Election '94: The weirder the better
Election '94 Several campaigns go beyond normal
Things are getting strange out on the campaign trail.
A Hawaiian congressional candidate has vanished. A bank robber is running for the Montana Legislature. A dead man is likely to be re-elected in West Virginia.
And around the country, more than one candidate is making this promise: "Elect me. I'll resign."
From coast to coast, negative campaigning is the favored tactic this year. But some candidates are willing to balance the attacks with references to their own qualifications.
For instance, Joseph Brennan, a Democratic candidate for governor in Maine, says he has "more experience with firearms than any other gubernatorial candidate."
Specifically, Brennan, an army veteran, has attested to his competence with machine guns and bazookas.
in Maine, but seriously, with weapons like that, who needs the line-item veto?
There is one tactic taking hold this year that is harder to categorize as negative or positive. What do you say about someone who promises to quit if elected?
There are several of these kamikaze candidacles around the country. In Sheridan County, Mont., Mary Nielsen is running for assessor with the slogan "Elect me, I'll resign."
This has prompted some chuckling
There is some logic to this. The Montana Legislature abolished the duties of county assessors last year, but Sheridan County missed the deadline for abolishing the post locally.
In Texas, State Treasurer Martha Whitehead is looking to abolish not only her job, but her entire agency. In a TV commercial, her image slowly vanishes as she insults: "Fewer bureaucrats, less waste, starting with me."
Who knows? In a year of anti-incumbency, it may be the ultimate campaign strategy.
In Hawaii, Republican congressional candidate Robert Garner has issued no ultimatum — or anything else. He has disappeared.
Garner is said by acquaintances to be alive and well on and a boat somewhere. GOP Chairman Jared Jossem calls him "an extremely independent Republican."
Garner defeated two opponents in the Sept. 17 primary for the right to take on Democrat Patsy Mink. That was about the last anyone heard from him.
Muslims, Croats ally to fight Serbs
In West Virginia, popular state Delegate Odell Huffman stands a good chance of being re-elected, which wouldn't be much of a story except that he committed suicide last month.
He had, in fact, served 21/2 years for robbery in Washington state in the late 70s.
Then there's Lennie Thompson, a democratic nominee for state House in Montana. Thompson volunteered at a candidates' forum last spring that his resume included a stint as a bank robber.
SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina — Faced with their toughest challenge of the 31-month war, Bosnian Serbs struggled yesterday to hold ground against heavy government attacks on three fronts.
agreed in March to form joint armed forces. It would give them an overwhelming manpower advantage against the Serbs.
A combined Muslim-Croat offensive would be the first major cooperative operation since the two groups
In what could be a pivotal change, Bosnian Croat multitamen, who had stayed out of the recent fighting, are mobilizing to support the suddenly successful Muslim-led government forces, a U.N. official said.
The Croat militia's entry into combat could accelerate the dramatic shift of the past week, which came as the long-outgunned government army achieved its biggest territorial gains since the war began in April 1992.
The main arenas of combat yesterday were in the mountains just south of Sarajevo, around the Serb-held, West-Central town of Kupres, and in Northwest Bosnia, where government troops have captured at least 100 square miles in seven days.
Paul Risley, a U.N. spokesman in Zagreb, said the Bosnian Croat militia was deploying troops and heavy weapons south of Kupres, apparently preparing to fight Serb forces already under government attack from the north.
After fighting each other for territory in Central and Southern Bosnia during most of last year, Bosnian Muslims and Croats agreed in March, at U.S. urging, to form a federation with joint armed forces.
Investigation of Serbs underway The Associated Press
BONN, Germany — Germany is investigating 51 Serbs accused of war crimes and is willing to turn over the suspects to the U.N. Yugoslav War Crimes Tribunal, the chief prosecutor was quoted yesterday as saying.
In an interview with the magazine Stern, Chief Prosecutor Kay Nehm said that Germany would have to amend its laws to comply with any request from the tribunal for jurisdiction. All the suspects were living in Germany, Nehm said.
Stern said that all 51 suspects in Germany were ethnic Serbs.
