EIGHT GOVERNORS OF ALABAMA
 1S74-1901
No. 1O9-The Split Party of 1892 Thomas G. Jones, Governor

devoted to a joint canvass of Kolb s
 native county, Barbour, where his legal residence still remained.
 It was, common talk that the result of the Barbour primary would deter
 mine the action of the state conven- tion. The primary in that period did not act directly upon the candidate for governor, however. The beat pri- mary elected delegates to county party convention. The county conven-
 tion. in turn. chose delegates to the
 state convention, which finally nomin- ated the party candidate to go before the polls at the ensuing general elec- ton. Barbour county was entitled to send Y delegates to the state conven- tion of the democratic and conservative
 party for 1892. The matter at issue was the rivalry of Kolb and Governor Jones for representatives in the coun- ty convention.
 l The joint debate was heard from pre- cinet to precinct in this powerful and presumptively pivotal county. Jones carried the county. He defeat ed Kolb in the Eufaula beat, where Kolb was born and reared. and where he attended in person on this occa-
 sion. Kolb protested against the re-
 suit of the primaries as announced of ficially.
 The issue, he said. was within the party. for party determinations. Negroes had been forced into the electorate by action from without the state. The demo- cratic party in Alabama had for its prime purpose relief of the state from ar ab- normal negro electorate. Nevertheless. in the late Barbour county primaries beats sent up to the county convention large representations based on negro

population, alleged to be negro demo-
 crats Negroes were not democrats, but
 had proven themselves ~o be irreclaim-
 able republicans and intolerable fees to
 the whites occupying the land in com mon. The Baldwin county primaries were made invalid to the intent of thS party, when beats with 11 times or even 20 times in some instances, the negro popuat ton that they continent of whites. went into the county convention to de- termine an issue united by party rule to white men on a basis of negro demo- cratic strength.
 The Barbour convention assembled ani attempted to deliberate in great ,ulmoil. from the beats withdrew The remain
 der of the convention appointed Jones delegation to the state convention. Two years before in 190. Henry n. Clayton, Jr., had been the floor leader of Kolb in the state conventions. In 1892, he was selected by the county convention to lead the Jones delegation to the state conven-
 tion.
 General disturbance prevailed in the county conventions. In Perry, nine were sent to the state convention to vote for
 Jones, and six for Kolb. In the adjoin ing black belt county, Hale, the k clb
 men chiefly from the northern or white beats withdrew. charging undue ir- fiuence to the negro beats. In the ex. treme south the Dale convention, each
 side went to itself''
 The proceedings preliminary to the state convention in the counties gener- ally were marked with a degree of par tisan conflict. which prevented a dis rupted state convention.

MARTIN AND RIDDLE WILL BE IN RUN-0FF Former Lacks 6692 Votes of Having Majority for At
 tOrney General

Montgomery, April 14.-(Special )-Wil- liam l.. Martin lacks 6692 votes of hav- ing a majority in the race for attorney general. Official returns from practically every county in Alabama show that MT Martin has Q big lead over his three opponents. Out of a total of 12S, 2s6 votes MT. Martin has received 57,151 or s1s,10s more than his nearest opponent, D. R. Riddle. The vote stands: Martin 57,l51 Riddle 39,043, Pegram 16,S74, and Green 16,71S.
 Complete returns from ali the state will probably give MT. Martin Il much higher percentage, though it is doubtful if they will give him a majority.
 Indications are that the run-off will be between Mir. Martin and Mir. Riddle, with every probability that the former will win by an overwhelming majority.
