POSTPONE TAG DAY
 UNTIL LAST IF MAY
Rain Yesterday Caused Sec ond Delay in Boys
 Home Event

The powers that control the actions of the sun and rain brought forth an- other disagreeable day for Tag Day yesterday and as a result of the sec ond disappointment the ladies in charge decided to postpone the event until the last of May At that time it is ex- pocted that the weather will be a It. tie more settled and perchance there will be one nice day on which Tag Day can be held.
 The workers for Tag Day were on ;he streets early yesterday morning and remained until about o'clock, when if was decided that the weather would not clear up enough to permit a successful day. The two bad satur- days have proved a great disappoint- ment to tho managers of Tag Day Extensive plans had been made and everything was in readiness to dispose of thousands of the little yellow tags.
 However. only one Tag Day is held in the entire year and it Is neeessary that that day be a bright and cheery one for about s5000 must be cleared Cor the Boys club. The chances of sell ing many tags yesterday were very slight as the downpour of rain kept the crowds off the streets.
 By the last of May the boys and girls who are now away at college will ae time for Tag Day. Perhaps the weather will be a little warmer. but in that case the workers may stop. for few hours at noontime and rest up. The exact time for Tag Day has not been decided upon yet, but 1t will not be until the latter part of next month.

 ALREADY ON SCENE
Estimated That Fully 5000 Letters Were Sent Out Yesterday From Alabama to Georgia in Oscar
 Underwood's Behalf

The invasion of Georgia by Alabamians will be at it's height before Monday morn ing. They are going for the purpose of capturing the Empire state for Oscar W. Underwood.
 Already in Georgia are Senator John H. Bankhead Gov. Emmet ONeal. Congress- man J. Thomas Henln and ex-Congress- man Jesse r. Stalllngs.
 The following are going today:
 To Rome-R. B. smyer. W. P. Lay of Gadsden and Hugh White of Attalla.
 To Marietta-walter Sessions and A D. Smith
 To LaGranee-George Yancey.
 To Greensboro-Graham Perdue
 To Blakesley-Jud William F. Fort.
 To Atlanta-Oscar c. Turner, E. K. Campbell. Henry B. Gray, Culpepper Exum Harry Jones, Nathan L. Miller, Charles Calhoun, Henry A. Howse, craw- ford Johnston and Isadore Shapiro. This squad of Alabamians Is going to fight for Underwood. They are not going because they fear that Underwood will be defeated. But they are going primarily for the purpose of refutlng the claim of the organs of Woodrow Wilson that Ala bamians are at heart for any other can didate than Underwood. They will remain in the Empire state | until the dato of the election, May 1, and will report to G. R. Hutchens Under woods manager in Georgia, and will act as he directs. They are willing to do anything or make any sacrifice for the cause.
 Yesterday was letter day in Birming- ham. Following the suggestion of Mir. Hutchens and MT. Turner made through The Age-fIerald yesterday. the people of Alabama wrote letters in the interest of | nderwood to friends in Georgia. It is estimated that fully 5OOo letters were mailed during the day. These letters will continue to go to Georgia until the date of the primary.
 II is teheved that with Georgia In the column of MT. Underwood he will land the nomlnatlon at Baltimore. This fact Las arOtse ed the democracy of the south. for 1t is generally admitted that MT. Un- derwood is the only democrat before the public eye today who can defeat the re- publicans, divided though they be, in No- vember. Wilson is out of the running. Harmon is out of the running. Clark has a handicap on account of his Canada an- neXaton schemes. Underwood is consid- cred the man. There is absolutely no doubt of his nomination, his leaders con tend. if he can line up under his banner the delegations of the solid south
 The squadron of Alabamians is going for Georgia today They go confident of winning. and confident that with Alabama and Georgia Mississippi and Florida will fall into line

Vigorous spesehes were made on the
subject and various substitutes were pro
posed. some strongly opposed to any
change. declaring that the present clause
rightly Interpreted does not teach in
