Wednesday, May 9, 1984/The Battalion/Page 5 Krueger was his strongest opponent says Gramm &ramm: campaigning positively for Senate seat By KARI WEEKS Reporter Phil Gramm showed confi dence Friday at Easterwood Airport that he would win the GOP nomination for the Senate seat being vacated by Republi can John Tower. Gramm’s confidence wasn’t without merit, because he won the nomination with 73 percent of the vote. This was 20 percent better than the most recent poll that showed Gramm with 53 percent of the people supporting him. Gramm said Democratic Sen ate contender Bob Krueger was running stronger against him than either U.S. Rep. Kent Hance or state Sen. Lloyd Dog- gett. Hance and Doggett edged Krueger Saturday in one of the state’s closest primary elections, with fewer than 2,250 votes sep arated first-place Hance from third-place Krueger. Hance and Doggett face each other in a runoff June 2. Gramm’s press secretary, Larry Neal, said that besides showing Gramm as the front runner the poll showed U.S. Rep. Ron Paul with 17 percent, oilman Rob Mosbacher with 7 percent and gubernatorial nominee Hank Grover with 2 percent of the people support ing them. “The senate race is important because the senate seat would be the only state-wide office held by Republicans,” Gramm said. “It would determine whether we have a Democratic or Republican majority in the Senate and whether we have a base of support for our pro grams in Congress. And it is im portant that Texas has a strong voice in government.” He also said that he was the only candidate that has actually put together a winning combi nation of Republicans, indepen dents and conservative Demo crats before. That was when he chose to resign from Congress and run as a Republican candi date, Gramm said. Gramm resigned his seat in Congress in 1982 to switch par ties after he sided with Presi dent Reagan’s economic poli cies, and went on to win re- election as a Republican. “We don’t know who our likely opponent will be,” Gramm said Monday at a press conference in Lubbock. “It doesn’t matter who the Demo cratic nominee is,” he said of his campaign for Tower’s seat. “I’m not running against any body in this race,” Gramm said, adding he would run a positive campaign between now and No vember based on his congressio nal experience. “I believe I can follow the tra dition of John Tower ... of as suring our voice will be heard in a Reagan White House,” Gramm said. He said that half of some 1,500 people attending his pri mary victory party in College State have voted for the first lime in a Republican primary. Besides being able to put to gether a winning combination for the general elections in No vember, Gramm said that he has helped to bring the inflation rate to a stand still and create jobs for 500 million people. Of those jobs he said that 515 thou sand were in Texas alone. It is on these previous accom plishments, his opposition to amnesty for aliens and em ployer sanctions that Phil Gramm will continue his cam paign for the Senate.
