Hoisington Nominated By GOP for Justice Vacancy
Bennington Town Republican Committee recommended William E. Hoisington to fill the vacancy on the Board of Justices of the Peace after L. Gordon Moore's death. Chairman J Duncan Campbell noted Hoisington’s near-miss in the 1966 election and that the executive committee approved the appointment. Some members questioned a realtor’s suitability, while Sen Salvatore Santarcangelo argued occupation should not matter and urged naming the next in line. Campbell said the decision would be sent to Gov. Hoff for final appointment.
