Efforts Of Marshelitown Club Results
IN Getting Accommodations.
As resuae.of q more or less continu-
Gus effort, extending over a period Of
a year or more the Marshalltown Club
has won in its attempt to have the
Northwestern put Chicago sleeper on
its eastbound evening passenger, No. 8.
The sleeper was added to the trains
equipment Monday. The train picks the
Pullman up at Boone. and carries It thru
this city at 1890 in the evening reach
ing Chicago ats:45 the following morn
ing. The Mrshalltown Club asked that
the sleeper be put on the train long ago.
as business men object to waiting up
until midnight to board the first train
on the Northwestern east bound after
dark that carries a Chicago sleeper. The
fact that the Chicago Great Western
put Chicago sleeper on its evening
train is thought to have some influence
with the Northwestern.

Suggests Underwood Folders

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 As secretary of the Underwood club of Etowah county, Alabama, I beg to sug- gest through your valuable colmnmns 10 all of the Underwood clubs in the state the importance of getting busy in disseni- mating our sentiments in creating public sentiment in other states for our choice for President, the Hon. oscar Underwood of Alabama.
 think this can best be done by get ting up envelope folders and distribute them to all of the business men and others who will agree to use them m their letters of correspondence in every section of the United States, thereby showing our faith and our choice in Mir. Underwood for President.
 These envelope folders should set out the fact that the Hon. Oscar Underwood is the unanimous choice of the demo- cratic party Of Alabama for President and set forth his great ability and quail fications. and these folders being used by the business men would prove and verify the claims set np in the envelope folders in his behalf, and it would show to the citizens of other states that we are m dead earnest about nominating and elect ing our choice for President, the highes; office in the gift of the American people. Probably without doubt no candidate of either party has such unanimous or solid following in his state as Oscar n derwood has in Alabama. This within It. self speaks volumes for him as the man to be nominated and elected President.
