Mrs. Charles Henderson, wife of the
governor of the state, is at the con-
ventlon of the Alabama Federation of
Women's Clubs for the first time in
several years, and is taking quite an
active part in the proceedings.
While I have always been keenly
interested in the club and its progress
during the past few years I have not
been able to take as active part as
| should have liked to, due to my
health said Mrs. Henderson. Il con-
slider it quite an honor to he affii-
lated with any movement that is as
big as the Alabama federation.
1T is very interesting to me to note
that during the past few years the
national federation has doubled it's
membership and L should say that the
Alabama federation has grown almost
as rapidly.
at is very pleasant to be back
at the convention meeting all my old
friends, and to find so many new
faces among those present at the con-
vention.'
Mrs. Henderson talked a little OF

BOYS ON BORDER
WANTED TO CAST
VOTE FOR WILSON
Thinks Governor Henderson Should
Have Made Some Provision for
Alabama Troops Now
in Service

Some of Alabama's soldier boys seem
inclined to blame the governor because
they were not permitted to vote for VIII
son. One of the members of d company
of the Fourth regiment writes The Age
Herald as follows
To the Editor of The Age Herald:
We, the soldier boys of Alabama now
in active service on the Mexican border
are forced to ask you question.
What is the matter with Alabama
governor? Does he take such pleasure in
rearing back before his big desk, smoking
good cigars, that he forgets that the
noble sons of Alabama are away down
here on the Mexican border watching,
with big Jumps in our threats, the boys
Of other states casting their ballot for
the man of their choice for the presi
dency and for our commander-in-c chief.
Can't we have a say SO about who our
next President will be? Have we eve.
been denied the right to vote before?
Again, We ask the question, Where is
the trouble? Does he forget that hs
could name a commission before which
we boys could vote? There was a law
passed to that effect in 1864
We came here in high spirits eager to
fight for our nation. and for President
COMMUNICATIVE chief we all love. And
when we know that we cannot vote for
the man who is to be our next chief we
feel mighty sore.
We feel that our governor is not with
us in this thing, and that he does not
realize what fine bunch of soldiers Ala
bama has sent to this border We've got
the name of being the finest bunch OF
men that has been sent here from any
state. And when we found out we could
not vote, we realized that something was
wrong. We know that Alabama is proud
of us, and we feel that the governor
has no right to deprive us of our citizen
ship.
We are all blue FLOODED Americans, and
love our citizenship privileges. and our
place in the nations affairs, And the
thing that makes us so sore is the seri-
Gus condition which our government now
has to face and that we haven't chance
to vote for the man that, i'll our estima-
ton. is the man for the job
President Wilson has handled the deli
cate affairs of this nation in such way
that he has won the love and admira-
ton of the whole land.
Now by what strange fate have we
been denied the right to vote for the man
we love? Please ask the people of Ala
bama and the governor these questions.
This expresses the sentiments of all the
Alabama boys and most especially those
of Company d, Fourth Alabama infantry.
We all love to read your paper and IL
these questions are answered in it. please
send us copy and we will remit the
subscription price. Very truly yours,
