Howell Pegging Campaign To Planks of 1969 Race
State Sen. Henry E. Howell Jr. of Norfolk, seeking lieutenant governor as an independent, will base his campaign on the same planks as his 1969 gubernatorial bid. He backs tax cuts on food and nonprescription drugs and collective bargaining for teachers, while courting his populist “Keep the Big Boys Honest” theme. He views the lieutenant governor post as a stepping stone to 1974 and predicts a possible race against Gov. Mills Godwin Jr. and praises Gov. Linwood Holton for uniting the state by merit-based appointments.
