WHAT KOLB WILL DO.
His Plans Are Explained by an
Adviser.
INTENDS TO CAUSE CONTESTS.
BY These Means He Expects Secure the
Aid of q Republican Congress-A Bill
Framed For Hi< Arrest-His Message
Sent to the Legislature.

MONTGOMERY. Ala, Dec. 5.-J. G..
Manning, member of the legislature.
Dne of the most prominent POpulists In
the state. and one of Kolb's advisers, has
given ont portion of kolb's pro-
gramme. Manning said:
'holb will issue certificates of cleo
ton as governor de jure to Goodwin
Howard, the two Aldrlches and Robin
son, as congressman from this state.
Howard will also have one from Oates.
His seat Is disputed. The programme
Is To have the Republican house first
decline TO seat either set of representa-
tives, on the ground that both sides are
provided with credentials signed by a
governor of Alabama. The only way
that either can be seated then Is by
means of a resolution. 1t Is proposed
that Howard shall offer a resolution ~
seat the eanti-Democratfr
rvvo of who are Repu DIlcdns anu
three Populists, and a Republican house
Is expected to seat them pending the
termination of the contest
This would make the regularly
elected congressman the contestants
and throw the burden of proof upon the
Democratic side. This plan, 1t is fig
ured, would afford temporary indOrse-
ment of kOlb as governor, and would be
d source of trouble to the Oates admin
istration. a petition will then be cir
Culated in every part of the state, call
ing upon the legislature for special act
to restore in Alabama a Republican
form of government. Reese Will be also
be given a certificate of election by kolb
as United States senator and viii con-
test with Morgan.
knights bill to punish political usur
pers and their abettOrs, however, will
be rushed through the general assembly
and will become law by Friday, it Ii
estimated, and its enforcement will call
for the Imprisonment of all the parties
to the plan.
KOlD's message, which he signs as
governor, was transmitted t. the legls-
lature today. The message is also ad
dressed to the people of Alabama, and
Is long and in many respects revolu
tIonary document, as it recommends
