In many ways, his tactics echo two other incumbents with troubled presi dencies, presidents Garter and Ford. Both predecessors brought the full prestige of their office to bear in a final push to save their jobs. Like Bush, they made mad cam- Candidates' strategies mirror tactics of struggling, successful incumbants paign dashes around the country — many to places in which they shouldn't have needed to cam paign so late in the race. Both previous presidents were defeated — Republican Ford by Democrat Carter in 1976 and Carter by Ronald Reagan in 1980. Meanwhile, Democrat Bill Clin ton's endgame follows a pattern used in 1980 by Reagan — a mix of confidence and caution, a care ful attention to avoiding last- minute slips and a repetition of a core issue: the economy. Clinton and running mate A1 Gore were returning on Monday to their bus tour, a mode of cam paigning that has served them well. This time they'll roam through North Carolina. While Clinton stilly lead, polls show his adv® dropped to between;:i;| points, largely as a result! by independent RossPH 1976, 1980 and 1988, th] tightened in the last weeil campaign.

Perot provides reason for quitting rad THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — Ross Perot said in inter views released Sunday that he quit the presi dential race in July because of Republican dirty tricks, including a plan to doctor a photo graph of his daughter and give it to supermar ket tabloids. Several senior aides to President Bush la beled Perot's allegations preposterous, ''total and complete nonsense." Perot told both "60 Minutes" and the Boston Herald that a well-connected Republican friend said the GOP had used computer imag ing to doctor a photo of his daughter, Carolyn. He said Republicans also planned to disrupt her wedding. The Herald account appeared Sunday; the Perot CBS interview was airing Sunday night. "They were going to smear her with a rake pho tograph that they had done with a computer where you put a head on another body and they were actual ly going to have people in the church to disrupt her wedding," Perot told the newspaper, adding that the picture was to be given just crazy kr to supermarket tabloids. "There's nothing to it," said presidential spokesman Marlin Fitzwater. "It's preposterous ... It never happened. There haven't been any dirty tricks against Ross Perot. This business about his daughter is and he's been toldtlial mows that."

Call: 846-3278 Aggressive last-minute cam paigning by President Bush ap parently is helping the Republican incumbent pull within striking distance of Democratic challenger Bill Clinton, according to several Texas newspaper polls Sunday. Polls taken of voters through out the state last week gave vary ing degrees of support to the two frontrunner candidates, but in general, Clinton remained in the lead. Texas, with its 32 electoral votes, is crucial to the political hopes of all three major presiden tial candidates. The Houston Post reported Clinton leads Bush 39.5 percent to 34.2 percent in a poll conducted by Rice University for Houston television station KHOU and The Post. Independenbcandidate Ross Perot carried 17.8 percent of those surveyed, while 8 percent were undecided or supported none of the candidates. The poll included 650 voters surveyed between Oct. 18 and Oct. 22 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.5 percent, leav ing Bush and Clinton in a dead heat. But the Houston Chronicle re ported that Clinton is moving far ther ahead in its poll of 703 regis tered voters taken Oct. 20 through Oct. 22. In the Chronicle poll, Clinton led with 39 percent.
