hope that the legislature will en- act the necessary laws for its adoption in this city
 Tn answer to the claim advanced by the opponents of the plan that a com- mission does away with all democracy in municipal government I may say that I consider it to be even more democratic than the aldermanic system. Ward poli tics will be relegated to the ash heap with the rest of our worthless institu- tions. What could be more democratic than an administration managed by men of honor, elected as commissioners by the people at large? The day of the spe- cial interest and unfair discrimination has passed when once the commission form is adopted"
 P. E. Bostick said that though he had taken no special pains to study the plan he was convinced from the favorable re- ports coming from the various cities now under commissions that the system was what Birmingham is most in need of. 'I consider 1t a very good thing" he said, land hope soon to see the interests of this city looked after by three or five able commissioners"
