Having done this they will go formally to the state leg islature, which is now in session in Montgomery, and make a formal pro test against the inauguration of Col nel Dates anil ask that an investiga tion be authorized by that body. It is necessary to make the protest in this way because there is no contest law in the state —a condition which does not exist in any other state in the union. Our people in Alabama will make vig orous protest in the regular way and rely on our people in the legisla ture to take up the question and force an investigation. We have forty-four members of that body and the Democrats have eighty-nine. If wo could get twenty Democrats to help us it would force an investiga tion and put Mr. Kolb in the guber natorial chair. We will abide by the Investigating committee's decision.no matter what it may be, just so we have an opportunity to bring persons and show before the country the evi dences of fraud which wo assert was practiced at the last election." “Will there be any trouble in Mont gomery as a result of the events there to-morrow?” “There may ue some trouble, but it will not be of ourseoking.
