Barton predicting
victory over Geren
in Nov. 4 election
By Rodney Rather
Staff Writer
U.S. Rep. Joe Barton on Friday
held what he termed his “first offi
cial press conference” in his cam
paign against Democratic opponent
Pete Geren.
Barton said he has waited until
the past two weeks to concentrate on
the 6th District congressional race
because he’s been busy voting on leg
islative issues and representing his
constituents.
Despite the lack of time he has
spent personally on the campaign,
however, Barton predicted he will
emerge victorious Tuesday with 55
percent to 62 percent of the vote.
“I have consistently worked to
help Brazos County and all the 6th
District on local projects,” Barton
told reporters at Easterwood Air
port.
Using the airport as an example
of his local accomplishments, Barton
said he has directed almost $1.5 mil
lion to Easterwood for im
provements that will attract new in
dustries and create new jobs.
Drawing a contrast between him
self and Geren, Barton said he is “a
man of the people” educated in pub
lic schools, whereas Geren comes
from an elitist background.
“I’ve actually got a proven record
of performance (in Congress) where
his is basically promises about what
he would do,” Barton added.
Barton also said he is running a
positive advertising campaign while
Geren is using negative advertising
tactics because he can’t talk about
substantial issues.
“Most of the negative attack ads
my opponent is running are just an
act of desperation,” Barton said.
Hobby, Mattox enjoying
substantial political leads
Associated Press
Lt. Gov. Bill Hobby and Attorney
General Jim Mattox hold substantial
leads over their Republican chal
lengers, according to polls con
ducted for several news organiza
tions.
Hobby has widened his lead over
political newcomer David Davidson,
an Austin preacher. Mattox still
holds a considerable lead over State
District Judge Roy Barrera Jr., the
polls report.
A poll conducted by the Houston
Chronicle and KTRK-TV inter
viewed 665 registered voters likely to
cast ballots Tuesday. The poll was
conducted by the University of
Houston Public Affairs Research
Center.
A similar poll was conducted by
the Gallup Poll for The Houston
Post, The Dallas Morning News,
KXAS-TV in Fort Worth, KSAT-
TV in San Antonio, KPRC-TV in
Houston and KVUE-TV in Austin.
The Gallup poll did not include the
lieutenant governor’s race.
The Houston Chronicle- KTR K
poll shows Hobby with 62 percent of
the vote to Davidson’s 23 percent,
with 14 percent undecided. The
margin of error is plus or minus 4
percentage points. The percentages
do not total 100 because of rounding
off of figures.
In the September poll, Hobby had
59 percent to Davidson’s 20 percent,
with the remainder undecided.
“Hobby is going to win by an over
whelming margin,” said Richard
Murray, the Houston political scien
tist who conducted the poll. In the
current poll, Mattox had 52 percent
to Barrera’s 38 percent, with 10 per
cent undecided.
In the Gallup Poll, Mattox was fa
vored by 56 percent of the surveyed
likely voters. Barrera was the choice
of 35 percent and 9 percent were
undecided.
On a different note, the first His
panic candidate fielded by the Dem
ocrats is doing better in his race for
the Texas Supreme Court, the poll
indicated.
Incumbent Raul Gonzalez now
leads his opponent, Republican John
Bates 37 percent to 32 percent with
the remainder undecided.
