Long prominent in Democratic circles, Edwards was a i a of the Democratic State Central Committee for a number of years and resigned to run Governor in the Democratic primary won bv Gov. Rattle. Da (ton and the GOP candidate or i a Governor, Stephen Timberlake, of Staunt.on, stopped in Harrison burg yesterday to chat with Republican'leaders, and Dalton said there was a remarkable interest in Virginia politics this year on the part of the aver age voter. The GOP nominee said he had been getting between 40 and 60 letters a day from men and women till over the state commenting on his stand on of the major s.sues of the campaign. Stanley said last night at Norfolk there always has been, a two-party system in Virginia, but the reason there are more people in one party is that the Democrats have given Virginia good government at lowest cost.

The Democratic nominee told a 2nd District rally of about 300 persons the party will wage an "active and progressive campaign and will meet all of the issues." Stephens said he does not know his opponent, Timberlake, but "up in the Valley he is known as Johnny come-latel3'." Timberlake was "once a Democrat and is now a Republican who has said that he didn't like the Democratic Party because too few ran for office," Stephens declared. Besides taking a slight slap at his opponent, Walter E. Hoffman of Norfolk, Almond blamed last fall's Eisenhower victory in Virginia on the fact that "a strong majority of the people 'who expressed their convictions punished the national, (Democratic) party in power." The Republican platform calling for an unrestricted state constitutional convention was attacked by Almond, who said it would cost about 2 million dollars when the constitution can be changed bj amendments passed by two sessions of the General Assembly. De clarcd the attorney general: "They want to tear up the state constitution and throw it out of the window because it hasn't been changed in 51 years.
