Recall supporters
The Independent Voters' Association, the anti-Townley Republican State Committee, and the Democratic State Committee were all involved in the recall effort.[2]
In a letter, the secretary of the Independent Voters' Association, Theodore G. Nelson wrote, "In this recall election campaign the principal questions involved are whether or not public officials shall be required to render honest public service and not be permitted to appropriate public property for their personal gain. These are fundamental principles of public government and civilization itself."[2]
