Varied Reaction
Here in Charlottesville, the reaction was
varied. Members of the Kappa Sigma fraternity,
carrying pins for each candidate, left the Battle
headquarters at a motel before 10 p.m. to
attend the Holton cocktail party at Alumni
Hall, sporting the green Republican pins.
Charlottesville's Republicans, able to sip the
first victory bourbon in a Byrd-dominated era,
were jubilant at their Alumni Hall headquarters.
A large crowd of Young Republicans, Young
Americans for Freedom and city Republicans
had moved in for a celebration party.
By 9:30 the group had declared victory over
a local radio station, singing the "Good Old
Song" on the station for good measure. Rick
Brownfield, the club's executive secretary,
headed for Richmond to attend the state-wide
party for Governor-elect Holton.
Mr. Brownfield, who managed the local YR
efforts in three precincts, had provided 80
workers on Election Day to "work within the
structure of the local Republican Party."
