One Hundred Candidates Seeking
81 Covernorships In Election

Washington, Oct. 13 -(AP)--
An even 100 candidates are run
ming for the 80 governorships at
stake in the November 2 cleo
tions.
At least four of the contests
are attracting more than state
wide interest.
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and
Michigan all now have Repub.
lican governors. But the Demo
Gratis say they have a good
chance in the first three and
mark Michigan as a possible. u
Republicans say they will hold
all four, but concede some are
close races.
Republicans and Democrats
now divide the nations COVER
norships "a and "a. In all, 80
states are choosing governors
this year, but Maine already has
held its state election. Frederick
G. Payne, a Republican, won on
September 13.
The SO offices to be filled are
now held by 10 Republicans and
IA Democrats. Five Republican
and ten Democratic governors
hold over this year.
The size of the. presidential
m aioritieS in the vorio,,c ctnfas
may determine most gubernator-
ial winners. But this is not hec-
essarily so in states where To-
cal issues and personalities pre-.
dominate.
Only in Georgia have the Re.
publicans refrained from putting
up a candidate. There, Herman
Talmadge, Democrat white sup.
