Inouye won by better than 2 to 1, carrying with him Democrat John A. Burns, 53, former territorial delegate to the U.S. Congress...
...Bellotti's a first-rater, a real go-getter," Beer said. "It was a mastake not to endorse all three." Of the top three Democratic candidates, only Endicott Peabody, nominee for Governor, was endorsed...
