proves th
Richards, Bush compete in dead heat
The Princeton Review is not affiliated with
ETS or Princeton Tm vers,tv
(AP)- According to a new opinion poll,
the governor’s race is virtually a dead heat,
with Republican challenger George W.
Bush holding a one percentage point lead
over Democratic incumbent Ann Richards.
The Texas Poll, published Tuesday in sev
eral newspapers, gave Bush
45 percent support, Richards
44 percent and Libertarian
Keary Ehlers 1 percent. Ten
percent were undecided.
“If ever there was a race
too close to call, the 1994
Texas governor’s race is it,”
said Candace Windel, the
poll’s director.
“Given the four percent- Richards
age point margin of error
inherent in a survey sample of this size, a
rainstorm or a traffic jam could decide it.
The outcome all depends on who turns out
to vote and how mad they are when they
do,” she said.
The Texas Poll was conducted Oct. 6-15
for Harte-Hanks Communications Inc. by
the Office of Survey Research of the Uni
versity of Texas College of Communica
tions. The telephone survey of 675 likely
voters had a margin of error of plus or mi
nus four percentage points.
The poll, the latest in a series of surveys,
showed Bush continuing to climb slightly from
the 39 percent support he had a year ago.
Richards, who had 47 percent support in
each of four previous Texas Polls since the
fall of 1993, slipped for the first time. The
change was within the poll’s margin of error.
“The polls show this is still up in the air
and up for grabs,” Bush said Tuesday. “I re
ally do believe I’m going to win. I can feel it.
I can see it.”
Richards spokesman Chuck McDonald
said the 'poll surveyed too few women and
that skewed the results. “This poll is 52
percent male and 48 percent female, when
in 1990 the vote was 53 percent female and
47 percent male,” McDonald said.
In other political developments:
— The Houston Post reported that Bush,
who took eight months to notify the govern
ment of his sale of stock in a company on
whose board he served, also missed the filing
deadline for reporting other trades involving
Harken Energy.
* The newspaper, citing Securities and Ex
change Commission records, said it found ad
ditional instances in which Bush “ran afoul of
the SEC rule requiring notification within 10
days of the end of the month in
transaction took place.”
Bush’s lawyer, Robert Jordan, said, id 1
recall right now whether they (filed)tbfj
timely as the rule literally suggests ornof
— Geraldine Ferraro, the 1984Deni
ratic vice presidential nominee,t!;[
paigned for Richards. “This raceisi
about Ann Richards. Without yourlit : |
the door of open government is
slam shut on election day if Gov. I
is not re-elected,” she told a Monday
gathering of about 500 Richards support
in Austin.
Karen Hughes, a spokeswoman for
lican gubernatorial candidate Georgei
Bush, said, “The campaign visit of Geralife | Mosq
Ferraro is reflective of the national liberals)
forts to help their soulmate.”

JENNINGS, Mo. (AP) — A
man who apparently tried to
kill himself by turning on the
gas and blowing up his home
survived the explosion that de
molished at least five houses
and damaged dozens of others.
James Kimble, 32, was in
critical condition at St. John’s
Mercy Medical Center on
Tuesday with second- and
third-degree burns over near
ly half of his body. He also
suffered a deep skull wound
and a broken leg and ankle.
Police Chief James Tren-
tham said Kimble hadn’t re
gained consciousness since
shortly after his house blew
up Sunday afternoon.
He was wearing only a pair
of white briefs when emer
gency workers found him
dazed and nearly buried in the
rubble of the one-story home
he rented. Rescuers said he
was waving an arm for help
when they arrived.
No one else was home at
the time and no one else in
the neighborhood was seri
ously hurt, although the blast
damaged about 40 homes and
businesses.
On Monday, a television
reporter found a sheet of pa
per that appeared to be part
of a suicide letter about 100
yards from the blast. Two
other pages of the letter, dat
ed Oct. 13 and signed by Kim
ble, were later recovered.
“It says he was despon
dent over family problems
and evidently he was using
some type of drugs,” Tren-
tham said.
Investigators found a line
to the home’s natural gas fur
nace had been disconnected.
Trentham said it was a
miracle that Coleman, who
was in the basement at the
time, survived.
“He could have easily end
ed up in the trees with the
rest of the debris,” he said.
Five houses have been con
demned and others may have
to be, Trentham said.
If Kimble recovers, Tren
tham said he would face
charges of endangering the
lives of other people and
would be held responsible for
the $2 million in damage.
A neighbor, Sharon Cole
man, said Kimble hadn’t left
the house for two weeks. The
self-employed construction
contractor was recently sepa
rated from his wife.
