ments. He Is stopping at the Raleigh,
and when seen by The Times-Dispatch
correspondent and asked what truth
there was in the rumor that he Iuld
not be candidate for gubernatorial
honors. he replied very positively that
there was absolutely no truth in 1t. and
al the request OF the correspondent wrote
the following statement:
There Is not the slightest foundation
for any such rumor. You can state that
i have definitely and decisively deter
mined to be candidate for the DEM
ocratic nomination for Governor. j have
received assurances OF warm support
from every section OF the State, and
from many, many people who did not
support me last time. ] believe ma
jorty Of the people of Virginia are dis
posed to crafty my ambition In this re-
spect / shall make an active and az.
gressive campaign, Visiting all portions
Of the State, meeting and addressing the
people"
From the drift Of Mr.. swanson's con-
versation with The Times Dispatch cor.
respondent 1t may be depended on that
he will make an exceedingly lively cam
paign. He says he will stump the entire
State and meet his opponents whenever
they want a meeting
