and heating departments and other branches of the city machinery over to the unions, just because his old friend Buck Davis is supporting him, as that Wardj can claim that pr. Bar rett will employ some respectable citi- zen to act as purchasing agent for the city? If Ward is elected will he employ any of the defeated candidates sup porters?
 And wouldn't it be a strange consl- dcnce just at this time if the records at the city comptroller's office at the city hall, in the license department, di- rectly under MT. Wards control, should show that closed or union shops doing steam-heating and represented by Buck Davis. had not been required to pay any license for the year 1917, but the word charge appeared in connection with each of these firms, while the open or nonunion ship doing steam heating and not controlled by Buck Davis, was com pelled to pay license of $50 for the year 1917, and then forced to pay fine of So for not paying the license soon enough It is reported that the city is without coal and money, still Bucks friends hare not been required to pay their license, much less the 5 fine for not paying.
 say if the records show these things at this writing it would be strange, in deed. But after this article is read I would not guarantee what the fecOfuS would show, as strange things happen, and men will change their minds. It has also been stated that the corpora tions and manufacturers are for Mr. Ward, and if there are any of these folk that doubt the wisdom of Ward in selecting Buck Davis as a side-partner if they will call by my office I will pro- duce some evidence for them of Buck s ability and also his activities as business agent of the plumbers union in this lis- trict for the last few years.
 WOULD BE GLAD OF VOTE
 am of the opinion that MT. Ward would be glad of the vote and confidence of any man or organization, even the T. As, and am sure that either of the other candidates would welcome either the Catholic vote that MT. Ward seems to have injected into this fight or even the small labor vote that Mir. Ward seems to have swiped. Each of these candidates has a right to be proud of his support and each voter has right to be proud of his choice of candida tes. although I have heard very prominent business men say that being truthful men, they would vote for Ward as prom ised but they would always feel that they owed their friends an apology for doing so.
 will only say further that while I know very little of the T. As or the T. WIS or the c. As (Civic association, or the Knights of Columbus, and not Doziers or Dickinsons ana not being able

 MT. Ward would have the public believe that he is being badly treated because some other candidate has the respect and support of some organization that has possibly had my experience with him (Ward), and the bringing into this cam paign of all this religious stuff for no other purpose than to fool the people is all rot.

recall time when MT. Ward, without any intimation or explanation, changed
 his mind from the time he left the city hall. where he left his friends believing
 him as true as steel, to the time he ar rived at the coroner's office and there. behind closed doors, stabbed some of his lifelong friends in the back clear up to the hilt. And by the way, they were friends that had recently pulled him out of a much worse hole than he will find himself in after election day.

CHARLES M, ALLEN TELLS WHY WARD WILL BE DEFEATED Well Known Contractor FOresees Overwhelming Victory for Barrett TO DECIDE CONTEST ON ABILITY OF EACH Brings Up Several Questions Which, He Says, Must Be Con-
 sidered in the Present
 Campaign

Charles M. Allen, the well known con tractor, yesterday addressed a communi- cation to The Age Herald, in which he tells why pr. Barrett vii be overwhelm- ingly elected president of the city com mission.
 He maintains that the religious is- sue has nothing to do with the matter and that MT. Wards defeat will be upon his own record. Mr. Allen is man of decided opinions and he does not hes- tate to express them in this letter, which reads as follows:
 To the Editor of The Age-Herald
 What is the matter with Birmingham Don't you think this question was partly answered Tuesday night at the Ward meeting when Mir Ward, candidate for president of our city commission, deliv- cred his disgraceful speech? I am in- deed surprised that The Age-Herald, the sourhs greatest paper, would even re- port such a shameful effort
 However, with your declaration of Au- gust 14 that you would publish all of the news of this campaign, you can hardly be cenSured.
 It seems that anyone not voting for MT. Ward must not be a very desirable citizen, according to this most wonderful speech.
 MI. " dilu SSSAS lO iOl tHat hAA VI the people whoever they are, that he is slanderng and belittling are helping to pay his unearned salary. They all seem to have been pretty good citizens un- til they decided they had enough of George Ward. It is certainly something new for hired man of the city to get on his ear and try to dictate to his em- ployers who they shall vote for in an election and especially after this hired man had so completely failed after years of pension drawing. MT. Ward says some of his employers have acted in bad faith because they have changed their minds and were men enough to come to him and make some explanation of their oc

age.
Points where at least three of the
additional training camps are to be
established are Columbia, S. c., Macon,

To Make Tour of South.
Gen. Wood will remain in Charles
ton until Thursday to thoroughly or

the people to the real situation and

with a view of having work begin i'm

bring the South the fullest co-opera-

may be at their maximum. The mes
sage to the business, world is that bust |

ever before. The message to the young |
men is that their country needs them,
right now, not when the battle may be |
half lost. The message to the man !
behind the pillow is that in him rests !
the strength of the nation"
War to Last Two Years.
Gen. Wood expects the European war
to last at least two years longer, prob |
ably three, and he expects the allies !
to be successful only when they have |
expended every ounce of energy on the |
battlefield He expects the war to |
be a long and bitter one with the !
greatest fighting yet to be done. He
expects to have men constantly in !
training to take the places of vacan
cies that occur in the line or file.
