Dole makes last
stop in Houston
HOUSTON (AP) —Texans waved American flags and the smell
of barbecue filled the air Monday as the Bush family rallied
around Bob Dole in the final hours of the Republican candidate’s
run for the White House.
“I told you this the last time you were here, and I’m even more
certain of it now: Come tomorrow, Texas will vote for the next
president, Bob Dole,” Texas Gov. 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."

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.
