Gov. Bill Clements predicts he
will carry west Texas over
Democrat Mark White in the
November election by a larger
margin than the one he received
four years ago against John Hill.
Clements said in Lubbock
Wednesday he had the support
of west Texas producers be
cause of laws which changed
agricultural taxes to base them
on productivity rather than
acreage and other measures.
The law protects farmers
against “urban creep,” Clements
said.
“They (farmers) understand
where I’m coming from on agri
culture,” he said.
He also released a poll by
Houston pollster Lance Tarr-
ance that he said gave him a 14
percent lead over White.
“I’m going up and he’s going
down,” Clements said of White
after an appearance at Lubbock
Christian College. “The gap is
getting wider each day.”
White, meanwhile, picked up
endorsements from the Black
Legislative Caucus and Ohio
Sen. John Glenn as well as some
sympathy from Jim Mattox, who
is trying to succeed him as attor
ney general.
Mattox, a Dallas congress
man, Wednesday said Clements’

comments that White has done a
bad job as attorney general were
unfair in view of Clements'
handling of state affairs and his
antagonism toward White.
“It’s the first time in the state’s
history the governor has been a
Republican,” Mattox said. “Peo
ple understand now why we ha
ven't had a Republican governor
for 104 or 105 years.”
Glenn, who appeared in
Houston Wednesday on behalf
of state Democratic candidates,
predicted White would be one of
the best governors Texas has
ever had.
Rep. Craig Washington. D-
Houston and a spokesman for
the Black Legislative Caucus,
said in Houston, “We
wholeheartedly endorse Mark
White.
“Mark White will offer posi
tive leadership for all Texans,
not just the wealthy and pow
erful.”
Mattox also announced that a
newly-released poll show ed he is
comfortably ahead of Republi
can Bill Meier.
The telephone poll of 607 re
gistered voters statewide be
tween Oct. 7 and Oct. 10showed!
44 percent of those surveyed fa
vored Mattox and 22 percent
supported Meir.
'1 think my opponent has lost
the race,” said Mattox.
But Meier disputed Mattoxs
poll, saying his own surveys
showed him “neck and neck
with the Democrat.
“Compared with our ben
chmark poll from late June,
Mattox has dropped 10 percent
and we have moved significantly
upward to the point where we
are now in a dead heat,” Meier
said.

DALLAS — About one-
fourth of the contributions of
$ 1,000 or more for Gov. Bill Cle
ments’ re-election campaign in
the last five months came from
oil interests, the Dallas Morning
News said Thursday.
Clements’ Democratic chal
lenger, Attorney General Mark
White, has received the bulk of
his support from the business
community, the News said in a
copyrighted story.
It said Clements has received
almost $ 1.2 million in oil money,
accounting for about one-fourth
of the $4.9 million he has raised
from April through September
— the five-month period co
vered in the campaign-finance
reports filed last week with the
secretary of state.

industry contributions of at least
$1,000 each to Clements, a Re

AUSTIN — Democratic
gubernatorial candidate Mark
White Thursday advocated an
end to Public Utility Commis
sion rules that he said force con
sumers to bear the cost of utility
companies’ mistakes.
The attorney general said
that if elected, he would work to
abolish rules allowing utility
companies to pass to ratepayers
100 percent of the costs of
buying fuel. He also opposed
permitting construction work in
progress to be financed by con
sumers.
“With the 100 percent pas
sthrough. they (utility com.
panics) don’t care who theybiiv
their fuel from or how much
they have to pay for it,” Whiu,
said at a Capitol news confer!
ence.
“And when they make misj
takes (in construction project^
today we just glibly turn arouij
and say, 'OK. we ll let the rat
payers pay for it.”
White announced his en
dorsement by several Soim
Texas public officials, whocoi
plained his opponent Republi
can Gov. Bill Clements ha
insensitive to the needs of M
ican-American communities.
