MIR. sWANsoN's INTENTIONS.
Will Seek the Democratic Nomination
for Governor Of Virginia.

The campaign for the democratic nomi-
ration for governor Of Virginia has been
practically opened by the announcement
today by Representative Swanson Of the
fifth congressional district that he has
definitely and decisively determined to be
candidate for the democratic nomination
for governor" and will wage an active and
vigorous campaign. Mr.. Swanson is in
the city looking after some business in the
departments for constituents. When asked
about the truth Of report that he had
about concluded not to be a candidate
for the nomination. he said:
There is not the slightest foundation
for any such rumor. You can state that
have definitely and decisively determined
to be a candidate for the democratic nomf-
nation for governor. 1 have received as
surances of warm support from every sec
ton of the state. and from many, many
people who did not support me last time.
l believe that a majority Of the people
of the old commonwealth are disposed
to crafty my ambition in this respect /
shall make an active. aggressive campaign,
visiting all portions Of the state and ad-
dressing the people,"
This is the first definite information from
Mr.. Swanson, and will make politics in
teresung in Virginia for the next two
years. The announcement may result in
bringing cut the OLner CdnQlCdLeS whose
names have been mentioned and the I'M
named others who have aspirations in the
same direction. 1t is thought there will
be more candidates than for many years.
Among the prospective aspirants for the
nomination are Lieutenant Governor Jo-
seph E. Willard Gen. Rufus A. Ayers, for
mer attorney general of the state; State
Senator Barksdale, State Chairman Ely
son of the state democratic committee and
Col. William A. Anderson, present attorney
Sc neral of Virginia.
The fight Will undoubtedly be a warm
one, even II not all of these men enter
the field. Mr.. Swanson is one of the most
popular men in Congress from Virginia,
both with his colleagues and with the
people OF the state.
Lieutenant Governor Willard has practi-
cally begun the fight for the nomination.
State Chairman Ellyson has been in charge
Of hard campaigns in Virginia for many
years and has host of friends who will
back his aspirations. Attorney General An
derson Is a strong man. and SO are the
other men whose names have been men,
tened. The race may also become more
or less complicated with the race for SEN
ator to succeed Senator Martin. Represent
alive Swanson, who has always been
friendly to Senator Martin, and who has
been charged with being affiliated with him
in many ways. Is recently said to have
broken with the Junior senator from the
state. Lieutenant Governor Willard and
Gov Montague are charged with having
pooled their interests. the former to be
come governor and the latter United States
senator to succeed MI. Martin.

1ve years. was arrested at the White House
this forenoon and taken to the first pre-
cinct police station and held as an alleged
fugitive from st. Elizabeth's Hospital for
the Insane. 1t was learned at the hospital
that such a name appeared on the record
and that an attendant would be sent for

House he asked that he be permitted to
see the President, and when told that his
request could not be granted he asked if he
would be permitted to interview a member
OF the cabinet. He was not noisy or trou-
blesome and went to the police station
without causing any trouble.
