Over on the GOP side, William
Clements predicted in San Antonio that
he would take the Republican guber-
natorial nomination over Ray Hut-
chison.
Clements said he would be a fulltime
governor, working as many as 14 hours
a day.
The Democratic candidates for U.S.
Senate also had new slants to their
campaigns
Rep. Bob Krueger was in Washington
Wednesday
in a statement entered in the
Congressional record, Krueger asked
for a $5 billion cut in the 1979 federal
budget. He proposed an amendment
that would limit spending increases for
1979 to the rate of inflation in all but
three budget areas — agriculture,
defense and energy.
Joe Christie's workers distributed
small paper leaflets that carried a
photograph of Christie as he would
appear on a TV screen.
"Please hang this ad on your
television set for 30 seconds each hour
in the evening, preferably during prime
time between 7 and 10 p.m.,” read the
leaflet. The handbill added that "this
card may be the only Joe Christie ad

By The Associated Press
With only one day left to campaign,
Gov. Dolph Briscoe and Attorney
General John Hill continued to take
swipes at each other over taxes in their
campaign for the Democratic
nomination for governor
Hill told an audience in Abilene that it
would cost Texans another $1 billion in
local property taxes if Briscoe is
elected.
Meanwhile, Briscoe, in McAllen said
he would win the Democratic
nomination “by a landslide” if only a
third of Texas’ voters show up at the
polls.
Briscoe said Hill is hoping for a small
turnout because "this would be the only
way Hill could even come close.'’
Hill charged that local property taxes
have increased $1 billion in the five
years Briscoe has been in office.

property tax payers That means he
will do nothing about property taxes for
the next five years if he is re-elected,
