CONFIRMS HIS DECLARATION IN FAVOR OF COMMISSION FORM OF VIEWS URON GENERAL PUBLIC QUESTIONS

In the pending contest for the demo- ham, have made no effort to arrange or address public meetings of the voters of Birmingham. I felt that the democratic voters of this city were weary of over much politics and in no mood to attend public meetings. Moreover. l am a busi- ness man, not lawyer; make no preten- sions to oratory or ability as public speaker, but l feel that 1t is due the peo- pie of Birmingham and myself that should make a plain, direct statement as to the reasons which induced me to offer for the mayoralty and as to some of the things which I hope to accomplish if elected.
 Beginning life without fortune, fnan- cial backing or the advantages of a col legiate education, what little success l have achieved in life has been the result of my own honest and determined eff forts. Thirteen years ago, attracted by the advantages of Birmingham as man ufacturing and distributing center, came here and engaged in the manufacturing business. Hard work in that business and fortunate investments in Birmingham real estate and property, due to my abid- ing faith in Birmingham's future great ness have achieved for me. not wealth, but a reasonable measure of financial in- dependence. From the day I arrived in Birmingham to this good hour have felt the warmest interest in Birmingham S growth and betterment. Whenever oppor- tunity has offered, I have, to the extent of my ability, contributed to the material and moral up-buiding of this splendid community.
 I should like to be Mayor of Birming- within the next few years of doing good work for the improvement of the city. l should like to be Mayor of Birmingham because of the opportunity of usefulness | and of achieving some distinction and reputation. If I am elected Mayor oi Birmingham. I expect to lose. not to make, money by filling the office. I have no axe to grind, no selfish end to sub serve. and I want 1t distinctly understood that I am a candidate of no clique or faction. I shall welcome the support of all the democratic voters of the Greater City who for any reason consider my election best for the city's welfare, but am running on my own initiative, and If l am elected Mayor of Birmingham, my object shall be the welfare of the entire community. and I shall be dominated by no selfish interest.
 Greater Birmingham Is in It's formative period. The next few years will be an important epoch in Its history, Brming- nam. including its suburbs must be bet
