The Campaign 1962 series contains the records of Chafee’s first campaign for governor of Rhode Island, up to and including inaugural plans.\u00a0 It includes correspondence–letters about the campaign and thank you letters for contribution and help, correspondence from support groups for Chafee, advertising, newspaper clippings, lists of Republican officials, lists of potential voters, information about the Republican platform and Chafee’s opponent, news releases, interview questions and transcripts, and other information from the campaign. Campaign material for 1962 may also be found in Campaign Aides’ Files. Arthur Levin wrote many of Chafee’s News Releases during 1962 and these may be found in\u00a0Campaign Aides’ Files: Levin.<\/a>\u00a0The financial side of the campaign was directed by Chafee’s uncle, Richmond Viall; see\u00a0Campaign Aides’ Files: Viall<\/a>, for receipts and financial information related to campaign fund raising.\u00a0For Speeches and Addresses given by Chafee during this period, see\u00a0Speeches\/Addresses.<\/a><\/p>\n

Chafee officially declared his candidacy for governor of Rhode Island in February 1962 and personally sought the vote of each delegate to the Rhode Island Republican State Convention. The Convention was closely won by Chafee, but his opponent, Louis Jackvony would not accept the Republican Party endorsement and ran in the September primary. Chafee won the Republican primary by over 7,000 votes. When Election Day was over on November 6, 1962, Chafee was ahead by only 66 votes. When the Board of Elections finished counting absentee ballots, they declared Chafee the winner by 398 votes. The Stenographic Record of the Election is included in this series, along with information on absentees ballots and voters. Of interest is the Memorandum on the Campaign Plan, the minutes from the “Friend of Chafee” Club which discussed the campaign as it unfolded, and other strategic information. The Chafee campaign was aware that the vote would be close and the campaign was closely monitored.<\/p>\n
