A total of 3,271 write-in votes were cast by Democrat~ in the 79th Assembly District, where Hom is the Republican in- cumbent seeking re-election. Charle· Sexton.

The 3.~71 total represents 14.6 per cen1 of the Di,moc:ratic \ote 111 the district ''! am elated with the result," Hom :oaid in an interview in nis lcgilative office on the sixth floor of !hi' Capitol.

Ho could not ha ·e hi nam 1 >rinted on the Di!mocratic ballot But he 11 as entitled to solicit write-in votes from Democrats. About t1rn 11ccks before the election, Hom launc 1ed an tensive write-111 campaign which included posting billboards and 6ending letters to all Democratic votets, with a pencil enclosed to be used in the voting booth to write Hom·s name on ti Democratic ballot. Chacon Delighted With Victory Th outcome was that Hom got 12,370 votes running unop- posed in the Republican primary election and about 3,000 votes in tlie Democratic primary for a total nf more than 15,000 votes. If Hom had gotten the most votes/write-ins) 'n the Democrat- ic primary, he would haYe gone on the Nov. 3 ballot as both the Republican and Democratic nominee The onl) avenue open to the Democrat< !hen would have be to rv1, a wri' In candidate to oppo,;e him. Peter R. Chacon. a public school adm1nr trator. won the Democratic nomination to oppose Hom in the ove 1 11b~, elec tion, defeating three other Democratic randidales Marie Wid- man, George D Koulaxes and Mary Farra.

"He \Va able to buy a lot of votes," Chacon said, referring Hom's advertising expenditures. "I suspect it cost him to per vote." · Hom said he spent less than $10,000 in the primary campaign. Hom said he will have to tend to his legislative duties until the Legislature adjourns, which he thinks will not be until late August. Until then, he will not be able to campaign fulltime. Chaco,r. plans to take a leave from his job as an administrator of compensatory education programs for the San Diego school district. He will take the leave and campaign fulltime in Sep- t.ember and October Will l'ick Campaign Chairman Hom expects to spend $40,000 to $50,000 in the campaign. Chacon hopes to raise and spend $25,000. Hom has not chosen a campaign chairman. His chairman i,r. 1968 was Dr. Frank Lowe. Cha~?n's campaign ~hairman is Fit Gjjh\f& Oddo professor . of~olihcal sc1em;ir.

"My name has been before the public since 1962," Hom said. He ran for the Assembly in 1962, was elected to tlle City Council in 1963, becoming the city's first Chinese-American to win elective office, and was re-elected to the council in 1967 Hom defeated former Assemblyman F. James Bear. D-San Diego, to win his Assembly seat iq 1968. His victory surprised many observers, including some of Hom's strongest backers. This year's campaign will be as tough, perhaps even tougher, than 1968, Hom believes. Regards Electorate as Unhappy Chacon thinks he can win. "I can work harder," he says. "Many voters are unhappy and d,isenchanted with the kind of representation the district has been getting, especially Demo- crats." Hom says 95 per cent of tll.P. votes in the Legislature are nonpartisan. Chacon says Horii has voted his party instead ·or the needs of the district. State lea~ers of both parties will be watching the campaign close(y. It 1s regarded as a key district which could go either way m the fight for conlro of the Legislature next year. The Assembly is now 40-39 Republican with onf' vacancy

Bishop Maher, in his statement, said, "In these days, when man must be sure of the reliability of his sources of information so that he may not be confused by the conflicting voices requesting, even demanding a hearing, the Catholic Press is a vital necessity. "It is forever reminding readers that the whole story includes more than the secular, more than the natural and human. It includes the divine. It provides readers with access to a culture of quality as well as a taste for the authentic values of brotherhood, peace, justice and general welfare." government of theFederation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland.
