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

[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. ”
