In addition to replacing Clinton, (he people were electing all 435 members of the I louse. 34 senators and 1 1 governors, filling their state legislatures and settling 204 ballot issues in 42 states, ranging from legalizing marijuana in Alaska to fluoridating the water in San Antonio, Texas.

Despite millions of automated phone calls and Waves of television advertising, analysts predicted that fewer than half the adult population would vote, about the same as the miljion who cast balhits in I Wo With peace and prosperity both at hand and not big issues, the fight was chiefly over how to divide the spoils: in the big tax cuts the Texas governor proposes or in shoring up Medicare, Social Security und education, as the vice president favors Bush portrayed himself as more trustworthy and capable of ending bickering in Washington "a uniter." (iorc said his two decades in government give him the experience to prevail in taking on the special interests. "You need someone who will fight for you and win and has the experience to do so," he argued. Bush led in most national polls and enjoyed a potentially decisive enthusiasm edge among likely voters. But (lore held fragile leads in many of the swing states that may decide the tion. An unusually large number of states were in the tossup camp Florida, New Hampshire, West Virginia, Ohio, Michigan, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Oregon, Washington, Wisconsin and New Mexico among them.

Even Gore's Tennessee and Clinton's Arkansas were close calls. Bush was safe in Texas, where he has been a popular two-term governor, and had a lock on most of the South, Gore's task was complicated by "Clinton fatigue" -r- a weariness of the sex scandal that led to an impeachment ordeal and by the base-eroding threat posed by the insurgent Nader, who argued both major parties are captives of the same corporate If Nader can win percent of the national vote, his Green Party would be assured of federal financing in 2004, The election's apparent closeness raised the remote possibility of a Bush victory in the popular vote but a Gore edge where it counts in the Electoral College, where each state has as many votes as it has seats in Congress. Such outcomes have occurred three times in U.S. history, most recently in 1888. The battle for Congress after six years of Republican dominance was just as murky.

Democrats hoped to regain control of the Senate, where the GOP holds sway, 54-46, and the House, where Republicans hold a 222-209 majority, with two independents and two vacancies. And a Senate tie was possible, with the new vice president cither Republican Dick Cheney or Democrat Joseph Lieberman casting the vote to decide which party controls. Or Sen. Liebcrman, still on Connecticut's ballot for re-election, could win the vice presidency, forcing him to resign from the Senate and possibly throw the chamber to the GOP. For the first time in history, a president's wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton, sought election to the Senate.

She faced Republican Rep. Rick Lazio in New York, nominated when prostate cancer caused New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani to abandon plans to run. In five states, women were major-party candidates. for governor, including Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota, battling her Republican opponent while also battling breast cancer. In Missouri, Senate.

Democratic candidate Mel Carnahan remained on the ballot despite the Oct, 16 plane crash that killed him. Carnahan's successor as governor, Roger Wilson, 'promised to appoint Carnahan's widow to the seat if Republican incumbent John Ashcroft loses.

The polls FDA From page 1A Even though manufacturers learned three weeks ago that the FDA was preparing to act, when the agency's scientific advisers declared PPA unsafe, many scrambled Monday to decide what to do. Top-selling manufacturers that refused to reveal their plans include Novartis maker of PPA-con-taining Triaminic and Tavist-D; Bayer maker of Alka-Seltzer Plus cold medicines; and Chattem maker of Dexatrim diet pills. About 6 billion doses of PPA are sold in this country each year, mostly without prescriptions. There are a few PPA-containing prescription decongestants, and the FDA asked their makers also to stop selling them. While the risk of a hemorrhagic stroke, or bleeding in the brain, is very small to an individual user, these are often deadly strokes, and survivors can be left disabled.

With millions of Americans Swallowing PPA daily, the FDA estimated it could be to blame for 200 to 500 strokes yearly just in people under age Hemorrhagic strokes typically occur in the elderly, and are extremely rare under age 50. In the 1980s, however, medical journals cited several dozen young women who suddenly had strokes days after taking their first PPA-containing diet pill, On the Net: FDA's PPA Information: httpywww.fda.govcderdruginfopageppad efault.htm IT easily to panamlc lenses vision crtxal Collins person in Precinct 2 at Sterne-Brun-son Elementary School in Benton Harbor, said, "A lot of people don't come and vote until a presidential election.
