George W. Bush said. “We love you here in Texas, Sen. Dole, because we know you’re a man of your word.” Bush’s parents, former President George Bush and Barbara Bush, along with U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, joined Dole and his wife Elizabeth on a stage in a strip mall parking lot in humid west Houston. Entertainers including The Oak Ridge Boys and the MTV vee jay known only as Kennedy also stood by Dole, whose voice was hoarse after 70 hours of almost nonstop campaigning. Several thousand people danced and whirled “Dole-Kemp” signs to the beat of songs like “Rescue Me” and “Respect,” performed by a “I would say to the Republicans or Democ rats or independents or members of the Reform Party, if you're concerned about America, you'd better be concerned about what happens tomorrow in the election." Bob Dole Presidential candidate live band. A handful of people were treated for heat exhaustion. Dole emphasized he could be trusted and that President Clin ton could not. “I want you to be proud and I want your children to be proud because this is an important election,” Dole said. He asked the Houstonians to get to work and convince their friends to vote. “I would say to the Republicans or Democrats or indepen dents or members of the Reform Party, if you’re concerned about America, you’d better be concerned about what happens tomor row in the election,” Dole said. He vowed to return power to the states and to the people, a theme also touched on by Mrs. Hutchison. “George (Gov. Bush) has a saying: Texans can govern Texas, thank yoy very much. And Bob Dole is going to try to make that happen,” she said. In brief remarks, former President Bush stressed the impor tance of character. “Here’s a couple of words to remember: duty, honor, country,” Bush said. Second term could mean new troubles for Clinton WASHINGTON (AP) — Bal ancing the budget and keeping the economy growing may not be President Clinton’s biggest problems if he wins re-election. The real headaches could be more Whitewater embarrass ments, hostile investigations by Congress — and even the airing of a sexual harassment suit. “The pileup is unprecedent ed,” said University of Wisconsin political scientist Charles O. lones. “Choose your scandal, any one of which could be difficult, at the very least embarrassing.” “If it’s more than that, it can par alyze the presidency, if there are impeachable offenses,” Jones said. Republicans have already pummeled Clinton’s administra tion with investigations. They have looked into Whitewater, the White House travel office firings, the borrowed FBI files, Vincent Foster’s suicide and the billing documents, belonging to Hillary Rodham Clinton’s law firm, that disappeared and then mysteri ously turned up in the White House reading room. If Republicans keep control of Congress, the investigations are sure to continue, along with a new flood of subpoenas against the White House. The first 1997 target will be foreign sources of political donations to Clinton’s campaign. Republican rival Bob Dole of fers this vision of Clinton’s fu ture: “I’m willing to say right now, if he’s re-elected he’s going to spend half his time next year with investigations.” “That stuff is an enormous pain for an administration,” said Norman Ornstein of the Ameri can Enterprise Institute. “Clearly you get a different agenda with a Democratic Congress.” A Republican Congress isn’t the only problem for Clinton. Whitewater prosecutor Ken neth Starr is already spendinJ money faster than the record setting Iran-Contra probe- more than $23 million in twt years — and shows no sign cl stopping any time soon. Starr is intensifying his inves tigation of the first lady’s won in regard to the savings and loan at the heart of the White water matter. Starr has alreadi won convictions against Clin ton’s former Whitewater pari ners, James and Susan McDou gal, as well as former Arkansal Gov. Jim Guy Tucker. “There is always the possibilir; of this adding up to Watergate il ; said Brookings Institution analyst Stephen Hess. “It doesn’t hai: those dimensions yet by an ; means, but sure it’s a possibility. I The president has not rule: out granting pardons, despilf pressure from Dole to declarehil intentions. But Hess said, “lfh| pardoned any of these people I he would be creating j firestorm.” Also looming for Clinton is:[ ; sexual harassment lawsuit fileef against him by former Arkansan state employee Paula Corbin Joneel The Supreme Court ha| agreed to decide in its current term whether to uphold Clinton]' argument that presidential imt munity requires Jones to wai until he leaves office to pursu] her case. The president has de, nied her allegations. Scandals aside, second-tenrl presidencies are notoriously un| successful. They historicallyl have a year or two before they| run out of steam. In the midtern[ elections that follow, the opposil tion party usually picks up seats in Congress, further limiting the president's power. If successful today, Clinton would be the first Democratic win two consecutive terms sinct Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1936.
