 GEO. W. ("DADDY'') ARMSTRONG. To the Editor of The AgeHerald:
 The office must be filled and should be by clean, efficient, conservative men.
 Having succeeded as farmer. busi- ness man, teacher and dentist, I feel confident I can meet the highest eX- pectations of my friends in said off, flee

 Not one of my family ever sought office and if elected I will serve the interest of my friends without par tiality to any section, click or clan.
 DIR. JOHN GOODWIN. 10 the Eu1tOr or lne ASe-I1eTdiu'
 My reasons why I should be elected a member of the board of revenue are not from any superiority over any broad minded, good man, who is quali- fled to fill this office. But that I am from Leeds, in the eastern part Of the county, where we have not had personal representative in 8 years.
 I am the only man offering from this side. It is in justice to all that we be represented. l am not poll tician and have never held office. l am indorsed by those who know me best. DIR. A. J. FARLEY. To the Editor of The AgeHerald:
 I submit briefly the principles for which I stand for the board of rev enIe.
 An economical administration and a strict account of all matters pertain ing to or coming before the board of revenue. I believe in education, good roads, highway to the Warrior sani- tation and proper protection.
 These things. MT. Votey, will pro- duce !"health, wealth and happiness" I shall give careful consideration to, as well as an equitable distribution of the county's appropriations, without discrimination, just and fair to every section.
 If favored by your vote and elected, I pledge you my best efforts in car- rying out the platform above annun- ciated. Respectfully. J. B. COBBS. To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Why I should be elected to the of- flee I seek, a member of the board of revenue, is because I feel I am ann ply qualified by business experience and otherwise to meet the demands of this most important office, and am encouraged in this conviction by the most cordial indorsement from many leading citizens of our county. If elected I shall take the office free from promises or obligations, with a clear conscience to do my full duty, and it is an ambition which I feel is justified by my acquaintance with the needs of the people generally. Very truly yours. H. M. ARCHIBALD. Birmingham, March 8, 1916.
 To the Editor of The Age-Herald: I am one of the best posted men on working and maintaining roads in Jefferson county, having worked on | roads under every system the county has ever adopted.
 I am a strong advocate of concrete bridges and for more permanent work in all lines of road work. I favor working the prisoners of said county on the roads and where a road is .auilt to keep it in good repair, as it is economy to keep the roads in the best state of repair.
 I am a man of practical experience and judgment, and. capable of making an all-'round man on the board. J. R. (BOB) TAYLOR. Pratt City, March s, 1911.
