Formal Announcement.
Plans Leave.

RALEIGH, Jan. 2. Allen J

North Carolina gubernatorial
race this week, and announced
that he would take a leave of alb
sence without pay from his post
as state revenue commissioner.
Maxwell was the third entry
in the campaign for governor
Other announced candidates are
Lieutenant Governor w. P. Hor-
ton, of Pittsboro and J. Nj
Broughton of Raleigh. All are
Democrats and all supported Gov
Hoey in the primaries of 1886.
At least seven other Democrats
have let it be known that they
are seriously considering enter

w. E. Fenner of Rocky Mount
Lee Gravely of Rocky Mount
Willis Smith of Raleigh, DR.. Cla-
renee E. Poe of Raleigh, D. L.

cy of LUmberton.
If a total of five candidates
file, the Democratic gubernatoria]
field will be the largest in the
states history. The Democratic
nomination is equivalent to cleo
ton.
Maxwell was a candidate for
governor in 1882, and received
10000 votes in the first primary
His Democratic opponents were
J. G. B. Ehringhaus and Richard
Fountain, and Ehringhaus subse-
quently was elected chief execu-
tive.
In a 3,50O-word statement to-
day, Maxwell outlined a plat
form for what he termed a cha
lanced program of progress" in
North Carolina, and asserted that
many planks in his 1882 platform
had been adopted by the state.
Maxwell named no definite
date for his leave from the post
of revenue commissioner, but ex-
planned: when the time comes
to begin a systematic campaign
of the state in behalf of my can
didacy, I will take a leave of alb
sence without pay, and will ask
the Governor to designate an act
ing commissioner for that per-
iod."
