WASHINGTON, January 12.--There Is
excellent authority for the statement
that Representative Carter Glass, OF the
Sixth District, will announce his candi-
dacy in a few days for the Democratic
nomination TO the goyernorship to sue
ceed Mr. Swanson. 1t is further stated
that the announcement of the candidacy
of Mr.. Glass will not be made until after
the inauguration OF Governor Swanson.
Probably some time this spring formal
announcement of Mr. Glass's candidacy
or,Aat least. some expression from him
indicating his unequiyocal intention or
trying for the nomination will be made.
The announced candidates for the nomi-
nation three years hence are Judge VIII
liam Hodges Mann. who made an unsuc-
cessful race for the nomination last
year, and Hon. Harry st. George Tucker
who is now in Europe, as president OF the
jamestown Exposition Company. interest
ing foreign governments in the tercen-
tenary celebration. 1t Ia assumed that
Mr.. Willard. who was also an unsuccess-
ful candidate tho last time. will run again
in 1863. bur he has not, SO far ais known,
indicated his purpose to do SO.
Bee in Other Caps.
It is believed that Hon. Henry G. Stuart
will be Il candidate. Mr.. Stuart has not
said he would make contest for the
nomination, but his friends have frequent
~ mentioned his name in connection with
the Office of chief executive of the State.
and the probabilities are thought TO favor
his running.
: There was talk OF the candidacy OF
Representative Flood. OF the Tenth Dis
trtct. but Mr.. Flood has not encouraged
such gossip, and has always said he
was not candidate and did not know
that he would ever be one. At the Same
time. he said, II was not possible for
hiEa to assert with positiveness that he
would not aspire to the office four years
hence.
A friend of Representative Glass said
to-day he believed Mr.. Flood would sup
port the latter for the nomination
Mr.. Glass would not discuss the prob
ability of his becoming candidate Ho
has said more than once that he would
like to be Governor OF Virginia. but he
has not announced that he would enter
contest for the Democratic nomina-
ton to the high office But 1t is be-
lieved he will make such announcement
in the course of few weeks or months.
The best of authority on which to base
such statement would be that of
Mr. Glass himself My authority Is ex-
cellent. though 1t cannot be said to be
the best.
