 l To the Editor of The Age Herald l w. P Thomson of Guntersville. in 1 his first appeal to the people for po- | litical honors, believes that they should 1 support him because he has many | friends in the Seventh district who are l glad to vote him this honor of going | to St. Louis to cast their vote for the l great democratic leader who goes to l the people with the great matters of I state, rather than the interests and a l few political ''warwicks."
 MT. Thomson is a great believer in 1 Wilson, Underwood and the political and business possibilities of the Sev- ] enth district This is the reason why ] they are going to send him as one or i the delegates from the seventh district. ] w P THOMPSON. 1 Guntersville, March 8, 1916. ] To the Editor of The Age-Herald { I am candidate for delegate to the 1 national democratic convention from ] the Seventh Congressional district or !

 l To the Editor of The Age-Herald: l There are four reasons why l am go- ling to be elected delegate from the Tmrd , congressional district to the democratic national convention.
 The people of my district know that l I am democrat who knows democratic nrincinIes. They know that have fought | for the party in every national campaign | for 20 years in more than 20 states. They l know that I will do it again this fall' 1 They know that I am going to the con 1 vention to aid in the sound. constructive work of the national democracy and not to | e. +fNt1 nf a T- ed democracy of Alabama.
 KYLE E. PRICE, To the Editor of The Age-Herald: Announcing myself a candidate to the ms tional democratic convention:
 First, I am for Woodrow Wilson ana his policies, without any prefix or af- fixes: believing his prefix determination to uphold the honor and dignity of our country, and at the same time to keep
 us at peace with the world. has en- throned him in the love and affection oi 1 our entire country
 Therefore he is, in my opinion, the right man in the right place, and snould
 be retained as chief executive of this government for the next four years. Second, I am not lawyer, but an old line democrat, believing the people all powerful and should rule.
 If the above does not disqualify me,

 To the Editor of The Age-Herald: If honorary preferment properly goes as reward for long and faithful party 1 service, it would seem that might just l ly claim the honors of elector from the | Seventh congressional district My serv- ices as member and chairman of the | county and senatorial district committees | run back almost continuously for B l years and never asked for a county or state office. As pension examiner and as an officer of the Sons of Veterans have aided materially in securing such | legislation as would preserve the in- tegrity of the Confederate pension rolls | and reinstate those who were improperly dropped therefrom.
