Campaign confuses lottery officials
The Associated Press
TOPEKA—A Maryland man hired to an executive position with the Kansas Lottery told Baltimore reporters yesterday he was still a candidate for public office in Baltimore. But Larry Montgomery, director of the Kansas Lottery, said the man had said he had pulled out of the race.
The confusion was created by the public statements of the new Kansas Lottery employee, Larry Gray.
After talking to Gray by telephone after Gray's news conference, Montgomery said he was convinced that Gray had abandoned his bid for the office of city comproller in Baltimore and was now the full-fledged director of administration for the Kansas Lottery.
"He's not a candidate any more as far as we're concerned," Montgomery said. "That's what he's told me, and I've got to believe him."
Montgomery said he hired Gray on
week and planned to announce it
next week.
Gray has been investments analyst for the Maryland state lottery.
He also is the Republican candidate for city comproller in Baltimore's municipal elections this fall, challenging a Democrat who has held the job for about 25 years. With Democrats holding a 4-1 advantage in registrations in Baltimore, Gray is not favored to win.
But Gray told reporters at the Baltimore news conference that his family and campaign aides would
continue to campaign in Baltimore and that if he won, he would resign his new Kansas job and take the city position.
When asked if he had told that to Kansas Lottery officials, he said the matter hadn't been brought up.
Montgomery said Gray's statements were a surprise.
"We knew he was running for office," Montgomery said after being informed of Gray's news conference. "But he said he would step out of the race to accept the job here. That's exactly what he told us."
Montgomery called Gray in Baltimore after the news conference. Based on that conversation, Montgomery said, he was convinced Gray had given up his Baltimore campaign
and was permanently with the Kansas Lottery.
Montgomery said it was too late for Gray to withdraw as a candidate so his name would be on the Baltimore ballot.
Nancy Zogelman, information officer for the Kansas Lottery, said a news release announcing Gray's employment would be prepared and probably distributed to the media, probably next week.
As director of administration, Gray will have charge of purchasing, personnel, computers, budgeting and forecasting, formal auditing (or the Kansas Lottery).
Gray was expected to return last night from Baltimore, Montgomery
Court honored for reducing case delays
The award, which will be accepted by Chief Justice David Prager at a ceremony Oct. 24 in Atlanta, comes under the foundation for Improvement of Justice.
TOPEKA - The Kansas Supreme Court has been awarded $10,000 by a national foundation for the court's ability to dramatically reduce the case backlog in the state's judicial system within the past six years.

The foundation is privately endowed for $1 million, and its awards are designed to recognize
and reward those who make improvements in the judicial system.
behalf of the court.
It was founded by Judson W. Chapman, a newspaper editor who died in 1952, and his wife, Zena, who is continuing his work.
The Kansas Bar Association nominated the Kansas Supreme Court for the award "in recognition of the court's significant progress in reducing delays in the state's trial courts," said a statement from the state Office of Judicial Administration.
nate cases within certain median time periods.
Under former Chief Justice Alfred G. Schroeder, the court began a program in December of 1980 to speed up the handling of cases in the state judicial system. It implemented time standards which required judges to strive to termi-
Since the standards were adopted, the number of civil cases pending for two years or more has been reduced from 2,218 to 404, and the number of cancer cases pending 12 months or longer has decreased from 625 in 1980 to 82 at present.
Ron Keefoever, the court's information officer, said that no decision had been made on what the money will be used for, but that discussions are under way to apply it toward some statewide purpose to benefit the public.
The Kansas program has been cited at numerous national seminars as a model for reducing litigation delays, including the Conference of Chief Justices.
Prager will go to Atlanta to accept the cash award and a gold medal on
