JUDGE |. B. TEASLEY.

Urges Voters to Set Aside Personal Consideration and
 Vote for States Interest

Declaring that the state of Alabama needs careful and wise head to guard her in the financial stress under which she is now struggling and which will continue to call for wise and able man. agement during the administration of the next governor, Judge Charles B. Teasley appeals to the voters to lay aside all other considerations and vote for the man that appears best fitted to safeguard the states interests.
 Judge Teasley has made his campaign on a high plane, resorted to no political tricks, and has indulged in no mud-sling- ing, and announces that he does not want to win on the shortcoming of his oppo- nents. if they have any but on his mer- it's alone.
 Indorsing Judge Teasley as a wise man, honest, patriotic and experienced by long training in and conduct of state revenue matters are some of the best known men in Alabama, among them former Gov. William D. JeIks of Birming- ham, Ray Rushton of Montgomery, A. M. Baldwin of Montgomery, Hugh Nal lory of Selma, R. F.. Spragins of Hunts vile, T. J. Reynolds of Montevallo E. c. Melvin of Selma, w.

 Some of the reasons the committee is advancing why it is desirable to have an automobile club at this time, and some Of the things they hope to ac- complish through such an organization follow;
 l. We know that the organization of this club will help our government in the winning of the war. The na- tional council of defense, through the highways transport committee. advo- cates the formation of clubs of this character. We intend to be of direct benefit to the government by the es- tablishment of a return loads bureau. The purpose of this bureau Is 10 an courage the merchants, manufacturing plants, industrial concerns and the farmers of this district to depend more upon the truck lines for the transpor- tation of government and private freight.
 g. To cooperate with all organiza- tions in the building and maintaining of better roads in Alabama; to make the Dixie highway success in the south.
 3. To make Birmingham the tourist center of America. To attract to Bir- mingh ham s2,o00,0o0 a year of tourists money.
