Box 39, Folder 1
Scope and content:

Correspondence and literature pertaining to the State Democratic Convention. Correspondence with and clippings on Democratic candidates for state office; correspondence with and about candidates who wish to enter the primaries. Correspondence with Democratic State Central Committee and with prominent state Democrats concerning state Party activities and issues. Programs for Jefferson-Jackson Day Dinners in Richmond. Information on Virginia election laws, and balloting and voting processes.
