 DAY AND NIGHT MEETING
 J. R. Johnson, a newcomer in the state. but a qualified voter. suggests two meet ings in order to give all classes the op- portunity to hear the speakers in the following letter to The Age Herald; gro the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Though practically a new citizen of your county I am a qualified voter of same. Therefore. l feel that I can, with inpunity. submit these thoughts to you:
 "Gn regard to the candidates for the short-term senatorship. myself. have not had the pleasure of hearing all of these distinguished gentlemen discuss the issues of the campaign.
 'Presuming that am only one of many in this unfortunate position, desire to express my hearty approval of your sug- geston in todays issue of your esteemed paper to the effect that we have a Can ddates' Day in Birmingham, at which time these candidates may be heard by the voters of Jefferson and surrounding counties.
 ITO my mind, however there is one objection to your suggestion, not as to the date. but as to the time of the meeting on that date. In view of the fact that many voters of our district being work ing men. could not attend day meeting would respectfully offer the following suggestions:
 "1 That we have the Candidates Day proposed by you.
 70. That we have two meetings on that day. one in the afternoon and one at night.
 "3. That each of these candidates be given 90 minutes time at each meeting in which to present his claims.
 Taking into consideration the fact that all of these gentlemen arc reported to be excellent speakers. think that bv this method the voting public of our district can get an intelligent understanding ot the views of the various candidates for this high office.
 By all means, let's have the Candi- dates Day. Respectfully. "J. R. JOHNSON, "2Ooo Park Ave, Birmingham, April 27
