MAY RUN
FOR NEW BOARD
POPULAR STATE SENATOR MEN
TONED FOR CITY ADMINS
TRATIvE OFFICE.

The latest city political gossip Is to
the effect that State Senator Elben G.
Folkes will stand for the new Ad-
ministrative Board. Senator Folkes
is not quite ready 10 make a definite
announcement, but il is a fact that he
has the matter under consideration
The suggestion that he enter the arena
was put to him several nights ago at
an Elks' jollification and It may be
stated that the senator was not shock
ed at the idea.
He has represented Richmond in
the upper branch OF the State legisla-
tive body for the last dozen years or
more. X is believed by his friends
and admirers that he Is first class ma
terial for the board.
Mr.. Fo,kes went to the State Sem
ate as the special candidate and friend
of the working man and he could
doubtless muster some strength from
that class of voter. although John
Hirsehberg, of Jefferson ward, is un-
derstood to be official candidate OF
the labor unions.
