Wisconsin State Journal, Thursday, October 9, 1986 Page 4, Section 1 An SvGDvesmmcoini 'Wkalley dies By Paul A. Rix 7 A ermcinnx Of The State Journal David O'Malley, 73, an 18-year veteran of the state Assembly revered for his commitment to agriculture, died of an apparent heart attack Tuesday night while dining at his son's restaurant, the O'Malley Farm Cafe, in Waunakee. His daughter, Maureen, of Madison, said her father was having a late meal around 8 p.m. "when he dropped over." Emergency personnel from Waunakee were called to the restaurant and immediately took O'Malley to University Hospital in Madison, where several attempts were made to revive him, she said. He died at 9:10 p.m.

"He was a great man, one of the last of the old breed," Assembly Speaker Thomas Loftus, D-Sun Prairie, said. "He was a Democrat from his nose to his toes." O'Malley was elected to the Assembly in 1958, the same year as Rep. Cletus Vanderperren, Green Bay, now the Assembly's senior Democrat, and two years after Rep. Earl McEssy, Fond du Lac, the Assembly's senior Republican. When he announced in the summer of 1976 he would not seek re-election, O'Malley was sixth in seniority and had risen to chair the Assembly Agriculture Committee O'Malley's 46th Assembly District stretched from Sun Prairie in northeastern Dane County to Mount Horeb in the southwest, an area now represented by Loftus and two other Democrats, David Travis of Madison and Joseph Wineke of Verona.

"I owe a lot to him," said Loftus, first elected to the Assembly in 1976. "He told me two years before he left that I should get my campaign ready."

He also pushed legislation limiting the size of corporate farms. Shirley Thompson, a Mount Horeb Republican and farm wife, gave O'Malley perhaps his toughest reelection runs in 1972 and 1974. In an October 1974 interview, O'Malley said, "I'm running scared.

I always run scared. A politician cant take anything for granted. It's a clear case of a new face against my record and experience." In the 1974 campaign, O'Malley chose a low-budget operation, preferring to rely on his name and experience. Mrs. Thompson, on the other hand, spent nearly $8,000 and enlisted the support of ISO campaign coordinators in virtually every municipality in the district a high-powered Assembly race those days.

O'Malley's daughter, Maureen, a Republican, faces Madison Democrat Spencer Black in the Assembly's 77th District on Nov. 4. Black defeated her two years ago. Norman Anderson, former Assembly speaker and Loftus' mentor, hunted and fished with O'Malley. He recalled how disturbed O'Malley was at news of Ms.

O'Malley's Republican status. "It was a source of great anguish for Dave," Anderson said. "Nonsense," Ms. O'Malley said. "In fact, he helped me in the campaigns.

We had our arguments, though." O'Malley and his son and daughter-in-law, Pat and Donna O'Malley, opened the O'Malley Farm Cafe in July 1976. "That was one of the joys of his life," Loftus said. "That and traveling to Ireland." O'Malley also was a member of the Dane County Board and a village of Waunakee supervisor. A graduate of Waunakee High School he attended the University of Wisconsin. His wife, the former Ruth Callahan, a native of Meridan, died of a stroke in 1964.

OPEN SUNDAY 12 to 5 at 2322 South Park Street O'Malley was a product of his farm upbringing, a protector of the farmers' interest during an era when the farm meant more than the city. A native of Waunakee, he gained a reputation as a rural political pro who withstood challenges by younger, more urban-oriented partisans. O'Malley was one of the chief opponents of measures to lift the ban of colored oleomargarine in Wisconsin.
