Warner was not expected to have much trouble with that, and he did not. The popular senior senator from Virginia was warmly greeted by the delegates attending a Friday night banquet at the Colisseum and by the individual district caucuses he visited Saturday morning.
Naturally our own district, the Lucky Seven, which includes Fauquier County, the Senator’s home, received him with particular pleasure, but it was evident at all times that the entire convention was solidly behind him.
For the information of all who are interested in omens, be it known that Friday night the heavens opened and poured rain on the GOP’s party goers, but Mi Saturday, when we buckled down and nominated John Warner to stay on in his current position, the sun came out and stayed out, and spring put on her prettiest airs in Hampton.
Other Republican party officials had been elected during the Saturday session with little undue conflict.
