Boulter unveils first ad
in fight for Senate seat
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Repub
lican Senate hopeful Beau Boulter
unveiled his first major television ad
campaign Tuesday, previewing a
spot that will lampoon Sen. Lloyd
Bentsen for running two races at
once.
Using humorous clips from seve
ral old movies, the commercial
shows actors trying to ride two
horses at the same time, holding up
a saddle with no horse under it and
falling off a horse into a hole.
See related story, page 3
“We all wish we had two chances
to win, but any real Texan will tell
you can get hurt riding more than
one horse at a time,” the narrator
says.
Bentsen was chosen last month as
vice presidential running mate by
Massachusetts Gov. Michael Duka
kis. Under Texas’ 1959 “Lyndon
Law.” passed for then-Sen. Lvndon
Johnson, Bentsen’s name is allowed
to appear on the Texas ballot in both
that race and his bid for a fourth
Senate term.
Bentsen began airing his first
round of Senate election commer
cials last week.
Boulter and his campaign man
ager, Greg Graves, complained that
the Bentsen’s Senate and vice presi
dential campaigns overlap.
“The message that I get from his
television commercials ... is the peo
ple of Texas should elect him to the
U.S. Senate and then he will resign,”
said Boulter, who is attending the
GOP National Convention this week.
“Our commercial says that Lloyd
Bentsen simply does not want to be
the U.S. senator for Texas and that
Beau Boulter does,” the Amarillo
congressman said
The commercial narrator’s, voice,
in a Western twang, also seeks to call
attention to the differences between
Texas and Democrat Dukakis’home
state.
“Lloyd Bentsen says he’s running
in two races — riding a cow pony to
impress us back in Texas and riding
sidesaddle for his new Massachusetts
friends. Of Lloyd is really hedging
his bets,” it says.
The ad closes with the tag line:
“Congressman Beau Boulter — the
one candidate for U.S. Senate who
really wants to be your senator.”
Graves said the ad campaign will
begin airing Thursday in seven
Texas television markets: Dallas-
Fort Worth, Houston, Waco, Mid
land, Amarillo, Lubbock and Tyler-
Longview.
Judge starts game
to help campaign
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — A state
district judge running for a seat on
the Texas Court of Criminal Ap
peals is planning to give away prizes
as part of his campaign and his op
ponent is worried that the gimmick
could work.
State District Judge Tom Rick-
hoff, who handles juvenile cases in
Bexar County, is running for an ap
peals seat held by Judge Chuck
Miller.
Rickhoff believes that the Mike
Dukakis-George Bush presidential
race will put his race on the voters’
backburner. He decided to try to get
to the voters through other market
ing ideas.
As part of his campaign to edu
cate the public about the race and,
he hopes, to gain contributions and
votes, Rickhoff has taken out a full-
page advertisement in September’s
issue of Texas Monthly, in which he
offers contestants a trip to San Anto
nio and Sea World of Texas if they
correctly answer questions about the
appeals court and the candidates.
“No one has paid any attention to
the issues in this race and it’s incred
ibly important,” Rickhoff said. “It’s
one of the most obscure races on the
ballot and it looks like it will be to
tally forgetten and I knew I had to
come up with something.”
In the two-part game, called “A
Real Political Contest,” Rickhoff
gives the contestants facts about the
case, including a description of the
Court of Criminal Appeals and
Miller, who Rickhoff describes as an
advocate of defendant’s rights.
In the second part of the game,
the contestant answers four true-or-
false questions about the facts, writes
his name, address and phone num
ber and has the opportunity to check
a box and write in a contribution
amount.
Pine print on the contest says,
“We appreciate any donation you
might make to Judge Tom Rick-
hoffs campaign although you need
not contribute to enter contest.”
That paragaraph, Rickhoff says,
makes the contest legal.
Texas mayor
resigns due to
accusations
PATTON VILLAGE (AP) -
Robert Devaney, the third mayor
of this strife-torn community in
the past two years, said he de
cided to resign instead of defend
himself against groundless accu
sations by council members.
In the brief letter of resigna
tion, Devaney said he was step
ping down “to ensure that the
fine citizens of the city of Patton
Village do not suffer anymore
embarrassment from this and any
future adverse publicity.”
Councilman Judy Lennon,
who is now acting mayor, filed a
complaint against Devaney accus
ing him of tampering with gov
ernmental records, official mis
conduct, official oppression and
releasing confidential informa
tion from an internal Patton Vil
lage investigation to a citizen.
Lennon said she was glad De
vaney resigned so the city would
not have to attempt to impeach
him.
The Association of Former Students would like
to take this opportunity to express its appreciation
to the following for their assistance in recovering
the class rings recently taken from the Clayton
W. Williams, Jr. Alumni Center:
Bob Wiatt, Bert Kretzschmar, John Phillips and
everyone else at the University Police Depart
ment for their hard work and sensitive handling
of this matter. ,
Channel 3 and The Bryan-College Station Eagle
for their very thorough coverage which ultimately
led to recovery of the rings.
Brazos Valley Crimestoppers for taking the time
and effort to film a TV spot.
University Food Services & Custodial Personnel
whose cooperation helped the University Police
considerably.
The Observant Individual who alerted
Crimestoppers as to where the rings might be
found.
John Huntley, Randy Malazzo, & Terry O. Smith
at Texas Coin Exchange for their generous offer to
replace the stones removed from the rings.
Lee Rhea, jeweler, for resetting the stones and re
storing the rings.
