Judge Gary's Speech Al Newspaper Club Dinner Causes Wide Con1- n1ent-Conpared With the Famous Speech of President Wilson-ViSi- tors Are More Than Delighted With Dinner.

Seldom in the history of "big busi- frank, so hopeful or so deeply convino- ing az that of Judge Ebert H. Gary at the Newspaper club dinner Friday night At least that Is the opinion that scores of men expressed yesterday. The members of the institute at the dinner and the Birmingham men and women who gathered there to do honor to Judge Gary compared his remarka- bly, frank talk with the famous speech of President Wilson some months ago at the National Press club.
 'When you newspaper men think we are doing something wrong come to us and get close to us. Business men are sometimes wrongly judged" he said.
 Come and look into our hearts and judge us as you would be judged" In Birmingham at least there has never been made such statement from a man of the responsibilities of Judge Gary as from man who is so import ant to the industrial future here
 "The toastmaster said I had done things by pushing" said Judge Gary That is true, l believe, in push. But I want to say that I do not believe in pushing if your success must come by pushing your neighbor to one side"
 "At no time before has 1t been so apparent that we are our brothers keeper" was a statement of Judge Gary that caused much comment both at the banquet and on the streets of Birmingham.
 The references to George Gordon Crawford by Judge Gary were the source of great pleasure and gratifi- cation to the friends of MT. Crawford In Birmingham.
 q was at least instrumental in send ing Gordon Crawford here" said Judge Gary His work correctly reflects the policy of the Steel corporation. When you want to know our hopes, our ambitions, and our plans. see MT. Crawford, for he knows them thor oughly I insisted that he come here whether he wanted to or not"
 Judge Gary in his talk was out spoken. He did not mince words and he won the heart of every man and woman present by what he said. His words rang with a sincerity that was undoubted and which was the more appreciated.
 Tremendously Impressed'

Kaul, Oscar Turner and others MT. Hubbard said that the fu- ture of this town was so assured that tsle need have no fear.
 q am tremendously impressed" said Mir. Hubbard AS a matter of fact, I am amazed. I have. like all others interested in industrial districts. heard of Birming- ham from time to time. But I never imagined that this district was anything so wonderful. What you have shown us is so compelling that investors can not remain away from here. l shall not forget what this place has to offer and I hope to take advantage of some or the opportunities presented here. Your hotel Is one of the finest l have ever seen Your progress is undeniable, and I am sure that the brightness of the future of Birmingham cannot be exag- gerated. l am leaving with the best possible opinion of the city and you may be assured that I am a converted booster of Birmingham"
