quietly yesterday, and the heaviest vote
for years was pOllcd. A large part Of the
negro population varied, and their vote
was about equally divided between Jones
and K0lb. Governor Jones and the reg
ular democratic tickets are elected by not
less than 10000 majority. His majority,
he believes, may reach $1,000. In Mobile
it is l 900; in Montgomery 1900; in Selma
100; in Admission 1000. These are the
largest cities in the state. But many
country precincts and the block belt Sec
ton, where there is such a large negro
population and where Kolb expects to
sweep things, have rolled up comfortable
majoriLies for Jones. The state demo
Gratis also elect a majority of the legisla-
ture. Only one county is yet known to
have gone for Kolb and it is a republican
stronghold.
