ern Virginia campaigning for
Virginia'S top political offices.
They campaigned in the same
room for an entire evening
Friday night among some TOO
Democrats at the Fairfax Coun-
ty Democratic Party'S Jeffer-
Son-JackSon Day Dinner.
Everyone was courtly. Hardly
an icy look was evident.
The TOO Democrats were as
polite as their guests. During
the introduction of speakers,
when it was evident that some
candidates were getting more
applause than others, every
one looked the other way.
AlbertiS Harrison, the top
man on the ticket generally
conceded to have the Byrd
organizations support, moved
smoothly through the crowd
during the evening, suave and
urban and confident, recalling
everyone'S first name.
His opponent, Lieut.. Gov. A.
E. S. Stephens, greeted old
friends and supporters with a
booming voice, promising to
return to northern Virginia be-
fore the campaign was out.
Senator Armistead L. Boothe
OF Alexandria, the only candi-
date operating on home
ground who is running for
lieutenant governor on the
Stephen ticket used his old
Virginia charm and put his
arm around friends as he spoke
while his opposition, Suffolk's
Senator Mills Goodwin told
friends he was in enemy
country but making the best of
things.
T. Munford Boyd, the blind
law professor who is running
on the Stephens ticket for at
torney general, recalled people
he had taught 20 years before
and was told he would GER
tainly run ahead Of the ticket
because every lawyer in Vir-
ginia studied under him.
His opponent, Robert Y. But
ton, State senator from Cul-
peper, mixed cordially but
quietly among the crowd.
After dinner the candidates
delivered brief addresses in
faultless Virginia dialect and
assured the 700 Democrats that
they were lifelong Democrats
and always had been.
The tone of the speeches
during the evening was gener-
ally light except for one mo-
ment when Senator Boothe
said he was in favor of public
education.
He did so with such empha-
sis that Senator Goodwin ap-
parently took it to mean that
pefhapS he was not in favor of
public education. He said he
was, however. emphasizing that
his wife had been a school
teacher, his three sisters we're
teachers and that he was the
only candidate with a child in
public school.
Mr.. Harrison, evidently feel
ing that things were getting a
little tense. suggested a return
to lighter things and then told
a joke he read in Playboy Mag
azine. He emphasized that he
mentioned the publication be-
cause "it identifies me with the
