Allegations

Mr. Mannix said that if the allegations
against the Jefferson Party and Scott Stephens
were true, then "the JP had violated the spirit
and the laws of the election." Mrs. Edgar,
according to Mr. Mannix, was not aware of the
political nature of the letters. He said that there
was "no way" that Mr. Stevens could have
thought that such mailing was permissible.

Mr. Mannix said further that if the
allegations were found to be true that "Steve
Edwards (the JP campaign manager) and Scott
Stephens should apologize to the Student
Council and the Virginia Progressive Party."
