SIZI ANNOUNCING COLGATE'S PFEIFFER RED WINE DRESS. MEXICAN has always run well in heavily Democratic Jacksonville. Cren- shaw says it proves he could carry a conservative region that ordinari- ly goes to the Democrats. His hometown's scant Republi-i can registration only 30,000 vot- ers is a liability he is trying to overcome by focusing on GOP en- claves in Southwest Florida and the Gold Coast. He has a low-budget campaign, $40,000 as of July 1.

5 Lou Frey Frey, 46, won five elections in Central Florida's 9th congressional district before stepping down two years ago to wage an unsuccessful campaign for governor. Since then he has practiced law in Washington and Orlando in his old congressional specialty, communications. The 1978 race left scars. His belated and lukewarm post-primary support for Eckerd created hard feelings with some Republicans, like Eckerd's running-mate, Haw- kins. Frey apologized when he decided to run this time, but aides still groan when the subject is raised.

"Let's not keep dragging up the past," says aide Maria Fis-cella. The 1978 race did teach Frey a lesson. He staged a shoe-strings, doorbell-ringing campaign without television. Says Frey: "Last time I was the campaign manager, the scheduler, the pilot everything." This time, he plans to put most of his money into TV and hired a professional campaign management firm. So far he has the most cash, $80,000 as of July 1 and more since.

Paula Hawkins Hawkins, 53, came onto the political scene in 1972 as the "housewife from Maitland" who would champion consumers at the PSC. Steadily, she built a following by running in every statewide election since then a losing 1974 Senate race, a successful re-election bid in 1976 and a losing 1978 race as Eckerd's running mate. She left the PSC to become an executive of Air Florida, one of the firms she used to regulate, and recently moved to posh Winter Park. But she is still formidable for her recognition and her sharp tongue. She had raised $55,000 by July 1, but aides say money is rolling in now.

She is so confident of winning the primary that her campaign has targeted 16 counties with the best mix of Republican and "swing" voters who could help her in the Nov. 4 general election against the Democratic nominee. Hawkins points out that Republicans have produced only four statewide winners since Reconstruction "and I'm two of them." Ellis Rubin Rubin is best known for several highly publicized Miami legal cases, including his unsuccessful defense in the "television intoxication" trial of teenager Ronny Za-mora and his lawsuits to end local TV blackouts of National Football League home games. And he has taken a typically unorthodox approach to this campaign. He began by eschewing campaign donations but later abandoned that pledge because he said some Republicans and reporters would not take him seriously.

He had raised $4,200 by July 1. Lately, he has had one of the most arduous speaking schedules of the candidates. Rubin, 54, sets himself apart from the others with his New Right approach to domestic and foreign policy. He wants the U.S. to "sponsor wars of insurrection in countries that yearn to be free," especially to help Cuban exiles mount an invasion of their homeland.

He seeks a tough approach to the Soviet Union: "Let's not be afraid we're going to trigger a nuclear holocaust and World War III." He touts his Cold War rhetoric and South Florida ties as the best political package of the year. Aide and son Mark Rubin boasts: "Never before has anyone dared say the things he's saying. People know with Ellis Rubin, they'll get what they vote for." John Ware Ware is making his maiden statewide race after a 16-year legislative career in which he has ascended to influence in the Senate. He has been a staunch advocate of a constitutional cap on state spending, a goal he still hasn't realized. Nevertheless, Ware says his ability to work with Democrats would make him the most effective U.S.

senator, a contention he says is his biggest drawing card. He is a long-time political figure in Pinellas County, a GOP stronghold with 190,000 registered Republicans. He spends half his time trying to mine the Republican lode at home and raising money for a last-minute TV and radio campaign he wants to air in South Florida. Ware, 48, has some handicaps. He had raised only $5,000 by July 1 He has been criticized for not resigning his state Senate seat to make the race, even though the law doesn't require it.

And he has been nagged by questions about whether he is running to win or just to get some experience for a future statewide race. He insists he is serious. Americam MAKE-A-MEAL SAUCE ISOZ.
