Republicans Nominate Pearson for Governor in Virginia

Pearson, a former House of Delegates member from Lee County, led Horace Henderson and J Randolph Dovel in delegate votes before Norfolk's switch gave Pearson the 252 needed. The party platform backed public schools statewide, opposed a general state sales tax, favored local liquor tax authority, and called for liquor by the drink to be decided by local voters.
