Advertisements feature nominees for chief justice AUSTIN (AP) — Former prominent Democrats John Hill and John Connally — now a Republican — are featured in new television ads that virtually blanket the state for GOP Chief Justice Tom Phillips, who is from the Texas Supreme Court. Meanwhile, Phillips’ Democratic op ponent, Justice Ted Robertson, claims that Phillips’ self-imposed limit on cam paign contributions “is nothing more than a sham.” A 30-second TV advertisement for Phillips shows former Gov. Connally saying, “Tom Phillips has everything it takes to be a great chief justice — intelli gence, judgment and above all, integ rity.” Former Atttorney General Hill’s mes sage is basically the same as Connally’s ad. Phillips campaign consultant Karl Rove told reporters the ad with Connally is running in the more Republican areas 5 p.m. at ASM right, institute titute Building Christian's jour- Research Park, neeting at 6:45 r : will meet to bash at 6 p.m, WOMEN: wil card and more. upreme Court candidate reuses state of political ploy sed McDonald.

II you [USTIN (AP) — Charles Ben Howell, a [alias appeals court judge and Republi- in candidate for the Texas Supreme lourt, claimed Wednesday that his repri- iand by the State Commission on Judi- ial Conduct was politically motivated. I “I don’t know when they’ve ever is- lied any kind of a reprimand or any ■her type of sanction against any judge Hithin a week of the election,” Howell said. I On Tuesday, the commission that dis- ■plines judges issued a public reprimand — the strongest action it can take short df seeking a judge’s removal — against Howell for filing a lawsuit “in bad faith’’ in a personal land dispute. ■ The commission ruled that Howell vi- plated provisions in the Code of Judicial ||onduct and “acted in a manner that brought discredit to the judiciary” by fil- . ing a lawsuit that a jury in 1985 con cluded never should have been filed. Howell said the commission started investigating in June 1986 and held a hearing in November 1987. “Why does this Democrat-dominated commission suddenly issue a reprimand concerning a case that is still on appeal? And, why do they do it just one week be fore the election? The situation reeks of politics,” he said. Although the Judicial Conduct Com mission has publicly rebuked two Demo cratic Supreme Court justices and a Democratic appeals court judge in Austin within the past two years, Howell con tended that as a Republican he hadn’t re ceived fair treatment. Robert Flowers, executive director of the commission, was out of his office Wednesday and not immediately avail able for comment, his secretary said. The commission’s investigations are confidential. Howell also filed a five-part complaint against his election opponent, Supreme Court Justice Raul Gonzalez, a Demo crat. Gonzalez said the complaint was just as “frivilous” as the lawsuit over which Howell was reprimanded. “I’m not surprised that he filed this complaint,” Gonzalez said. “He’s done this in every election against all his op ponents. This is just the way he operates. He’s trying to divert attention from the fact that he’s the one who’s been repri manded by the State Commission on Ju dicial Conduct, he’s the one that the jury found filed a frivolous lawsuit.” Howell asked for a ruling on his com plaint by Monday, the day before the election. “lam giving the commission a chance to redeem itself, a chance to demonstrate that it dispenses justice both to Republi cans and Democrats,” Howell said. Among other things, Howell’s com plaint accused Gonzalez of accepting campaign contributions from parties with cases pending before the court and of making inaccurate allegations in cam paign advertising about Howell. of West Texas, the Panhandle and North Central Texas, and the Hill advertise ment is running in South Texas and East Texas. Another Phillips advertisement, shown in all markets except Laredo, says every major Texas newspaper endorses Phillips. Robertson, in a statement, said it has been “common knowledge for months that the $5,000 cap offered by the ‘re form’ campaign of Judge Tom Phillips is nothing more than a grandstanding trick to fool the voters.” “The fact of the matter is that the Phil lips campaign has been using the phony cap to raise more money than has ever been raised by any Supreme Court candi date in Texas history — all behind the mask of ‘clean’ politics,” Robertson said. “To rid this election of the spectre of corruption. Chief Justice Phillips should return the monies raised in flagrant defi ance of the spirit, and not just the letter of his own self-imposed contribution cap,” Robertson said. Yet another statewide TV advertise ment, for Democratic Justice William Kilgarlin, was criticized in an editorial in The Dallas Morning News as being “un derhanded.” Kilgarlin campaign consultant Richard Jenson said the advertisement identified Republican opponent Nathan Hecht as the “hand-picked” candidate of Gov. Bill Clements, and said Hecht had re ceived 82 percent of his campaign contri butions from special interests and had been endorsed by corporate law firms and insurance interests. The advertisement also calls Kilgarlin the “leader of the (court) reform movement,” Jenson said in a telephone interview. Hecht, a Dallas appeals judge, said, “As far as I know, he has not used the word ‘reform’ all year long, and now he says he’s the leader of the reform movement.” “Negative campaigning is one thing. False is something else,” Hecht said in an interview. Campaign consultant Rove said, “1 think the vast majority of people ... a significant plurality of the people are still looking for cues. “They know something is wrong. ” iration grad- id stores al liege of Vet- 1988 Distin- ’ until he re director of - have been ; Excellence ?
