EL PASO (AP) — More than half of
Texas’ registered Hispanic voters went
to the polls and more than three-quarters
of them voted for Michael Dukakis — a
trend that some believe could fore
shadow bitter politics in the Lone Star
State’s future.
“In some counties, we may be having
two parties — one brown, one white,”
said Dr. Bob Brischetto, executive direc
tor of the Southwest Voter Research In
stitute in San Antonio. “This well could
be the beginning of a strong polarization
along ethnic and party lines. ”
Officials caution that liberalized ab
sentee-voting means it will be days be
fore accurate estimates on Hispanic turn
out are available. But Andy Hernandez,
executive director of the Southwest
Voter Registration Education Project, es
timated Tuesday night that 650,000, or
55 percent, of the registered Hispanics
voted in this year’s election. In 1984, the
figure was 49 percent, he said.

Exit polls by NBC and SVREP
showed that 79 percent to 82 percent of
Texas Hispanics voted for the Spanish
speaking Dukakis — higher than the 73
percent of Texas Hispanics who voted
for Walter Mondale in 1984.
Such statistics held up even in conser
vative Lubbock County, said Maria
Luisa Mercado, vice chairman of the
Mexican-American Democrats of Texas
and an assistant state attorney general in
Lubbock.
She said there was a backlash against
Republican Party radio advertisements in
the Rio Grande Valley in which an an
nouncer warned in Spanish that officials
will be watching for voting by non-citi
zens, and against Republican Secretary
of State Jack Rains for sending poll-
monitors to minority precincts.
“That does not invite a good view of
the Republican Party,” Mercado said.

BROWNSVILLE (AP) — A federal
judge has fined Alamo Bank of Texas
$750,000 for drug-related currency vio
lations committed by another Lower Rio
Grande Valley bank before Alamo ac
quired it last year.
U.S. District Judge Filemon Vela said
he was sending a warning to area finan
cial institutions Tuesday when he as
sessed a $250,000 fine on one count of
failing to report currency transactions
over $10,000, and ordered Alamo to pay
within 30 days.
He assessed $500,000 on two other
counts, but suspended those two fines
and placed the bank on three years’ pro
bation.
He said that he feels he must do some
thing that informs every financial institu
tion in the Rio Grande Valley of the obli
gation to comply with federal currency
laws designed to prevent money laun
dering.

The three were customers of the Pharr
bank.
Alamo Bank was assessed the fine as
successor to Central Bank of Pharr, after
pleading no contest to three counts of
failing to report cash transactions total
ing $1.78 million.
Fitch in early October said his bank
was aware of the problems involving the
cash transactions when it purchased the
Pharr bank.

Alamo Bank officials, however, said
they were preparing to appeal the deci
sion.
“On appeal, we trust that the higher
courts will agree with our position that
justice will not be preserved if Alamo

commit,” Allen Shields, bank president,
said.
Jeffrey Fitch, senior vice president peal in a 7-1 decision,

Alamo was indicted on Dec. 15, 1987,
on eight counts of currency transactions
and conspiracy violations, as successor
in interest to the bank it had acquired
eight months earlier.
Among other grounds, Webb claimed
the evidence failed to support the jury’s
verdict that he intentionally killed Cantu
during a kidnapping.

majority opinion.

Republican Paul Roberts died after the
date passed for removal of names from
ballots. In Tuesday’s election, Roberts
won 4,076 votes, while Democrat Jay
Kirkman II collected 1,879 votes and
write-in candidate Harold Cliver, also a
Democrat, collected 521. The dead-man
winner wasn’t the only twist to the race.
Kirkman is under indictment by a grand
jury.
Kirkman and Cliver attributed the un
usual outcome to straight-ticket Republi
can voters.
“I think it’s a trend down the whole
ballot from the national ticket,” Kirkman
said. “Everybody voted straight Republi
can. I look down the ticket, and it’s the
same in every race. ’’
Cliver said, “A lot of people just went
in there and punched the ‘R’ button. ’ ’
