(AP) - four days after he quit the Re- lican presidential race, Texas Phil Gramm endorsed Bob on Sunday and warned the :ess and image of the Republi- Party rested on keeping the dnation from Pat Buchanem. [ believe that Bob Dole is the Republican candidate in this today who can bring together lomic conservatives and who bring together social conserv es and who can make the Re- lican Party again one united ty that is committed to beating Clinton and committed to nging America,” Gramm said elivering his support. ’ublicly, party leaders not in- ed in the race have professed trality. “I’m not going to get in Sen. Gramm the middle,” House Speaker Newt Gingrich said Saturday when asked about the contentious race. But Gin grich has pri vately voiced alarm to asso ciates about Buchanan’s early strength, and he is hard ly a lone voice among GOP es- tablishment figures. “They are in terminal panic,” Buchanan said Sunday, rallying his crowds by suggesting he was coming under attack because GOP establishment figures feared he was about to seize con trol of the party. Most senior Gramm support ers among elected Republican of ficials have quickly rallied to Dole’s side. In addition to Gramm, this group includes Ari zona Sen. John McCain and Texas Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison. Yet there remain deep doubts in the party about Dole’s strength, with the next 10 days viewed as the crucial test. Dole’s backing among senators and gov ernors will be sorely tested if he loses New Hampshire — even more so if former Tennessee Gov. Lamar Alexander fares well. This is the major reason Dole is clos ing the New Hampshire cam paign with ads criticizing Alexan der for raising taxes while gover nor and for suggesting the state create an income tax. Dole picked up another en- dorsement Sunday night from former Delaware Gov. Pete du Pont, who said the top three can didates in the race were “a protectionist, a Sen. Dole moderate and a conservative. ... Bob Dole is carrying Ronald Rea gan’s banner in the 1996 election. Bob Dole is the conservative.” In accepting Gramm’s endorse ment, Dole shrugged off their caustic campaign exchanges. “It was never personal,” the Senate majority leader said. And, without mentioning Buchanan, he picked up Gram m’s theme that it was critical for the party not to be divided — a remark clearly delivered with Buchanan in mind. “We have got to bring the eco nomic and the social conserva tives together,” Dole said. “You can’t divide us and expect to win in November.” Gramm had planned to en dorse Dole next week in South Carolina. But Dole campaign aides urged moving up the event — even though Gramm had only modest support in New Hamp shire — on the belief that every last vote could matter in a tight, volatile race with Buchanan and Alexander. About a dozen prominent Gramm supporters were on hand for the event, many still wearing Gramm lapel pins as they slapped on Dole campaign stickers. lepublican rivals must defend their pasts to survive New Hampshire presidential primary d off for , thoufi /cry ei® i gentle- i greatly re- ons eight woos the ? estate, g Anne lay.

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Republican ri vals Bob Dole, Pat Buchanan and Lamar Alexander wrestled with their pasts Sun- lay as they tried to shore up prospects for vinning — or just surviving — the New Hampshire presidential primary. With two days to go before the pivotal lontest, the race has grown increasingly rolatile. For Dole, deadlocked with Bucha nan for first place in weekend polling data, ;very vote is crucial. Dole moved up a planned endorsement ny former rival Phil Gramm even though polls showed the Texas senator had mini mal support here when he quit the race last week. Some surveys released this weekend in- •luded Alexander in a three-man tie for first, hile others placed him solidly behind Dole : and Buchanan. Publisher Steve Forbes has steadily sunk to a distant fourth. Fighting for an outright win, Buchanan defended controversial statements on women and race from his earlier cam paigns and editorial writings by saying Sunday “the statute of limitations has run out on those things.” Dole, haunted by the 1988 loss here which knocked him out of that race, tried Sunday to lower the stakes in Tuesday’s balloting — though he had insisted earlier it would determine the nominee. "Senator Dole is running a negative, des perate campaign." — Lamar Alexander Tennessee governor “I probably should have said if Bob Dole wins New Hampshire, Bob Dole would be the nominee,” the Senate majority leader said on ABC. “If we don’t win New Hamp shire, we’ll win North and South Dakota.” By an evening rally in Exeter, Dole was considerably more upbeat: “I smell victory in the air. We will start ending the era of Bill Clinton on Tuesday night here.” In his own appearance on the television news shows, Alexander was again dogged by questions about his lucrative financial dealings and his 1985 proposal to enact a state income tax — issues raised in new Dole ads. “Senator Dole is running a negative, desperate campaign. His campaign must show me moving up very rapidly if that’s all he has to say about bur future,” Alexan- der said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” He denied any financial wrongdoing and pledged not to raise marginal income tax rates if elected president. In a last-minute frenzy of ac tivity, candidates swarmed morning news shows before navigating the slushy streets for more old- fashioned New Hampshire politicking. Their field organizations also kicked into high gear, deploying volunteers to church parking lots where they papered windshields with campaign literature.
