Caperton also supports “right-to- work” legislation. County Attorney 'ecmct i Jeff Brown (Republican): Brown says that the county attorney posi tion is “a misdemeanor prosecutorial position, and those cases aren’t being prosecuted. ” Brown says he intends to “protect the merchants” of the area by collect ing on hot checks, and “protect the citizens” by being willing to prose cute on misdemeanors. The other important issue in the campaign is, Brown says, one of management. The office has mis handled cases in the past, Brown says, and he will lend organization in management. Beard says the issue in the campaign is “strictly management in commis sioner’s court for the ‘80s.” “We need good management to maximize the effects of our taxpaying dollars,” he says. The commissioner should cooperate with both cities to eliminate duplication of services. Madison also said his educational background will help him. He has a master’s degree in business admin istration with a minor in economics, he says, including nine hours in business law.

Kent Caperton (Democrat): Caperton, who defeated incumbent William T. Moore in the May 3 Democratic primary, says that “edu cation would be his top priority.” “Teachers need to get meaningful pay increases,” he says. There is enough money in the budget to handle such increases, Caperton says; the key is to see that the money is spent. Concerning higher education, the Permanent University Fund should be continued, Caperton said, although schools outside the Univer sity ofTexas and Texas A&M systems should be included. The PUF is the proceeds from leases and royalties of approximately 2.1 million acres of land. The PUF functions as an endowment, which means that the money which goes into it is never actually spent. Money from the PUF can be in vested, though, and income arising from investments is known as the Available University Fund. The Uni versity ofTexas System Board of Re gents gets two-thirds of the money from that fund, and one-third goes to the Texas A&M University System Board of Regents. These are the only two universities which benefit from the fund. Caperton has said that other state universities should also be provided for in some way. Caperton has said the need for swift administration of justice needs to be rebalanced with the rights of the accused. The balance has been distorted, so that too much weight is given to the latter, Caperton says. But Caperton does not support the governor’s proposal for the use of electronic surveillance by state law enforcement officials. “If we could be sure that it would only be used on criminals, there would be no problems,” Caperton John Barron Jr. (Democrat): Answering charges of mismanage ment by his opponent, incumbent Barron has said that he has done the best job possible with his limited staff. Barron says he will do something to remedy his problem of limited staff if re-elected. He is the only pro secutor in the office, and he has two secretaries. He has said that he needs two assistant prosecutors and two more secretaries. Paul Madison (Republican): There is a problem in this area with hot checks, Madison says, and that prob lem is the focal point of this constable race. “The old ways of handling this problem are no longer valid,” Madi son says. One of the reasons he is qualified to come up with new solu tions is his work with the state com ptroller’s office, Madison says, where he helped come up with “in novative changes” in the way that office handles business. Richard Fronterhouse (Demo crat): Fronterhouse also says that the ability to deal with hot checks is the most important qualification for this office. Fronterhouse says that he won the primary, defeating Dick Munday, by concentrating on that issue, and it has continued to be his focus. Mer chants in this area must get restitu tion, he said. He will bring 16 years experience as a police officer to the job, Fronter house says, as well as experience on the other side of the problem, which he got as a manager of a grocery store. E.W. Sayers (Democrat): Sayers, who has been the Pet. 7 constable for 12 years, says the important issue is the ability to meet what he calls the “primary duties of a constable.” These include serving papers, en forcing the laws, and being prepared to “assist all the people,” he says. The constable must be on call 24 hours a day, Sayers said. Winfred Pittman (Republican): Pittman says he is running on his experience in law enforcement. Pitt man has taken 600 hours of law en forcement training, he says, and has been a police officer for 10 years. He says he will bring a professional approach to the duties of constable. DIETING? I Precinct 3 Commissioner H.L. Cargill (Democrat): Cargill, the incumbent in this race, has res igned from office. Cargill was in dicted Friday on charges including a third degree felony count of official misconduct, to which he pleaded guilty. Cargill’s name has been removed from the ballot; part of his plea bar gain was a statement to the effect that he would not run for office. According to District Attorney Travis Bryan III, Cargill’s plea bar- gin should eliminate his taking office in January, even if he wins Tuesday’s election.

Texas lawyers endorsed Judge Garwood by 82%. He won local judicial preference polls by 86% in Dallas, 86% in Houston and 80% in Fort Worth. Judge Garwood is the choice of so many because he’s fair-minded, non partisan and better suited to the job through personal qualifications and superior training. He has over twenty years experience in private civil law practice. He served with the Judge Advocate General’s Corps, U.S. Army, and was first in his class every year at The University of Texas School of Law, receiving his LLB with honors. “The appointment of Will Garwood to the Texas Supreme Court sounds like a chapter of Texas history repeating itself The Garwoods have a long record in the judiciary. Will Garwood’s grandfather, Hiram Garwood, was county judge of Bastrop County in 1888 and at one time president of the Texas Bar Association. W. St. John Garwood, son of the county judge and father of the new associate justice, was the first Houstonian to he named to the Texas Supreme Court in 80 years...
