Flier causes tempers to flare
Page (
By DAN HOWELL Staff Reporter
The contents of a political flier and accusations about the ability to control publicity have heated up the last days of the campaign for Douglas County district attorney.
Campaigners for Democrat Mike Glover yesterday distributed a flizer stating that Jim Flory, his Republican opponent, favored steps toward the partisan election of judges and juries in jury proceedings in criminal trials.
Flory said last night that the fliers misrepresented his views on both issues and raised questions about his ability to control his campaign.
GLOVER SAID FLORY had stated his support for the changes many times and now wanted to make that didn't make any difference.
Another dispute has flared over Flory's ability to control mailings by Ron Holt, a local architect who has designed hundreds of postcards critical of Glover.
Regarding the flier, Fliere said he had expressed doubts about the present method of voting on retention of sitting judges. But if the method changes to an election between two candidates it should be to a non-partisan election.
"I've never supported any movement to change to partisan election," he said.
That means nothing. Glover said, because there is no movement for partisan elections in Douglas County. He also said that any competitive election required campaign donations that would become beholden to contributors.
ON THE CRIMINAL trial issue, Flory said he supported a bill in the Kansas Legislature last session to streamline the preliminary hearing process by allowing hearsey evidence. Courts hold preliminary hearings to determine whether enough evidence exists to merit a trial.
"There's no way you can jump from hearsay evidence to a secret grand jury system." Flory said, "referring to the charge on the flier.
But Glover said the admission of hearsay evidence would remove the necessity of witnesses facing the accused person.
"Any time people talk about streamlining the criminal justice system, they're talking about stripping statutory or constitutional rights that defendants have," he said.
SUCH A CHANGE also would make defendants less likely to enter pleas because they would not know the evidence the state had against them and would base their plea on the hope it was weak, Glover said.
At a public forum Tuesday, Flory said, he specifically denied the positions attributed to him on the two matters in a Glover ad. He said he was surprised to find Glover still maintaining his claims.
Fliory also denies responsibility for Holt's postcards that call Glover "incompetent and unfair" as city law requires. Glover of floating marijuana laws
Glover said that he learned about Holt's intention to make public statements against him more than a month ago. Glover and Flory agree that they discussed the matter about Holt, but differ about the conversation.
FLORY SAID THAT the conversation was general and that neither candidate had mentioned postcards because they didn't know what
method Holt would use to publicize his views.
Flory said he thought that because possible advertisements, some supported by Holt, against Glover were widely published by local media, the matter had ended.
Glover said Flory had seen Holt's ad design more than four weeks ago.
When I confronted him about it, he didn't respond. He couldn't control it." Glover said.
"I think Flory's trying to get the advantage - if there is any - in having that dirt get out and then disavow it."
Both Flory and Holt said they did not know each other. Flory said they first met Oct. 29, when Holt introliums himself to Flory at a political function.
FLORY SAID THAT Holt had mailed him a campaign contribution and had enclosed a page about Glover but that he had thrown the page away because nothing had identified its purpose.
Holt said his postcards were intended to get the truth about Glover to the voters of the county.
He said Glover had some kind of animosity for him that he thought stemmed from a dispute over a problem with a bathroom door in a house Holt designed for Glover in 1980.
Holt also said his conviction for misdemeanor battery in December 1983 showed Glover's revenge motive.
Glover said the battery charges against Holt were filed because Holt had used unreasonable force against him. He also loaded a loaded '38-caliber handgun.

SOLUTION
And that means each time you visit the County Treasurer's office to buy car tags or pay your taxes, the odds are roughly 3 out of 4 that you'll be dealing with a well-intentioned, but relatively inexperienced, employee.
NANCY WELSH DISCUSSES EMPLOYEE TURNOVERS IN THE COUNTY TREASURER'S OFFICE
In the 7 years that Ruth Vervynck has been County Treasurer, over 60 of her employees have resigned or been fired. That results in about 9 turnovers per year out of an average office staff of 12.
PROBLEM
If you elect me your County Treasurer, I will implement a comprehensive training program which will allow each employee to become proficient at his or her job. I also plan to hold regular staff meetings in order to keep employees updated on relevant new laws and statutes.
My 20 years of business and management experience have taught me how to train—and keep—good employees.
I firmly believe in working with my employees—not just over them. And, because I know I can learn a lot by listening to my employees, they will be encouraged to voice their concerns about work-related problems and to share their ideas on how to improve office efficiency.
My "open door" policy will include you—the taxpaying public—as well as my staff. It is my goal to maintain an excellent group of employees who will serve you courteously and efficiently.
