SEED DID NOT KNOW . OF REPORTED SLATE
Monette Suggested Seed Run for Congress But Met
 Immediate Opposition

Iieutenant-Governor Walter D. Seed in a letter to The Age-Herald written from Tuscaloosa, explains that on account of absence from the state he had no op- portunity of replying to The Age-Heralds s communication asking concerning the ef- fort of Congressman Hobson to form a political combination for the purpose of controlling three of the important off, Aces of the state.
 In reference to that combination. MT. Seed says:
 'I heard nothing of this report until I received your letter and saw Sundays Age-Herald Captain Hobson has lever suggested to me 10 run for congress; nor did I suspect that he had even done 50 indirectly. His secretary, Mir. Monette, did suggest that l make the race for congress. To this l was so decidedly op- posed that nothing further was said In this casual conversation with MT. Mo- nette. which occurred on the. streets of Tuscaloosa. l supposed that the sugg ss- ton originated with Mr. Monette; neither Hobsons nor Corners name was men tioned.'

 untrue but that plans had progressed very rapidly on the details
 "The apartment on the corner of 1ro- quols street and Highland avenue, will be built at a cost of f1soOoO." said MT, McDavid. s1t will not be any ordinary, cheap apartment house, but building lending dignity and attraetiveness to that part of the city. It will be thoroughly in keeping with the elegant homes in that community. The building will be of Spanish renaissance and will spread out gracefully over 300 feet facing High land avenue. The work on that building is progressing even more rapidly than I believed possible and every indication points to the beginning of work without any material delays"

SEND IMMIGRATION
 LITERATURE FREE
Immigration Commissioner Lee Cowart Says Amer
 ica for Americans"

America for Americans has been adopted as a motto by Lee Cowart. Ala bama's commissioner of immigration.
 In an effort to put that motto into effect. MT. Cowart is planning to get through congress a bill authorizing the postal department to handle immigration literature for all the states of the union as cheapIy as literature of the health and agricultural departments is handled.
 "One can scarcely appreciate the de- gree in which worthy Americans are en1i- grating each year. said MT. Cowart yes terday in Birmingham.
 ..For instance. last year, 100000 heads of American families emigrated to Can ada. There Is no reason under the sun why a man should leave America for Canada or any other country. We have every thing here that is offered elsewhere and everything can be obtained here as cheaply.
 What is needed is advertisement. This can be accomplished easily if the govern ment will give to the immigration de- partments of all the states postal rate as cheap as is given newspapers, health and agricultural departments.
 T feel sure that congress will act on this snatter favorably as soon as the com ditions are presented. At the present time we pay 8 cents per pound. Newspapers pay cent. The difference is enormous when quantity Is considered
 MT. Cowart will go to Washington early in January, and while there will endeavor to interest members Of the Ala bama delegation in his plan. He has high hopes of being able to accomplish greatly advanced step in this regard, in behalf of the nation.
 He will also go to Chicago when at the show there. Alabama products are on display.
