"They'll leave one way or' the other, either soft or hard," he said yesterday on NBC's "Meet the Press." Sen. Minority Leader Bob Dole, said he assumed the invasion would come in the next two or three weeks, and promised that he and other opponents in Congress will offer legislation challenging President Clinton's authority to send troops into Haiti. "The administration doesn't have a case to make," Dole said on CBS "Face the Nation." Another" leading Haiti critic, Sen. John McCain, said on NBC that most of Congress outside the Congressional Black Caucus is "strenuously opposed" to use of U.S. forces.

He predicted that army chief Lt. Gen. Raoul Cedras and his allies would lead popular uprisings if Aristide is restored to power, and said Christopher's prediction that a mostly non-American U.N. peacekeeping force could take over within a few months of an invasion was "very, very optimistic." that the American people are "reluctant" to use U.S. forces to restore democracy in Haiti, and that, at the present time, support in Congress is thin.

But he said "there's an important issue of credibility "Tiere" following several weeks in which the United States has won U.N. approval to use military force and repeatedly warned Haiti's coup leaders that an invasion is. inevitable if they do not give up power.

A Wiki-Wiki See POWER, Page 10 The length of the outage is in dispute, however. Maiava said the outage hit Ken's around 10 to 10:15 a.m. and the company's electrician, Fukunaga Electric, arrived at about 11 to see what went wrong and when power could be restored.

Two dozen candidates signed up for the governor's race in July, but several bave been disqualified. Fourteen candidates," meanwhile, are in the racTe for lieutenant governor. In the Republican race, the top contenders are former state Sen. Stan Koki and former Rep. Fred Hemmings.

In the Democratic race, the race is between state Reps. Mazie Hirono and Jackie Young, who served this year as vice speaker of the House. Fasi's running mate in the Best Party is entertainer Danny Kaleikini. Di-nii-m into the general election, bypassing a tough campaign in the Republican or Democratic primaries. But his success hinges on keeping any interloper candidate from taking the party nomination in what will be a relatively small electorate.

"Three weeks ago, I didn't think we had a chance," said Woods, a gay activist. "But now I think we can do it" Woods said his biggest hurdle is getting coverage from the news media because he can't compete with Fasi's $3 million campaign fund. Woods said he used $300 to produce 15,000 campaign flyers his supporters are circulating in the community.

She pointed to a July poll in the Honolulu Advertiser that showed Cayetano leading 31 percent to Lewin's 13 percent, comparing that to the Star-Bulletin poll showing Cayetano at 40 percent and Lewin at 31 percent with a 22 percent undecided factor.

Conventional wisdom going into the final weeks of campaigning was that Fasi, Republican Pat Saiki and Democrat Ben Cayetano would win their respective party nominations. Media attention and campaign spending has focused on that prospect. However, a poll published recently by the Honolulu Star-Bulletin showed in the Democratic race that former state Health Director Jack Lewin has closed dramatically on Cayetano. "It's terrific.
