GOP leaders are
ry about Buchanan's
:ent surge in many
w Hampshire
litical polls.
1ANCHESTER, N.H. (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.

□ The mud-slinging begins as
some surveys show Dole,
Buchanan and Alexander in a
hree-way tie for first.
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.
