Money for Kolb.

Money! for Kolb.
An effort is being made in New England
to raise money to assist the Kolbites in
Alabama. The Home Market Club-a
club composed of republicans-ha taken
hold of the matter. The Home Market
Club is in Boston, and one of its shining
lights is Senator Hoar The senator
processes TO believe that the Kolb cam
paign offers an excellent chance to break
the solid south, Nothing would give him
so much JOY as to see a break in the solid
south. He has talked of this and
dreamed of it until DC really believes the
salvation of the country depends upon
knocking the solid south to pieces.
This Home Market Club has sent a cir
cular to leading republican politicians in
many New England towns asking for con
tributions About $40 is asked from each
town. In the circular il is alleged that
Kolb is a Jeaersonian democrat, who
stands for free ballot and a fair count
and protection to American industries.
In other words it is given out that Mr..
Kolb is just about as good a republican as
the New England republicans care for at
this time. He is willing 10 say that there
is not free ballot and fair count in the
south and, therefore, there ought to be a
force bill, and he is in favor Of as high
protection as the republicans desire
1t is thought that kolb is o popuist by
the populist party in Alabama, and he
| calls himself a democrat. The Indications
are that he is willing to be called any
{ nv bae ho !.
tional support in his campaign for COVER
nor.
The Home Market Club circular saws
| Kolb was elected governor in 1892 by a
majority of 5000 and was counted out
That is what Kolb claims, but he has
never supported that claim by evidence
! that would satisfy any unbiased mind In
view of the fact that his friends had
control of the ballot boxes in a majority
| of the counties, fair inference is that his
claim has no foundation whatever.
! The $1,000 which the Home Market
! Club purposes raising will not go a very
long way towards helping Kolb to get
! votes. He has been beaten twice for rov-
! ernor, and it is a safe prediction that he
I will be beaten again. The reason he
! will never be governor of Alabama is
that the majority of the people don't
want him. He will understand that
eventually, though it does seem to take
him good while to comprehend it.
