Democrats worked for a strong voter turnout to tilt key races their way. “We’ll see what the voters and the Good Lord has in store tomorrow,” said Republican gubernatorial candidate Mark Sanford in South Carolina, summing up the hopes — and anxiety — of candidates everywhere. While Bush and the Democrats focused their energies on dozens of races, Minnesota Senate rivals Walter F. Mondale and Norm Coleman staged the final debate of the cam paign season. They were partially upstaged by the governor’s appointment of an interim replacement for the late Sen. Paul Wellstone. In the House, where all 435 seats are at stake on Tuesday, Democrats need a gain of seven to win control. But it was the Republicans who sounded upbeat — sug gesting they could even defy historical trends and pick up a seat or two at Bush’s midterm. The Senate is divided 49-49, with two independents, and the battle for control hinged on six or eight races judged as tossups or nearly so in the late polls. South Dakota was home to one, pitting Democratic Sen. Tim Johnson against GOP Rep John Thune. Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, the state’s other senator, worked to preserve Johnson’s Senate tenure — and his own grip on power as leader of the Democratic majority. In Minnesota, Mondale and Coleman vied for Wellstone’s seat in their only debate of a one-week campaign. The two men debated as Gov. Jesse Ventura was announcing his selection of Dean Barkley, an independent, as interim replacement for Wellstone. Wellstone died late last month in the crash of a small plane. Bush, his approval ratings over 60 per cent, worked his way from Iowa to Missouri, Arkansas and Texas, the end ot an intense effort to elect Republican governors and members of the House and Senate. “I’ll be voting in Crawford, Texas, tomorrow morning,” the president said in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. “I’m not undecided.” As he has at dozens of rallies, he stressed the importance of the war on terrorism, crit icized Iraqi President Saddam Hussein and renewed his call lor a Department of Homeland Security built to his specifica tions. Bush said judicial appointments were “a defining issue. ... And we got a problem because the leadership in the Senate has done a lousy job with my nominees.” The Democratic-control led Senate has blocked passage of bills to make portions of last year’s tax cuts permanent, citing the reappearance of budget deficits. Democrats have confinned dozens of Bush’s judicial appointees, but have blocked others they deem too conservative. While Bush was barnstorming. Democrats put their hopes in a large turnout of key constituencies, blacks and members of union households among them. “If we get the vote out, we’ll win this election,” Democratic gubernatorial candi date Bill McBride said in Rorida, where polls showed him trailing Gov. Jeb Bush. Democrats elected governors in Georgia. South Carolina and Alabama four years ago, in large measure because of strong support from black voters. Two years ago, presiden tial candidate A1 Gore ran better in several Southern states than anticipated. “I would say that minority turnout will be most influential in Louisiana, Georgia. Texas and even Colorado” in the Senate races, said Sen. Bill Frist, the head of the GOP senatorial campaign committee. Donna Brazille, a consultant to the Democrats, said the turnout effort this year includes paid radio advertisements, flyers [ill '2002 Hot issues for Tuesday’s winners Some .ssues in Tuesday s House and Senate lifcety than others to rise or fan based on wtucti pat, a maionty in Conorev, Hera s a kv* » ■ i Congt sensitive to control Taxes, Economy Mental health Sfcupcwtariwnirtk-, w»ce plans, but Reputfca : wj <- Undef the proposed idescoveaget),^^ ■dys'ta Sthsms o drop menial tatioW Drug coverage v** pnacnpeondnijcow^t,* ir hoe to do hal am u* : er a SMObHion plan tw paw •, M !»c* ou-ol-poOet emma «■, led Senate consdared M npcXi rr banaftte end soudhaa cocci Social Security One of PrwuJani Bushs mam promeetrN2081 •'■ ,i.vi Inning people take someolmercer*)i*la goes meo the SooaiSeicunlyiyitaiR and pul tag mn retnmanf accounts Moat D»mocralic»poee*i> drew may fcom Sooal Secunfy Tha smfcmg value of many mem i haa sot bach thu •utaUve Buah proOeGly can or*) nations It HepuOhcen* control both the House and Senate Judges several aane et S Otatnet Court nonaneee pul tyvatli) is < a Senate vote as eel at one ueai a* he Senate hat coermad 80 fudpsrotaK *o«ca Buah says Demme n uOKiary' Democrats say &!*>» » v« nse de recencyotssre mely divided on ttortor "n a recent on campus deba .between the [Aggie Democrai the College [Republicans, Jel [Graham, directc (Republicans, mi grants and mino Party.

NEWS IN BRIEF Perry raises speed limit in Houston area HOUSTON (AP) - Residents in the eight counties around Houston will soon see the unpopular 55 mph speed limit — imposed earlier this year as part of a dean air plan — slow ly fade in their rear view mir rors. Gov. Rick Perry on Monday announced the speed limit will be raised to 65 mph. Perry said the timing of the announcement, which came on the eve of Tuesday's election, was coincidental. While state officials had given the go-ahead to raise the speed limit, final approval was need ed from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Mark Sanders, spokesman for Tony Sanchez, Perry's Democratic opponent, called the timing of the announce ment "suspicious."
