Battle vows Virginia victory through state party control
In continued remarks Battle argues Democrats align with national leaders more than Republicans, aiming for a Virginia hosted campaign. He anticipates GOP aid from Holton and perhaps Nixon, while stressing unity without promises. He praises a Sept. 4 Richmond unity meeting, plans talks with labor leaders, and invites Negro leaders to participate. He rejects Howell supporters backing Holton to topple Byrd machinery as absurd. Time will tell if Howell campaigns.
