NATION/WORLD Tuesday, February 20, 1996 UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 5A GOP rivals jostle to win The Associated Press MANCHESTER, N.H. — Republican presidential combatants argued taxes, trade and negative ads yesterday in a final burst of contentious campaigning before New Hamp- shire's leader primary. A weakened Bob Dole was the principal target. On the eve of the voting, polls showed Dole, the Senate majority leader, fighting commentator Pat Buchanan f Tennessee Gov. Lamar Alexander in close pursuit. "The election in November is about the future, the primary tomorrow is about who can beat Bill Clinton," Alexander asserted, suggesting Dole was not that man. Bob Dole Buchanan was bidding to stay atop a wave of support from social conservatives and blue-collar Republicans that he rode to. first, with former Lamar Alexander Pat Buchanan victory in Louisiana and a surprising second-place finish in Iowa. He predicted a strong New Hampshire finish. Still haunted by his loss here in 1988 to George Bush, Dole stopped short of predicting a decisive victory. But he said he expected a friendly verdict. The Kansas senator picked up the endorsement of a third GOP presidential dropout, Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Scales. "If you take the totality of his positions, I think he has the best program for America," Specter said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. Dole earlier won the backing of former California Gov. Pete Wilson and Texas Sen. Phil Gramm, both onetime rivals for the GOP nomination. In the final full day of campaigning, the candidates darted back and forth across the state and dominated the airwaves with live interviews and campaign commercials. the Kansan of avoiding interviews. All the major contenders but Dole made the rounds of morning talk shows, leading Alexander to accuse "There have been more sightings of Elvis in New Hampshire than there have been of Senator Dole," Alexander said at Phillips Exeter Academy in Exeter, N.H. "We've been out here every day," Dole responded. "I don't know what his problem is. I hope he gets over it." Dole traveled gay people to work in his administration if elected. "I don't think their lifestyle should ... discredit the administration," Buchanan told CNN.' Dole traveled the state by bus, offering himself as the clear choice for Republicans. Publisher Steve Forbes joined three lesser-known GOP candidates — California Rep. Bob Dornan, Illinois manufacturer Murry Taylor and conservative talk show host Alan Keyes — at a pancake flipping contest and breakfast in Manchester. "The election in November is about the future, the primary tomorrow is about who can beat Bill Clinton." Forbes' pancake broke in the air and fell to the ground. "I'm not used to doing it," he said. At a high-tech computer company in Rochester, he attacked Buchanan for protectionist trade proposals he said would put the export-reliant plant out of business. The heir to the Forbes publishing fortune had a more positive predicti- Buchanan, for his part, opened the day with a pep rally for workers at his Manchester campaign headquarters. When another supporter predicted a big Buchanan victory, the candidate said, "If we can get something like that here, we will go all the way. They will not stop us." In a TV interview, Buchanan was questioned about his views on social issues such as homosexuality. He said he wouldn't allow openly Lamar Alexander Republican presidential candidate tion for his self financed campaign, saying he was ready to press on beyond New Hampshire regardless of the vote. "We're in for the duration," he said. At a campaign stop in Manchester, Forbes also tossed out the names of two well-known conservatives he would consider as potential running mates on a Forbes ticket — former Education Secretary Bill Bennett and former housing secretary Jack Kemp. Bennett is an Alexander supporter; Kemp has remained neutral. A poll by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center for the Boston Herald and WCVB-TV, released yesterday, showed Dole at 22 percent, Buchanan at 19 percent and Alexander at 18 percent — a statistical tie within the poll's 5 percentage point margin of error. Forbes was at 10 percent. "The most striking finding is the underlying volatility which still characterizes the race," said pollster Kelly Myers. "Even among 'most likely' voters, 13 percent remain undecided." Mardi Gras Is Cajun For Party Naked! come join us for MARDI GRAS Tue.
