Jolene Unsgold, Democratic incumbent, Wash. 502,444 SOURCE: Federal Election Commission Knight-Ridder Tribune News Senators prepare for big day WASHINGTON — Senate incumbents were told to ensure their leads in the final rush toward Election Day, and only the races in North Carolina and Hawaii remained tossups in the polls. The Associated Press Voters in 34 states elect senators today and Democrats appear to be in no danger of losing their control of the party, new split 54-43 in their favor. Most observers predicted that the Senate would shift only a seat or two in either direction, but that didn't dampen the intensity with which candidates were competing for votes in races across the country. Fights broke out over the weekend between supporters of three-term incumbent Sen. Jesse Helms, R-N.C., and backers of Democratic challenger Harvey Gantt, the former mayor of Chicago, who was ahead in the campaign. In no other state are voters being offered so clear a choice — Helms, a leader of the right wing of the Republican party, its ardent, unabashed liberal who is Black. Personal attacks are the norm Helms accused Gantt of supporting racial quotas but denied yesterday that he had made race an issue in the campaign. "We have not made an issue of race, but he has gone around the state pleading for the Black vote." Helms said. "He has a right to do it. But that has injected race into it." Meanwhile, the Justice Department sent a team of lawyers to North Carolina after Democrats said that they had tried to intimidate Black voters. The state GOP sent out postcards telling voters that they were ineligible to vote if they had moved in the last 30 days. The statement on the cards is misleading, said a Justice Department official. Democrats said the postcards were sent to predominantly Black precincts. The state GOP pledged to not use any information it obtained from returned postcards to challenge the administration today, said the Justice Department. In Hawaii, the differences between the candidates were less dramatic, and the campaigning much more genteel. Incumbent Democratic Sen. Daniel Akea was fighting for elec- tion in Palm Beach, which he was appointed last spring. The islands are overwhelmingly Democratic, so Akaka's challenger, moderate Republican Rep. Pati Saih, has asked Democrats to cross over today. She said that Sen. Daniel Inouye, Hawaii's senior Democratic senator, was supporting Oregon in Mark Hatfield's re-election bid. Hattief is ahead in the polls, although not safely out of reach of Democrat Harry Lonsdale, a businessman and scientist. After six terms in the Senate, Hattief enjoys support from a huge array of fellow politicians. Lonsdale is in striking range largely because of his ads portraying Hatfield as too much of an insider. Similar themes mark the contest in Kentucky between incumbent Mitch McConnell, a first-term Republican, and Democratic Harvey Sloane. Another insider-outsider campaign is in Minnesota, where GOP incumbent Rudy Boschstein is favored over Republican Paul Welstom. Paul Welstom a college professor. In one of the more unusual camp pitches this fall, the Boschwitz campaign sent a letter to the Minnesota Jewish community that said while both men were Jewish, Welstone had married a non-Jew and was not raising his children in the religion. Wellstone called the letter "unforgivable . . . the most personal attack of all." Personal attacks have been routine in Senate campaigns this year. In Massachusetts, incumbent Democrat John Kerry responded to Republican Jim Rappaport's attacks by running a series of ads raising questions about Rappaport's personal finances. In New Hampshire, Democratic John Durkin accused Republican Robert Smith of being in the pocket of the "Japs" because his campaign was aided by independent advertisers from Japanese auto dealers. New Hampshire, Idaho and Colorado are the three states where incumbents senators are retiring this year. In all three, Republicans are expected to retain control of the seats. In Iowa, incumbent Democrat Tom Harkin is trying to become the first Democrat in that state ever re-elected to the Senate. His Republican challenger, Rep. Tom Tauke, is less than 10 points behind in the polls. Voters end intense campaign war Other incumbents nursing uncerain leads into the final days are Sen. Claborne Pell, D.R.I., who faces Republican Republican Claudine Schneider, and Sen. Larry Pressler, R.S.D., who is being challenged by businessman Ted Muenster in another throw-the-rascs out effort. The Associated Press TOPEKA — Kansas voters, perhaps in record numbers, will end today one of the most negative election campaigns the state has seen. They are going to the polls to pick a governor, hetenuant governor, attorney general, secretary of state, treasurer, insurance commissioner, U.S. senator, five U.S. House members, all 125 members of the state House of Representatives and six members of the state Board of Education. They also will decide whether to approve a constitutional amendment on who should control educational policy Secretary of State Bill Graves predicted yesterday that Kansas would set a state record for voter turnout in a non-presidential elec tion. However, another early winter storm that moved into western Kansas early yesterday might dampen Graves' outlook. Polls opened at 7 a.m. in all but two counties. Sedgwick County's polls opened at 6 a.m., and Butler County's voting places opened at 6:30 a.m. They will close at 7 p.m. in all 105 counties. The voting areas are on mountain standard time, so polls there close an hour later than in other counties. Voting will conclude an orown raucous gubernatorial campaign between incumbent Republican Gov. Mike Hayden and his Democratic candidate, State Treasurer Joan Finney, who battled over property taxes, abortion, death penalty and competence for three months. A third, independent candidate for governor, Christina Campbell-Cline, a Wichita certified public accountant, is expected to draw seven to 10 percent of the vote. Because she ran an almost invisible campaign because of lack of money, her vote will attest to the dissatisfaction many voters have with the Hayden-Finney choice. The election also winds up equally nasty races between Republican Bob Stephan and Democrat Bert Cantwell for attorney general, Republican Ron Todd and Democrat Paul Feliciano for insurance commissioner and Democrat Sandy Thompson and Democrat Cally Thompson to succeed Finn as treasurer. Hayden was to fly to his home town of Atwood in far northwest Kansas to vote at noon at the Rawls County Courthouse, then return to Topeka to watch election returns at his campaign headquarters. Finney was scheduled to be in Wichita this morning, shaking hands at a downtown street corner, then to topake to vote in late afternoon and then watch returns at her home during the evening. Both Hayden and Finney were scheduled to make appearances at party election watch parties in Topeka late last night. Record turnout in Kansas came in 1984 when 1.02 million people voted in the presidential race between Presidency and challenger Walter Mondale. Clerk's living room now a polling place The Associated Press CROSSBY, Mimi. — Larry and Bonnie Carrion's living room will be the most popular spot in Dean Lake Township today. That is where the township's 42 registrators must go to cast their ballots. Residents usually vote at the township hall. But the old hall was diapolized it was deliberately damaged, and a new hall isn't ready to be used yet. Because there was no polling place, Bonnie Carlson, the Dean Lake Township Clerk, volunteered her home. our place was available," she said. We needed a place to vote, and The Carlson home, which overlooks the Mississippi River and is about 10 miles northeast of Crosby, is new. The living room floor is unfinished, but that's just a matter of time, the foot traffic. If past history is a guide, most of the township's registered voters will cast ballots. The township's single voting booth has been set up in the living room. This morning, Carlson set up a table for the three election judges and began serving coffee and cookies.
