Des Moines Iowa, Jan. 13.-Lieutenant Gov
ernor John Herriott and State Auditor B. F.
Carroll will be candidates for governor. to sue
coed Governor Cum1nins.
Mr.. Herriott to party OF friends at the
Grant club last evening, said that he is
candidate, and that his formal announcement
will soon be made. He resides at Stuart, in the
ninth congressional district. He is a stand
patter, but hopes. like Editor Perkins of Sioux
City, to be a compromise candidate. Mr.. Car
roll resided at Bloomfield, Davis county, in the
first congressional district, when elected audi
tor. He now lives in new home recently
purchased near the statehouse at Des Moines.
He has said to several legislators that he will
be candidate for governor If he can command
sufficient support to place him In the attitude
of compromise candidate. y
Senator Warren Garst of Carroll refuses to
talk on the governorship, and Speaker G. w.
leads to the belief that both gentlemen are
waiting for their personal friend, the governor,
to state positively whether he is a candidate
for third term. 80 49,
