When Byrd ran\n         for Governor of Virginia in 1925 against G. Walter Mapp of\n         Accomack County, Dodson served as his campaign director in\n         Norfolk.

The correspondence between Byrd and Dodson\n         continued while Byrd was Governor, and later United States\n         Senator.

There is a large amount of correspondence with\n         William E. Carson, who served as chairman, as well as other\n         members of the Commission. Topics covered include the use of\n         Virginia's scenic and historic assets to attract tourists and\n         industry, and plans to foster recreational areas, such as the\n         creation of the Shenandoah National Park. There is a large\n         amount of documentation concerning the park's pledge campaign,\n         and efforts to reduce the park's size.

When Byrd ran\n         for Governor of Virginia in 1925 against G. Walter Mapp of\n         Accomack County, Dodson served as his campaign director in\n         Norfolk. The correspondence in this portion of the collection\n         documents Byrd's stance on campaign issues such as liquor law\n         enforcement, voter registration procedures, revisions of the\n         fee system, tax equalization, road building and the gas tax,\n         and Byrd's votes on the 1916 Vice Bill and Bible Bill while\n         serving in the Virginia General Assembly, as well as machine\n         politics, and economy, efficiency, and simplicity in state\n         government. The correspondence between Byrd and Dodson\n         continued while Byrd was Governor, and later United States\n         Senator.

Topics covered include the use of\n         Virginia's scenic and historic assets to attract tourists and\n         industry, and plans to foster recreational areas, such as the\n         creation of the Shenandoah National Park. There is a large\n         amount of documentation concerning the park's pledge campaign,\n         and efforts to reduce the park's size.
