 FOR THE LEGISLATURE
To the Editor of The Age-Herald:

To the Editor of The Age-Herald
 Permit me, through the columns of your paper, to commend to the voters of lief ferson county MT. T. II. Motion as a gentleman well qualified to represent Ala bama's imperial county in our next legis- lature.
 I have known Mr. Motion for more than 20 years and have watched his career as business man, and active agency in the upbuilding of Birmingham. His char acter, the work he has accomplished and his many good deeds will not be forgot ten by those who took notice of this man of action.
 One characteristic of Mr. Motion which I greatly admire is his courage of his convictions. Unfortunately. this char acteristic Is lacking in too many men prominent before the public.
 As well said in an editorial in one of our newspapers: MT. Motion has never courted popularity. In fact he has al- ways scorned to stoop to such a policy and he has made 1t a rule in his conduct of life to look at all questions, public or private, strictly according to their merits and to advocate or reject them as they appear deserving or vicious to him. Once having decided as to the propriety of d course according to his lights, neither threats nor bribery can avail to swerve him from the pathy of duty
 Mir. Motion has been one of Birming- hams most useful citizens. To his credit stands many permanent and substantial enterprises He 1t was who for several years fought, almost single-handed, for better and cheaper water. It was he who called the first mass meeting of the citi- zens of Jefferson county to consider the advisability and practicability of the county building sanitary sewerage sys- tenn At this meeting a committee was appointed to draft a bill to be presented to the legislature, which afterwards be- came a law, creating the Jefferson coun- ty sanitary commission. MT. Motion was an active member of this commission and we are familiar with the great work ac- complished
 As president of the Commercial club . few years ago MT. Motion was energetic in building up the club and expanding its useful work. As chairman of special committee of this club it was he who did more than any other man In Alabama to have the law taxing foreign corporations lending money in Alabama repealed. His work on the committee to oppose making two counties out of Jeffersons territory and his work for Greater Birmingham are matters too well known to require any lengthy mention
 Mr. Molton is now president of the Ala bama State Industrial and Commercial as- sociation. a position of honor and re- sponsibility placed upon him by the as- sociation on the occasion of it's last meet ing, which gives him a wider field of usefulness. He has large acquaintance all over the state, having been born in Montgomery and lived there until his re- moval to Birmingham in 1sSG This &C., quaintance will be of value to him as our representative.
 I have read his announcement for the legislature, and every plank in his plat form Is sound to the core. He is honest, bold, brave, independent. experienced and intelligent. What more do we want? I congratulate the citizens of this county in having the opportunity of securing so able man to represent them. We must elect him. SAMUEL ULLMAN.
