ballot access, keeping the Indiana * election system from being closed to third parties. In the long run, this Senatorial race is clearly between Democrat and Republican, with some Clinton backlash thrown in. U.S. House of Representatives 10th Congressional District Julia Carson was not expected to win the 19% primary. She was behind in the polls, far outspent and outpromoted. But her grassroots, no nonsense, yet caring efforts won the day. This election is very different. The Clinton scandals have put the Democrats in disarray, and victory even their urban strongholds is far from guaranteed. When the Rev. Jesse Jackson was in Indy last week, he noted, “Julia Carson’s approach is one of inclusion. She understands women’s rights. She knows about the tribulations of battered women. She brings a certain sensitivity to the table. Unlike her opponent, Julia Carson knows how to and has built coalitions.’’ This could well be the most difficult political challenge she has yet to face, and a strong voter turnout would work in her

favor.

Gary Hofmeister, father of three, and successful business-

man,

shrewd campaign, targeting 12,000-Cathott© voters with ‘Right to Life’ «|dschool choice literature. One local paper revealed that, “ ...a Republican polL.showed Hofmeister leading Carson among likely voters..” Hofmeister is optimistic that his message (what has become the standard Republican platform) of family values, anti-abortionism, tough against crime, fiscal and political conservatism, will ring true in the ears of those people who actually get out and vote. Fred Peterson, an inspector in aGM plant, is running on the Libertarian platform, campaigning for lower taxes, improving education, eliminating government from personal or private areas. His candidacy is, however, not very highly publicized. This Congressional election may go down to the wire your vote will count as much as it ever has. * State Treasurer The race for State Treasurer could result in the election of an African American to the office because two of the three candidates are Black. The Democratic Candidate, Ckq Washington, and Republican Tim Berry are running a race that the Star/Hews poll concluded was “too close to call.” Cleo Washington, an African American State Senator from South Bend, understands that the Treasurer plays a crucial role in investing Indiana’s $4.8 billion dollar portfolio. He wants to ensure that local communities receive the financial tuDoort reqaired todeve nmmmajan, i
