6AJThf Cwrunllf Now STATE ConOiHMd from Psqc 1 A Hartnett Inglis. Continued from Page 1 A Campbell whose preference for Hartoett was pronounced. "Obviously, the message is that the national party and state party have pushed very hard for him (Hartnett) and have been sue- cessful," Thompson said. Thompson has offered an array of proposals, from a system of un- derground railroads to replace or augment the Interstate highway system to colonizing the moon. In addition, Thompson has ad- vocated: Barring persons with doctoral degrees from education-related federal boards unless they have at least five years of class- room teaching experience; strip-ping repeat felons of their citizenship and offering foreign countries money to accept them.

television campaign to re-introduce himself to new voters and to paint himself as the conservative who gets things done. "I wish I had $2 million to spend, I have less than $1 million now," be said. Endorsing a spectrum of ideas from tern limits to health care coverage to welfare revisions, Hartnett hopes to ride the momentum that political leaders may spring from an anti-incumbent mood among voters that Republican leaders are seeking to encourage. Hartnett probably will be outgunned financially. Thompson struggled from the start against a state Republican hierarchy led by Gov.

Carroll In Laurens County, which has a handful of precincts in the 4th District, Inglis received 12 votes with all of the precincts reporting. McCuen received two votes, and Fowler received none. Besides Mrs. Patterson, Inglis also will face Libertarian Jo Jor-gensen of Greenville in November. In the 6th District Democratic primary: Clyburn, of Columbia received 39,880 votes.

State Sen. Herbert Fielding, 69, of Charleston received 9,046 votes. State Sen. Frank Gilbert, 58, of Florence received 10,918 votes. Civil rights activist John Roy Harper, 52, of Columbia received 2,649 votes.

South Carolina State University professor Ken Mosely, 43, of Orangeburg received 9,416 votes. In the 6th District Republican primary, with 333 precincts of 360 reporting, results show: Chase, 39, who is white, received 5,369 votes, or 57 percent Former congressional aide Delores DaCosta, 33, of Charleston, got 2,402 votes. State Department of Health and Environmental Control board member Toney Graham, 45, of Lake City, had 1,626 votes. In the 5th District, the primary winner will take on Democratic voting ended, sounding his time for-a change message. "If nothing else, I think I represent change, a fresh approach to government, something differ' ent," the one-time member of Congress said.

He also renewed his call for debates to contrast the differences between himself and Hollings. Hartnett treated the primary contest as little more than a nuisance and focused most of his barbs on Hollings from the start "What is Fritz Hollings going to do for South Carolina in the next six years that he hasn't had a chance to do in the last 26 years?" Hartnett told supporters. "Like it or not, he has now got to deal with Tommy Hartnett as the Republican nominee for U.S. Senate." Hollings has dismissed the attacks as Republican "boilerplate." "Instead of two of them bashing me all year long, now we'll have one," said Hollings. "Enough of this read my lips nonsense.

It's read my record. It tells the story," Hollings said in a statement from his campaign. Hollings said he would continue to advertise on television. During the spring and summer Hollings spent about $350,000 on a a Libertarian before maturing in his political views. "I was determined not to be down tonight, no matter what happened," McCuen said Tuesday night as he chatted with sup- Eorters at his campaign eadquarters.

"Far too many positive things came out of this campaign." Fowler, a 43-year-old building contractor from Travelers Rest, might have been the most visible candidate to motorists for his campaign tactic of passing out literature at busy intersections. "I just didn't have enough people," he said. "Somebody had to win. Somebody had to lose, and somebody had to be in the middle. I guess I ended up on the end." Inglis won all four counties that have precincts in the district.

In Greenville County, he received 8,921 votes, or about 77 percent, according to unofficial totals. McCuen received 1,839 votes, or about 16 percent; Fowler received 768 votes, or about 7 percent In Spartanburg County, Inglis had another large victory margin. He received 67 percent of the vote, or 1270 votes. Fowler came in second, with votes, or 18 percent. McCuen had 16 percent of the vote, or 2,915 votes.

In Union County, Inglis received 95 votes, compared with nine for Fowler and four for McCuen with all precincts was excited about winning, particularly by such a large margin. He said he realizes that a lot of people think it's impossible to beat an entrenched incumbent, but he hopes some of the anti-incumbent sentiment nationwide will overlap into his race against Mrs. Patterson. "The only way to change the United States is to change the U.S. Congress," he said.

"If we think we will get anything different by sending back the same members of Congress, we've lost our minds. Mrs. Patterson already has defeated three Greenville County Republicans: Greenville Mayor Bill Workman; City Councilman Knox White; and state Rep. Terry Haskins. Inglis said he would stick to his campaign message of congressional reform, including abolishing political action committees and limiting terms.

"Any time you challenge an incumbent, it's going to be difficult," he said. "Our approach is going to be basically to stick to the question of, 'Are you happy with Congress now, and if you're not, let's do something about McCuen and Fowler said they would support Inglis. A Greenville architect, McCuen said he was pleased with the reception given to his positions on various issues which he termed "unusual for a Republican in this district" McCuen has said he was iCkartotte Per person, double occpy.

Clinton supporters said it also in cludes items the average voter wouia not consider a tax or an un reasonable fee. "Using the same formula for Bush, he would have raised taxes 300 times" during four years as the nation's leader, said Columbia Mayor Bob Coble, head of the has evaporated.

"Now I know why Bill Clinton likes quarterbacks: Every time he hears that word hike, he thinks that you're talking about taxes," Quayle told 300 Republicans during a brief pep talk at the opening of the state GOP campaign headquarters in Columbia. "Tax Hike Bill, you're never going to the Oval Office," he said. Repeating themes used during the Republican National Convention in Houston last week, Quayle lambasted Clinton on taxes and on family values. The latest New York Times CBS News Poll shows President Bush has lost nearly all his gain in public opinion from the convention with Clinton preferred by 51 percent of the voters to Bush's 36 percent. The survey of 903 registered voters Sunday and Monday showed the public had more interest in the economy and health care than in topics featured at the convention, such as family Clinton response team.

Lt. Gov. Nick Theodore of Greenville attacked the Bush-Quayle ticket as being out of touch with the central issue of the campaign. "They have been starring in a movie called 'Honey, I Shrunk the he said in a press conference before Quayle arrived. Theodore chastised Quayle for attending a private get-together with about 40 top state Republicans "while you ignore our empty businesses and offer no real solutions." Gov.

Carroll Campbell, co-chairman of Bush's campaign, has said the economy is growing slowly and steadily despite perceptions that it is stalled. Quayle reiterated Republican claims that Clinton supported tax and fee increases 128 times while governor of Arkansas for 11 years, a count Democrats call inflated and known to be false by the GOP. The Clinton campaign admits to 59 tax increases, including more than $260 million in tax in Republican strategists ac- xnowieaee mat planting the tax and-spend image is a key in pro tecting against erosion in Bush's Southern strongholds, countering Democratic attempts to use the GREENVILLE TECHNICAL College troubled economy for advantage. Quayle's visit comes after a whistle stop train tour in North Carolina earlier in the day. Quayle portrayed Republicans as stronger defenders of conservative standards, a theme Democrats say is an attempt to imply Clinton is unpatriotic and morally lax.
