Democrats in Virginia
Hopeful Though Split

RICHMOND, Va, Nov. 10 (P)
Virginia politicians. assessing
damage after President Eisen-
hower's heavy win in Tuesday
voting, say there is little chance
Of permanent ruin to the State
Democratic machine.
Most Of them not only reject
the idea the Presidents sweep
has thrown monkey wrench
into the vitals of the machinery
but are looking forward to a
gubernatorial victory next yet:
that will trample the Republic
cans to worse defeat than the
1858 election.
There is one "if"-and a right
large one - to this reasoning
That is If the Democratic organ
ization can achieve more har-
mony within its ranks than
many, privately, think win be
possible.
To do this would call for the
uniting of organization forces
behind one candidate, to avoid
the bitter wounds and divisive
splits primary race among sew
eral organization rivals might
infiict on the party.
q At this time there are a half
dozen or more organization men
who would be glad to offer
themselves for the role Of uni
flying candidates. Just how
many of them would agree to be
unified behind somebody else
is the major unsettled question
Whatever diScord the primary
may bring, most Democrats
think they can contain the Re-
publican opposition-even State
Senator Ted Dalton of Radford
the candidate who gave them q
