Hopes Miller Won’t Oppose Howell in Virginia Gubernatorial Bid
Former Lt. Gov. Henry Howell says he hopes Atty. Gen. Andrew P Miller will not oppose him for the Democratic nomination. Howell notes a Howell Miller clash would drain energy from the general election while suggesting cross-support between the two. Howell announced his third gubernatorial bid in Southwest Virginia as Miller weighs whether to run in 1977 or challenge Sen. William L. Scott in 1978.
