UT students rally
to hear Jackson
AUSTIN (AP) — The Rev. Jesse
Jackson told a University of Texas rally
Monday to “keep hope alive’’ for a
Democratic presidential victory and de
nounced the Republican ticket of George
Bush and Dan Quayle.
“We are going to take off the Bush-
Quayle mask,” Jackson said. “We will
not have Halloween November the
eighth. We will not get the trick, while
they get the treat,” he said to a spirited
crowd of about 3,000 people at the UT
campus.
He urged the crowd, comprised of
mostly students, to vote for Democratic
candidate Michael Dukakis. “We can
win Texas. We can win America,” he
said.
Jackson’s speech dovetailed with a
move by Dukakis on Sunday to defend
liberal traditions.
Jackson said to the crowd that certain
conservative values should be cherished,
but that conservative politicians have
stood in the way of progress in civil
rights.
He said, “And if conservatives had
had their way, the sign on the Statue of
Liberty would have said, ‘No room in
the inn. You don’t have any property.
You don’t speak English. You can’t
come.’ But the liberal tradition said,
‘Give me your poor, your huddled
masses.’”
He said liberals have fought for Medi
care, Social Security and housing for the
poor. Jackson added that Bush runs a
campaign implying that civil liberties are
subversive. “We must stand for civil lib
erties,” he said.
Jackson said Bush was raising false is
sues, such as the Pledge of Allegiance,
while Dukakis addressed issues impor
tant to the country.
watch his lips; I say as these people
march, using their right to vote, watch
their hips,” Jackson said after reaching
the courthouse.
Dukakis, campaigning in Calfomia on
Sunday, said he is a liberal in the tradi
tion of former presidents Franklin D.
Roosevelt, Harry Truman and John F.
Kennedy.
Supporters of Bush have used the
image of the Massachusetts governor as
a liberal to attract conservative and mod
erate voters.
“When he properly defines liberalism
and liberation as expanding the democ
racy to make room for the common peo
ple, it is the highest and best tradition of
Roosevelt and John Kennedy and (farm
worker leader Cesar) Chavez and Martin
Luther King and the Statue of Liberty,”
Jackson said.
In other developments Monday:
— Republican Railroad Commis
sioner Kent Hance announced that he
had been endorsed by four former com
mission chairmen, all Democrats. The
first Republican to serve on the commis
sion that regulates oil and gas and trans
portation, Hance is seeking election to
complete the term to which Gov. Bill
Clements appointed him in 1987.
Poll: Mayor’s
tax support
hurt career
“The problem is not at all about salut
ing the flag,” Jackson said. “The prob
lem is that most Americans in the textile
industry who used to grow the cotton or
weave it, who used to make those flags
now do not have their jobs. They have
the Cotton Bowl once a year. They don’t
have the textile industry the rest of the
year. ’ ’
He blasted the current Reagan-Bush
administration for economic problems
and foreign policy disasters. Of the na
tional debt and trade deficit, he said,
“That’s not conservatism. That’s ridicu
lous.
“We’re becoming overdependent
again on foreign oil, foreign capital and
foreign energy with oilwells capped in
Texas, Oklahoma and Lousiana,” he
said. “Let’s uncap these wells. Let’s put
America back to work”.
HOUSTON (AP) — A controversial
tax increase passed in September appar
ently has caused some political damage
for four-term Mayor Kathy Whitmire, a
newspaper poll shows.
In a survey taken Oct. 22-25, the
mayor received a 48 percent favorable
rating, while 41 percent viewed her unfa
vorably, the Houston Chronicle reported
Monday. Eleven percent said they were
unsure.

In Edinburg earlier Monday, Jackson,
wearing a red bandanna on his arm in
support of the United Farm Workers
union, led a march of about 200 students
and farm workers from Pan American
University about one-half mile to the Hi
dalgo County Courthouse. The goal was
to bring out early absentee voters for Du-
kakis-Bentsen.
Marchers chanted, “Keep hope alive.
Vote.”
“George Bush, as he wants to cut off
housing and national health care, says
A poll conducted for the newspaper in
May showed that Whitmire — who is ex
pected to seek a fifth term next year —
was viewed favorably by 56 percent and
unfavorably by 41 percent, with 3 per
cent unsure.
“There’s a lot of vulnerability there,”
said University of Houston political sci
entist Richard Murray, who directed the
Oct. 22-25 survey of 391 Houston vot
ers.
“The tax increase has driven her
image down, but the bad news has been
in the off-season,” he said, referring to
the year-long wait before her next re-
election bid. “The downside of that
ought to be gone by then. ’ ’
When asked if they wanted to see
Whitmire re-elected or would prefer to
see someone else elected mayor next
year, 25 percent said they wanted her re
elected, 56 percent preferred someone
else, and 19 percent were unsure.
The question traditionally brings a
negative response for longtime incum
bents, Murray said. But he added that
the negative response in Whitmire’s case
is relatively high.
