State Rep. Dan Morales, chairman of the House Criminal Jurispru dence Committee, said he will ask Gov. Bill Clements to open the agenda oFthe November special leg islative session to include his legis lation. “Getting dealers off the streets has got to remain a top state priority,” Morales, D-San Antonio, said at a news conference. Clements has said he will call legis lators back into a special session Nov. 14 to work on the state workers’ compensation system. The gover nor, who controls what legislation can be considered in special session, has declined to say what, if any, other issues he will open for consid eration. But Morales, a Democratic Party candidate for state attorney general, said he was confident Clements would open the session for the pro posals because the public is “fed up with rhetoric and I think they’re going to demand action.” a death sentence in cases wherj person was convicted of muriij during a drug deal. Morales said the life-in-prisonij would clean the streets of betttfj 50 to 100 drug dealers annually. “Individuals who have showni 66 Individuals who have shown time and again that they are ready, willing and able to deal drugs to our kids, and other members of the public have lost the right to walk among us as free human beings.” — Dan Morales, state representative One of Morales’ bills would allow a court to assess life in prison with out parole to persons convicted of selling large quantities of hard drugs who have a prior conviction.

Richards optimistic over poll; Mattox scoffs AUSTIN (AP) — State Treasurer Ann Richards’ campaign Monday voiced optimism over results of a new opinion poll showing her run ning substdhtially ahead of Attorney General Jim Mattox, who scoffed at the survey. “We’re guardedly optimistic,” said Glenn Smith, Richards’ campaign manager. “I believe it shows that when you run a positive campaign, positive things happen.” Mattox, meanwhile, shrugged off the survey which showed him with 8 percent support among likely 1990 Democratic primary voters. Mattox, who has raised some $4 million for the race although he hasn’t formally declared, said the findings were “inconsistent with our polling data and with other polls that have been floating around the state. I am not seeking the governorship because of polls, but because I want to make some changes in our state.” The poll was published Sunday by the Houston Chronicle and the Dal las Morning News. The survey of 459 likely Demo cratic voters, taken Sept. 5-13, showed Richards with 35 percent support; former Gov. Mark White, 23 percent; Mattox, 8 percent; for mer Gov. Dolph Briscoe, 7 percent; and state Sen. John Montford, 2 per cent. Twenty-five percent were un sure or favored no one. The margin of error of the survey is plus or minus 5 percentage points. Those surveyed were among 1,024 registered voters interviewed across the state in key urban and rural pre cincts to determine early voter lean ings. On the Republican side, Railroad Commission Chairman Kent Hance led among likely GOP primary vot ers. Of the 384 who said they would likely vote in the GOP primary March 13, Hance had the support of 33 percent; Midland businessn Clayton Williams, 12 percent; foi mer Secretary of State Jack Rains,! percent; and Dallas lawyer Luce, 1 percent.
