DALLAS (AP) — President Reagan
will give a last-minute boost to George
Bush and the Texas Republican ticket
with a rally Saturday at an area rodeo
arena, said State GOP Chairman Fred
Meyer, who predicted strong turnout at
the polls.
Meyer contended Democratic vice
presidential hopeful Lloyd Bentsen, has
lost credibility with Texas voters.
Bentsen is also running for the U.S.
Senate.
The rally is scheduled for 2 p.m. at
Mesquite Rodeo Arena, which is near In
terstate 635 in the Mesquite suburb east
of Dallas.
Gov. Bill Clements, Sen. Phil
Gramm, former Sen. John Tower and
George Bush Jr. also will attend, along
with various other candidates for state
office.
“In this visit, President Reagan is
going to come in and raise our level of
enthusiasm and we are going to work
right until 7 o’clock on Nov. 8 to deliver
the biggest vote we can for George Bush
and all of the rest of our candidates,”
Meyer said.
He said voters are beginning to realize
that Bentsen, who is running against Re
publican Beau Boulter in the Senate
race, supports stands of Democratic pres
idential hopeful Michael Dukakis that
most Texans oppose.
Mark Sanders, spokesman for Bush’s
state campaign, said, “It’s the last few
days of the campaign ... we wanted to
bring out one of our biggest guns. ”
John Sharp, chairman of the Dukakis-
Bentsen campaign, said in a statement
that this “hastily pulled together Texas
schedule for President Ronald Reagan
has just been constructed.
“Combined with Gov. Dukakis’ and
Sen. Bentsen’s aggressive campaigning
of late and the release of the new poll
numbers for Texas, the Republicans are
beginning to get nervous about winning
Bush’s ‘home state’ of Texas,” Sharp
said.
“If the GOP has a ‘lock’ on Texas,
then we must ask why one of the sched
uled stops for Reagan is the Repiifc
stronghold of Dallas.
“This new ‘Reagan poll’ iscoiff
ing what our internal tracking po||j|
the public polls are revealing,” hes^
“Lloyd Bentsen’s stature an
coattails are making this a horse
Texas.”
Both Reggie Bashur, deputy
paign director for Bush’s Texas
paign, and Sanders discounted
comments.
Sanders said the visit has beenpli
for about a week.
“We’re delighted he’s coming,']
shur said, adding that officialsn
Reagan return to Texas after his l
appearance earlier in the campaign,
“We are not taking unythii
granted.” Meyer said.
"We want that big turnoutal
that Jack Rains projected.
The bigger the turnout, the biggs
Republican victory.
“I hope that 78 percent or hgti
6,(MX),(XX) voters go to the pollsonti
tion day.’’

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Millions of
Mexicans spent Wednesday at cemete
ries in observance of the Day of the
Dead, listening to music, talking to
friends and taking gifts of flowers and
food to deceased relatives who are said
to drop by for a visit.
The small cemetery of Mixquic in
southeastern Mexico City was crowded
with people cleaning and adorning the
graves of their relatives with the tradi
tional Cempasuchil flowers, a type of
marigold.
Anita Ramirez, 15, put flowers on the
grave of brother Haracio, who died when
she was only one year old.
“I came here to remember him even
though I didn’t know him really when he
was alive,” she said. “He was my
brother.”
She said her parents were among hun
dreds of vendors selling everything from
candy skulls to cardboard skeletons that
dance when you pull a string.
The Day of the Dead, which follows
All Souls Day, stretches back to the
times of the Aztecs and is a mix of be
liefs that include the ideas that the dead
are never far away and that the line be
tween life and death is blurred.
Symbols of death are everywhere in
the weeks leading up to the Day of the
Dead. Bakery shelves sport bread in the
shape of bones and sugar skulls with the
names of the dead and the living. Friends
exchange poems that jokingly refer to
each other’s funerals.
Families make altars in their homes
and fill them with flowers and the favor
ite foods of their dead relatives. The
same is done at cemeteries, where fami
lies wait to eat until they believe the dead
have had their fill.
The Day of the Dead has come under
cultural attack in recent years as many
upper class Mexicans adopted Hallow
een garb and practices, including plastic
masks and pumpkins.
Miguel Angel Munez, 24, was putting
flowers on the grave of his father, who
had died 14 years before.
‘‘We come here on this day to be with
the people we love. They say theyca
back this day and we can be witht
Munez said.
The cemetery church, San Audi
had a traditional Day of the Deadii
with a picture of Jesus Christ as aa
terpiece. Offerings of fruit, bread,a
dies, and sugar skulls crowded on tin
tar.
At the cemetery of Mixquic, in an
area east of the city, candle-holdup
dents began visiting the cemeteryTu
day night.
Official: 6 million
will vote in Texas
AUSTIN (AP) — Secretary of State
Jack Rains is predicting that nearly 6
million Texas voters will cast ballots in
this year’s general election, a record, his
office said Wednesday.
Rains projects that a total of 5.988
million of the state’s 8.2 million regis
tered voters will cast ballots, a turnout of
73 percent.
“That would be the highest number
since this office began keeping accurate
records in 1973,” Randy Erben, assis
tant secretary of state, said.
The presence of Texans on each presi
dential ticket is a big reason for the pre
diction, Erben said.
Republican presidential nominee
George Bush and the Democratic vice
presidential candidate, Sen. Lloyd Bent
sen, both are from Texas. Bentsen also is
running for re-election to the Senate.
“He (Rains) thinks Bush and Ba
sen. the (state) Supreme Courtraces.!
sentee voting liberalization and oa
factors, such as some hot local races»
a record number of registered veil
means a huge turnout,” Erben said,
Erben said that if the 73 pcrcenltn
out prediction proves accurate on
8, it will mean that 48.8 percentofalt
igiblc Texans voted, ‘‘which isalson
cord. ’ ’
In the 1984 presidential election,K
tal of 5.38 million votes were cast,if
1980 presidential total was 4.5 milfo
A big factor in this year’s highvoa
prediction is the new absentee voaj
law, which allows people tocastateii
tee ballots without giving a reason.
Absentee voting ends Friday, bulB;
ben said it already has generated rec*
interest.
