Clinton, Bush dominate Puerto Rican primary
The Associated Press
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — Bill Clinton defeated rival Jerry Brown by an overwhelming margin in yesterday's Democratic primary in Puerto Rico. Meanwhile, President Bush nearly shut out GOP challenger Patrick Buchanan.
The election came two days before bigger contests in New York, Wisconsin and Kansas.
With nearly all the 1,779 precincts reporting, Clinton gained 60,572 votes, or 96 percent. Brown won 1,010, or 2 percent, and other candidates split the rest.
On the Republican side, with nearly all the votes in, had Bush 251, 821, or 99
percent.
Buchanan, ex-Ku
Klux Klausman
David Duke and
other candidates
split the remain-
der.
Clinton had strong support from the island's Democratic leadership and supported tax breaks that would benefit companies that form the commonwealth's industrial base.
Brown dismissed the results of the primary.
"Puerto Rico is run by the party hierarchy," he said. "We can't compete there. We're an insurgent campaign."
The island's Republican leader, former Gov. Luis Ferre, had urged a
strong Republican turnout to show GOP leaders in Washington that there was nothing to fear politically from Puerto Rican if it became a state. Ferre is a close friend of Bush, who has publicly advocated statehood.
Republican turnout was about four times the Democratic response, elections officials said.
As residents of a U.S. commonwealth, Puerto Rican vote in primaries but not in general elections. At stake here are 14 Republican delegates and 51 Democratic delegates.
Primary regulations require each candidate to win at least 15 percent of the vote before he can win any delegates.
Clinton argues relevancy of draft induction notice
The Associated Press
NEW YORK - Bill Clinton said yesterday that he didn't think it was relevant to disclose that he joined the ROTC program at the University of Arkansas after receiving a draft induction notice in 1969.
"I thought the whole focus was the issue about the ROTC." Clinton said. "I tried to expose it as fully as I could. I'm sorry, if you feel that I didn't."
Revelations of the induction notice and Clinton's entry into the Army ROTC came Saturday, when a letter surfaced from 1969. The letter was sent to Leslie Campbell, dean at
Auburn University in 1969 by an attorney.
Both the attorney from Little Rock, Ark., who said he was a friend of Clinton's in the '60s, and Campbell said they opposed Clinton's presidential candidacy.
"I want you to understand what I would gladly have told you this if it had even occurred to me that this was relevant to the story," Clinton said in response to questions from reporters.
Clinton's failure to reveal that he had received the induction notice when his draft record and status during the Vietnam War became an issue
earlier in his campaign.
"Over the years, they have repeatedly said nothing unusual was done in my case. I got no special favors," Clinton said.
Clinton said he regretted any misunderstanding about his draft record and that he would have disclosed the information earlier if he had thought it was pertinent.
Clinton acknowledged that joining the ROTC program while a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford University helped him avoid the draft in the summer of 1969, but he explained, as he had earlier in the campaign, that he later gave up the deferment.
