Martin said that although all candidates were allowed to speak briefly at the meeting, "no one at that meeting ever had an opportunity to vote for me to receive the endorsement," He said that after he, Hulshart and Dr.

John Ji Kar-lavage, Girardville, who has since withdrawn from the race, spoke, Michael Kitsock, Republican committee chairman, recommended that Karlavage be endorsed. Karlavage, Martin said, was voted down at that time and in a subsequent roll call vote. Kitsock, Martin said, then suggested that 14 letters from persons seeking the committee's endorsement for various ballot positions, be used as proxy votes in Karlavage's favor.

By FLORENCE BAUTSCH Assistant to the editor As Sen. Michael A.

O'Pake sees it, the attorney general of Pennsylvania should be "the people's lawyer," and not the governor's lawyer, as the Berks County Democrat believes is now the case. O'Pake, 40, who is seeking election as the state's first elected attorney general, said in a campaign visit to Pottsville that the post is second only to the governor's in the responsibility it entails. As attorney general, O'Pake said he would ensure that the law is enforced properly and fairly. He added that he also understands "the concerns and problems" of the state's citizens. "The first elected attorney general has a tremendous opportunity to set new respect for the law in Pennsylvania," O'Pake said, noting that that respect has been somewhat tarnished in the past years.

He said that his 12-years of legislative service have been characterized "with the highest reputation for honesty and integrity." O'Pake said he chaired a Senate investigation into fraud and abuse of the Medicaid program in Pennsylvania which discovered that $100 million in-medical assistance money is wasted each year in the state. The present attorney general, he said, "has been lax in not prosecuting" the people involved, he said. that the attorney general is in charge of the state's Consumer Protection Bureau, O'Pake said, "So many citizens are being ripped off by fly-by-nighters who take advantage of those who don't have the money to hire their own lawyer." The attorney general's office should be more concerned with this situation, he said. O'Pake said the attorney general's duties also include reviewing all contracts, deeds and leases entered into by the state. He said an "independent watchdog" is needed to see that no improprieties are involved in these transactions.

O'Pake, whose father was born in St. Nicholas, near Mahanoy City, has received the endorsement of the State Democratic Committee. He said he has also been endorsed by former auditor general Robert P. Casey. Born in Reading, -O'Pake graduated as Haven pastor is lecturer BETHLEHEM The Rev.
