Edge May Go to Daniel in Messy 3-Way Contest
In the Virginia 4th District race less than two weeks from election day incumbent Robert W. Daniel Jr. leads a three way contest with independent Curtis W. Harris and Democrat Lester E. Schlitz. Harris draws black church support and attention while Schlitz mobilizes unions and voters in the southern district. Both challengers court urban and conservative blocs as Daniel defends his conservative base and armed services ties.
