LETTERS TO EDITOR
Wants Business Governor

To the Editor of The Age-Herald
 l am for Governor Conner because Ala bama, at this time, needs a man for gov ernor who has unquestionable ability as a business man. Governor Conner has de- monstrated his business ability in his own affairs, while governor of the state of Alabama for four years. He spent the states money judiciously and for the best interests of the citizens. We need him at this time for the same qualifications which he showed as governor before
 He is man of decided firmness, and the business men of Birmingham have great confidence in hi mand feel that his administration will give the state pros perity by inducing capital to invest with in it's borders. Yours very truly,
 w. M. COSBY. Rirminoham May 1q11
