The friends of Lieutenant Governor
John Herriott fear that the strongest
opponent to Mr.. Herriott in the race
for governor is likely to prove to be
Col. d. J. Palmer Of the railroad COM
mission. While Mr.. Palmer's candi-
dacy has been spoken of any number
of times there has been no real indica-
ton that he would come out as a cam
didate. The fear on the part of Mr..
Herriott's friends is that IL he did
come out he would by uniting the
standpat element prove formidable
candidate because of his popularity
and his ability to mix with the people.
When this was suggested to Cum
Minis man today he stated that he be-
lieved the proper thing for a primary
election law was to adopt the COVER
nor's idea and require voters to regist
er their first and second choices and
make the selection of a candidate by
the total first and second choice votes.
in other words he was perfectly will
ing to discuss issues but thought there
was little in it talking candidates at
this time.
State Horticulturist Wesley Greene
is gathering information from over the
state on the condition Of the fruit

ready reported as being very badly
damaged.
Governor Cummins has received
word from those in Washington who
are at the head of the movement to
change the date of the public inaug-
uration of the president to later date
stating that a movement will be start
ed at once to enlist others in the mat
ter. The petition which it is proposed
to present to congress already bears
the signature Of practically every gov
ernor in the union and most every
prominent man that one can think Of
The death of Senator Bates of Tennes-
see is referred to in the communica-
ton to the governor as another reason
for the change Of the date. Senator
Bates caught cold at the inaugural
and was taken sick resulting in his
death.
