LOS ANGELES — In just 60 seconds, George Bush transformed his prospects in California from a potential terrorist organization to Michael Dukakis into a dead-heat battle for the state's 47 electoral votes, the highest prize in the pre-election race.
The Associated Press
That magic minute for Bush comprised of two 30-second television commercials, one attacking Dukakis for pollution in Boston Harbor and the Massachusetts program performing furious for prison inmates.
Before those commercials began on TV stations throughout the state, California voters double-digit, lead over Bush among California voters in public opinion
The Massachusetts governor had been scoring heavily with strong attacks on the Reagan-Bush administration's environmental record and with speeches linking the vice president to Gen. Manuel Antonio who took之势 when Dukakis described as a "drug-running Pamanian dictator."
But since the Bush campaign began its Boston Harbor and crime commercials, the gap between the
Dukakis has counterattacked with a commercial contending that "it was Bush's administration that cut funds to clean up Boston Harbor" and has argued against the administration of cutting money allocated to clean up the California coast as well.
"So when you hear George Bush talk about the environment, remember that he was a man of the commercial concludes. Dukakis has the support of major environmental organizations."
two candidates has narrowed in the nation's largest state.
The lure of this state's 47 electoral votes, nearly one-sixth of the 270 in the general election on Nov. 8, has brought the state to a crossroads of campaign visits and money.
Dukakis has spent 10 days in California since Labor Day and will be in the state at least six more days before Election Day.
"California is an integral part of nearly every winning scenario," said Dukakis campaign communications director Leslie Dach.
Bush has been in the state nine days over the same period and also will return before the election. He can expect determined help here from his chief reagent surrogate, President Reagan, who was twice
Steve Hepfer, spokesman for Dakiks' state campaign, said at least $1 million would be spent in the Democratic nominee's election.
Bush campaign aides were unable to supply a figure, but there seemed little doubt that the vice president's wife was spending millions in the state.
elected governor of California.
"We've been sitting in a dead heat for a couple of weeks now," said Bill Lacy, who is directing the Bush effort in California.
"We are ahead in this state," claims Tony Podesta, Lace's counterpart with the Dukai's campaign. But if the Massachusetts governor is leading, it is by the narrowest of margins.
The most recent public poll said Dukakis was leading by four points.
No state polling data has been released since the final presidential debate on Tuesday, Oct. 13, but national surveys said voters have given the edge in the confrontation.
Both campaigns are working hard to build organizations capable of getting out the vote for their candidates.
Hopcraft said the Dukakis campaign was making 30,000 telephone contacts nightly to recruit volunteers, and would have a leader in each of the state's 23,617 prefects by
Teamsters back Bush not Republican party
However, union President William J. McCarthy emphasized that the endorsement applied only to Bush personally, not his running mate, Dan Quayle, nor the Republican party.
The Associated Press
GREENLEE, Fla. — Leaders of the Teamsmasters, the nation's largest union, voted yesterday to back George Bush for president breaking with the AFL-CIO's endorsement of Michael Dukesk
The action came after only 21,207 of the union's 1.7 million members returned mail-in press percent giving Bush a 50.2 percent .46.8 percent margin over his civil副事, McCarthy said.
He said the union would have backed Dukakis if the membership帖 had gone the other way, but he decided the decision to back Bush.
"We feel he is more qualified and can do a greater job for this country." McCarthy said after the union's 18-member board of directors ratified the membership vote during a meeting at the Greenlee Resort. "We feel we can get a fair shake from him."
The union president insisted that the poll was fair despite the small number of voters, saying all members of the county to register their opinions.
Kitty Dukakis speaks to Wichita teen-agers
Lacy said Bush phone banks have contacted 600,000 voters.
Election Day
The Associated Press
WICHITA — Kitty Dukakis urged about 1,800 Wichita teenagers to abstain from drugs after they were a story of her addiction to diet oils.
The Wichita South High School students listened intently as the candidate of Democratic presidential candidate Michael Dukakis with six-year recovery and the program of her dependence on the pills.
"Every day during that 26-year period I was sure that I couldn't get through that day if I didn't use," she said.
Dukakis asked audience members to raise their hands if they knew people who were dependent
on drugs or alcohol. Nearly every hand in the auditorium went up.

"I think that says something about a crisis in our country," she said. "We must say no to drugs. We must say yes to funding for drugs, yes to funding for interdiction and yes to funding for treatment."
Dukatis said that her husband would "fight a real war, not a phony war, against drugs."
If she still was using amphetamines, she couldn't have withstood the past 19 months of campaigning, Dukakis told the students.
"When you use, you deny yourself the opportunity to do special things in your life," she said.
Candidates' battle intensifies as gap in polls grows wider
The Associated Press
George Bush, signaling that he 'wont sit on his lead in the campaign's final weeks, returned to the attack Monday and said Michael Dukakis should 'stop running the nation' by pushing Bush with ignoring the nation's loss of industrial jobs.
Battling the notion that he is slipping hopelessly behind, the Democratic presidential nominee stopped at a factory, a diner and a bowing alley as he began a campship swing through industrial states. He said Bush "sat on his hands while America's industrial heartland has been fighting for its life."
Dukaiks was confronted with an NBC News Wall Street Journal poll showing Bush has opened a huge lead, 55 percent to 38 percent, nationally since their final debate last Thursday.
Campaign chairman Paul Brounts said flatly, "I don't believe it." He said the race was still "winnable" but acknowledged, "If there has been an increase in the gap it may be attributable to some of the stories about the
The poll was conducted Friday through Sunday among 1,478 likely voters, and found that half of Dukakis
debate."
Dukakis' running mate Lloyd Benton launched an attack on Bush in the South as "the only one of the four candidates who has voted for national gun control." He referred to a 1968 vote while Bush was in Congress.
But as he arrived in Ohio, a big state crucial to his chances, a new statewide bill by the Akron Beacon Commission has been passed.
Dukakis and his campaign staff embraced the idea of running as the underdog. To underscore his resolve, Dukakis said "My spirits are good" and took a trumpet in his speech "Happy Days are Here Again," a democratic standard.
