The Comet notes in Kentucky race and senatorial hints

The Comet surveys politics and potential candidates in Kentucky and Tennessee. It mentions Snodgrass possibly entering the U S Senate race, Dewey’s home, Goebel’s influence, and reactions to party leadership. Also references to McMillin Carmack, Reed rules, and the impending three way senatorial contest. The piece blends commentary on reform, imperialism, and party dynamics with local campaign chatter.

Judge Snodgrass Weighs Senate Candidacy Rumors

The Commercial Appeal notes Judge Snodgrass has only tentatively considered a bid for the U S Senate. He insists he has the right to run like any citizen, but likely would not contest a crowded field. Observers doubt he could win under current splits between Carmack and McMillin, and any support might be fleeting.

Capt T Jobe of the Sixth U S volunteers escaped last night from the county jail in Columbus Ohio. The guard found his cell door unlocked at 7 this morning after he sawn through bars and lowered himself to the alley. Jobe, jailed on a charge of using war department penalty envelopes, had trusted access and many callers aided the escape. Local youths are under suspicion. He was to have a U S court hearing this month.
