THE
battalJ
Nov. 5 election scramble heads
for decision; turnout seen as keji
AP-President Bush barnstormed through
four battleground states on Monday in a
final appeal for Republicans in Congress
who will vote to make tax cuts permanent
and confirm conservative judges. 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

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

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."
