J'o Seek Re-Election
Rep. William M. Appleton announced that he has paid the filing fee and submitted the Candidate’s Loyalty Oath, required of .write-in cahdidates, which assures hirti a place on the baUbt jfor the upcoming November E-lection. Appleton won the nomination of the Constitutional Party, trough write-ins.
Appleton .said, “My decision to seek re-iele'ction comes as a re-siilt of the urging of a great number of people throughout the legislative district, people who have ' isupported me since my first cam-j^ign- in 1964 and others who have followed my record iri-THar-risb.tirg and want me to continue in office.’' ■■
, “A major consideration, jn ^e decision, was^the fact that,the acceptance of 'the nomination and. ballot position on the Constition-il Ticket, does not in any way <ihange my political views or my party affiliation. I will continue as a Rfepublican - working for the election of certain other republican candidates as well as for my. re-election.”
“More than’anything else, the liumber of people who normally do not get involved in electito-feering but have expressed concern about the republican pri-paary results and theff desire to w^ork for an Appleton Victory in November, ■ convinced me that the makings of a hafd-wdrking campaign committee are at hand.”
