HON. AIlIliRITT T. COOKE

| Cooke. Of Norfolk, will be put llD for
Lieutennnt-Govcrnor. lie is said to be
willing to accept that Office and is a very
! popular man. lie has had legislative
experience and would fill the place with
credit to himself ana honor to the State
! 1t is possible, however. that some of
| the candidates FOR third pace residing III
Eastern Virginia Will develop so much
Strength as to make 1t necessary to take
| the Lleutcnant-Ciovcrnorsh from an
other section.
Friends Of the constitutional conven-a
| ton are daily becoming more hopeful
| that the proposition will receive favora-
! bic consideration at The hands OF the

much visor. and this is having effect.
