 Too, the first list of candidates names had a great deal to do with the rush on the campaign department"
 first list to appear in order to find out who they would compete with, started out immediately yesterday morning after they had seen The Herald. with the determination of winning one of the big high-powered motor ears. Others were waiting to see if they had been nominated. One young lady who was in the office about o'clock with her nomination, told the campaign manager. Tt is a pretty come off. Here I've been living in Birmingham all my life, and here this big list of nomina tions is published in The Age-Herald this morning and mine is not there. Surely all my friends know that l am over the age limit O. it doesn't mat ter-my making the nominations brings just as many votes, so here it is. and l would like to have two receipt books. as I have girl friend who would like to help me" And those two young ladies certainly went to work Before noon they were back in the office with several subscriptions
 Don't wait for some one else to nom that it is useless to send in your name as they believe that several others have already sent it in. Don't wait for any one else to do it-send it to the cam paign manager today, yourself.

JUMPING AT BOND OFFER

Tn this column reference was made a day or two ago to the fact that the city of Rio de Janerio had sent to New York an offering of $1c,OOo.000 in bonds in the hope that there would be speedy sale os these securities. It was indeed speedy sale Within a few hours after the of fering was made public the syndicate which had underwritten the issue found that so eager were investors to take the bonds that the issue was heavily over subscribed
 Of course, one reason for this large sub scription is to be found in the fact that the bonds bear per cent interest, and per cent in these times offers tempta- tion to those who desire to invest Tn bonds There was also the excellent credit which the city of Rio possesses.
 But after all, what is especially signifi- cant in this transaction is the fact that Brazil is now turning to the United States as a source for funds whereas hereto fore, or at least before 1914, she always turned to Londcn. The investment of American money in the bonds of the city of Rio means much more than return or per cent upon the investment, and the certainty that the principal to be paid on the day of maturity. It means that brazll will increase her trade with the united States. It means that other South Amer ican nations will come to the United States with offerings of bonds or other se- curities and it probably means that in the course of few years this country will be found to be the source of new capital for South America, thereby assuming a new relation which heretofore has been held by Great Britain chiefly, although to some extent by France and Germany. The transaction also means that funds in plenty are awaiting investment in good securities, and that investments of this kind will hereafter not be confined to the United States securities, but to a con- stantly increasing extent in securities sent here by municipalities. public utility railroad companies and va rious industries in Europe which stand in need of American capital and which there are the best of reasons for believ- ing they will receive.
