He lost to Alexander Wiley, who went on to lose to incumbent Philip La Follette in the general election. Chapple's name was put into play in Wisconsin as a favorite son candidate for the Republican nomination for President of the United States in 1956 after William Knowland withdrew from the race, but ultimately, incumbent Dwight D. Eisenhower retained the nomination and won re-election. In 1960, Chapple was a write-in candidate for the United States House of Representatives from Wisconsin's 10th congressional district, garnering 4.7% of the vote. He lost to Republican incumbent Alvin E. O'Konski. (en)
