THE FIELD IS LARGE
NEXT GUBERNAToRIALN NOMINATION
ARE. TENTATIVE CANDIDATES.
Too Early Yet for Formal Announce
tions-some OF the Fnvorlte..
MANY ARE MENTIONED FOR TIN

Although the primary for the nominal
Governor is nearly three years in the
future many are being mentioned" for
the honor. Already half a dozen gentle
Inent have been suggested either as pros
pective candidates or as suitable men for
the place. Among the latest to be added
to the list of probabilities are Hon. A. c.
Braxton. Of Stanton. and Hon. Henry c.
Stuart, of Russell. So far no Tidewarer
man has been suggested, but that section
will almost certainly get IN the game
before the race begins actively.
So far as known not one of the gentle
men mentioned is an avowed candidate.
and nearly all the others are merely
being urged by their friends without their
formal consent to such suggestion. Mr..
Braxton has stated as positively as he
can without having the nomination offer
ed him without a struggle that he is III
no sense a candidate.
AS TO THEIR INTENTIONS.
Mr.. Stuart is not known to have guber-
material aspirations. and Senator Carter
Glass. though frequently mentioned as
man strong with the people and as b
fine man for Governor. has never SO far
as known, intimated an intention to run.
EX-Attorney-General Ayers has also been
frequently mentioned for the governor
ship.
Such an Office Is not going begging. an6
there are few men who would decline to
make the race. if they believed they had
fair prospect of nomination. Governor OF
Virginia is an honor which any man may
we'll feel proud to win. and all the more
so, If it be rendered practically without
solicitation. Certainly, II IS regarded as
a good omen for Virginia under the new
Constitution that so many of it's able men
are being urged for this honorable posi-
ton.
REGARDED AS CANDIDATES.
Hon. J. Taylor Ellyson, of this city, a
former Mayor, former State senator. and
for many years. including this one. the
chairman of the Democratic State Cen
trail Committee. is believed to be a candi-
date for the position. If his party shows
a disposition to bestow 1t. Mr.. Swanson
is generally regarded as a prospective as
formal or public announcement OF such
aspira ton. Lieut. tenant Governor Willard
and Acknowledgement Anderson are re.
garded as tentative candidates. Neithe,
has made any announcement of candi-
Gacy. Indeed. 1t would be premature at
this time.
From the list mentioned 1t may be seer
that there is no dearth Of available me1
when the time comes to choose, and the
impression generally entertained is that
the party can make no mistake among
them.
