Earl Douglas Applegate Jr. (March 27, 1928 – August 7, 2021) was an American politician who served in the United States House of Representatives from Ohio's 18th congressional district from 1977 to 1995, as a member of the Democratic Party. Prior to his tenure in the United States House of Representatives he served in the Ohio House of Representatives from 1961 to 1968, and in the Ohio Senate from 1969 to 1974.

Early life and education[]

Earl Douglas Applegate Jr. was born in Steubenville, Ohio, on March 27, 1928, to Earl Applegate Sr., who served in the Ohio House of Representatives, Ohio Senate, and as mayor of Steubenville. He graduated from Steubenville High School in 1947, and became a licensed real estate broker in 1956. Applegate married Betty, with whom he had two children.[1][2]

Career[]

Ohio legislature[]

Elections[]

Applegate and Michael Blischak were given the Democratic nomination to run for seats in the Ohio House of Representatives in the 1960 election against Republican nominees Ed Griffith and William G. Powell.[3] Both Applegate and Bischak won in the general election.[4]

On January 19, 1962, Applegate announced that he would run for reelection and as the multi-member district was eliminated he ran in the Democratic primary against Blischak.[5] He defeated Blischak in the primary and won reelection against Republican nominee Edward V. Miller in the general election.[6][7] He won reelection in 1964 and 1966.[8][9][10]

Applegate announced on January 29, 1968, that he would seek the Democratic nomination for a seat in the Ohio Senate from the 30th district. He defeated former Senator Danny D. Johnson, former Representative Joseph Loha, and former Representative Stuart Henderson in the Democratic primary.[11][12] He defeated incumbent Republican Senator John R. Longsworth in the general election, being the only person to defeat an incumbent senator in the 1968 election, after spending $2,585.53 during the campaign.[13][14][15]

Following the 1972 reapportionment of districts Applegate's 30th district was redrawn to include Republican Senator Kenneth F. Berry, who was originally from the 19th district.[16] Berry won renomination in the Republican primary against William A. Wallace while Applegate faced no opposition.[17][18] Applegate defeated Berry in the general election.[19]

Tenure[]

In 1963, Applegate was selected to serve on the twelve-member House Democratic Policy committee.[20] During his tenure in the state house he served on the Reference, Health, and Elections and Federal Relations committees.[8] Applegate was appointed to serve on the Finance and Elections, Commerce and Labor committees in 1969.[21] Minority Leader Calabrese appointed Applegate to a five-member Democratic advisory committee to determine which Democratic senators would be placed onto committees for the 110th General Assembly.[22] He was appointed to serve on the Finance, and Ways and Means committees in 1973.[23] The Energy and Environment committee was created in 1974, and Applegate was selected to chair the committee.[24] During his tenure he served on the Ohio Controlling Board, Ohio Constitutional Revision Commission, Legislative Service Commission, and the Agriculture and Conservation committees.[25][26]

Applegate served as an at-large delegate from the Ohio's 18th congressional district to the 1964 Democratic National Convention and served as a member of the sixteen-member delegation, nine from the Ohio Senate and seven from the Ohio House of Representatives, to the second inauguration of Lyndon B. Johnson which cost Ohio around $2,800.[27][28][29] He served as the campaign manager of Michael E. Entinger's primary campaign for the Democratic nomination for Ohio State Treasurer in 1966.[30]

In 1965, he was named as one of America's outstanding young men by the U.S Junior Chamber of Commerce. He was also nominated for the Ohio League of Young Democrat Clubs for their John F. Kennedy award.[11] In 1970, he was selected by Minority Leader Anthony O. Calabrese to serve as Assistant Minority Leader.[31]

He supported Representative Wayne Hays during the 1970 gubernatorial election and wanted to be the Democratic nominee for lieutenant governor.[32][33] Applegate was one of the candidates included in a straw poll conducted by the Democratic Party in Clark County which was won by Robert E. Cecile.[34] Anthony O. Calabrese Jr. won the lieutenant gubernatorial nomination, but lost in the general election to Republican nominee John William Brown.[35][36]

U.S. House of Representatives[]

Elections[]

Douglas Applegate during his early tenure in the United States House of Representatives

Applegate announced in 1975, that he would run for a seat in the United States House of Representatives from the 18th congressional district in the 1978 election after Representative Hays announced that he would run for governor in the 1978 election.[37] Applegate initially sought reelection to the state senate in the 1976 election.[38]

Representative Hays withdrew from the 1976 election following a sex scandal and later resigned from the United States House of Representatives.[39] [40] Fourteen of the eighteen Democratic leaders in the 18th congressional district voted in favor of Applegate, who was running against Alan Sherry and Joseph Loha, to replace Hays on the first ballot and then voted unanimously on the second ballot to give the nomination to Applegate on August 16, 1976.[41] Kinsey Milleson was selected to replace Applegate in the state senate election.[42] Representative John Wargo accused Applegate of having been selected by Hays to succeed himself, but Applegate stated that Wargo was overreacting and that he had no political debts to Hays.[43][44] He selected former Representative Robert T. Secrest to serve as his honorary campaign chair.[45] Applegate defeated Republican nominee Ralph R. McCoy and independent candidate William Crabbe, who was the mayor of Steubenville.[46][47] During the campaign Applegate had spent $20,073 compared to McCoy who spent $12,218 and Crabbe who spent $8,796.[48]

His decision made him the twenty-fourth incumbent in the House of Representatives to announce that they would not seek reelection in the 1994 elections.[49]

Tenure[]

During the 1988 presidential election Applegate ran in the Democratic primary as a favorite son candidate and received 25,068 votes. In the Ohio primary he won one county and delegate, but stated that he had succeeded in his goal in putting the issues facing the 18th congressional district before multiple presidential delegates and that he and his one delegate would lobby Michael Dukakis at the national convention.[50] He was later unsatisfied with Dukakis' stance and plan for acid rain and stated that he might vote for himself, as he was an unpledged delegate, with the delegate he won in Ohio as a protest vote.[51]

Applegate was present for 98.6% of congressional votes in 1990.[52]

Later life[]

During the 2006 election Applegate endorsed Zack Space for the Democratic nomination in the 18th congressional district against Ralph Applegate, who he had to state that he did not support nor was related to.[53] He moved to Florida later in his life and his wife died on June 5, 2020, before his death on August 7, 2021.[54][55][56]

Political positions[]

Applegate was one of fifteen Democrats who voted in favor of Governor Jim Rhodes' $1.3 billion budget in 1963.[57] In 1973, the state senate voted nineteen to fourteen, with Applegate voting in favor, in favor of a $9.9 billion budget proposed by Governor John J. Gilligan.[58] A fifty-page report listed Applegate as one of the Democratic members of the state senate controlled as a block by the Ohio AFL–CIO which was denied by Frank W. King, the head of the Ohio AFL-CIO.[59]

Crime[]

Applegate wrote a letter to Governor Michael DiSalle in 1961, asking him to halt all executions, but DiSalle stated that the "law of Ohio is such that I do not feel I could legally create a freeze on executions".[60] He and Representative Sam Landes introduced legislation in the Ohio House of Representatives that would have made Ohio's laws against obscene movies more strict.[61] Applegate proposed legislation while serving in the Ohio House of Representatives that would make it illegal to huff glue or nail polish to become high and instituted a $25 fine for first-time offenders and a $50 fine for further violations.[62] Applegate proposed legislation to the state senate in 1971, that would have the state subsidize the salaries of full-time police, deputy sheriffs, and firemen at the county, municipal, or town level.[63]

He proposed a resolution to the Ohio Senate which called for President Richard Nixon to commute William Calley's sentence.[64] Applegate, Senator Robin Turner, and Senator Robert Secrest sponsored a resolution, which was passed by a unanimous vote in the state senate, to honor J. Edgar Hoover for his forty-seven years in law enforcement.[65]

Environment[]

In 1971, Applegate introduced legislation on Earth Day that would amend Ohio's Constitution to give the right to clean air, pure water, and a healthful environment to present and future generations.[66] He requested an investigation by the Ohio Pollution Control Board into pollution in Yellow Creek after two people gave him samples of the creek showing that the water was highly acidic.[67] He proposed legislation that would increase the power of the Ohio Air Pollution Control Board, give local governments the ability to adopt air pollution standards if they were less strict than the standards of the board, and increase the penalty for violations of the legislation.[68]

Applegate co-sponsored legislation to reorganize Ohio's state cabinet to establish a state Department of Environmental Protection which would combine the Department of Natural Resources, Department of Health, Water Pollution Control Board, and the Air Pollution Control Board.[69]

Flag desecration[]

In 1967, Applegate proposed legislation in the Ohio House of Representatives which would increase the penalties for the desecration of the American and Ohio flags by increasing the maximum fine from $100 to $1,000 and increasing the prison sentence from thirty days to one year. He stated that the point of the legislation was to crack down on anti-Vietnam War protesters who desecrated the flag. The legislation was passed in the state house with ninety votes in favor and no opposition.[70][71]

Applegate stated that "I am mad as hell" and that "What in God's name is going on? This is an outrage. What will they allow next? Allow fornication in Times Square at high noon?" after the Supreme Court ruled five to four that flag desecration was protected by the First Amendment in Texas v. Johnson.[72] He also stated that the Supreme Court had humiliated the American flag with its decision.[73]

Voting[]

Applegate and Representative Anthony Calabrese Jr. introduced legislation which would have placed a ballot proposition to decrease the voting age to nineteen onto the 1966 ballot. However, the legislation failed after the Ohio House of Representatives voted seventy-one to sixty-two in favor which was twelve votes short of a three-fifths majority.[74][75] He proposed legislation in 1970 and 1971, which would lower the voting age to eighteen while the minimum age for holding office would be twenty-one.[76][77]

In 1969, Applegate and Senator William B. Nye co-sponsored legislation by Senator Oliver Ocasek to change the Constitution of Ohio to allow people aged nineteen to vote, but the legislation stated that nobody under the age of twenty-one could be elected or appointed to office.[78] The Ohio Senate voted thirty to three in favor of the legislation.[79] However, the referendum failed with 1,274,334 people voting against while 1,226,592 voted in favor.[80] He stated that it was "paradoxical that 60 percent of the young men who are Vietnam battle casualties do not have the right to vote – a right they are fighting to defend".[81]
