Straw poll Gore and : By The Associated Press Sen. Albert Gore Jr.'s victory in a South Carolina straw poll is an indication that he will do well in the South in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination, the Tennessee Democrat's supporters say. ^ Gore handily won the straw poll Monday night, gathering 390 votes, 62 percent of the votes cast. Albert Gore Sr. said his son's victory was "a clear signal of how we'll be a big No. 1 throughout the South." Gore organizer Dwight Drake said Gore's showing proves his "electability in South Carolina." State Rep. Jean Toal, D-Richland, said Gore's showing helps him in terms of letting people know his base is solid. "It's important he has a strong Southern base." Representatives of other candidates criticized the poll because it cost $50 to cast a vote at the state Democratic Party fund-raiser. The National Democratic Party also criticized the poll as a waste of time and money. State party officials saiu me straw pou was me oniy one planned in the nation in which ballots are purchased. John Dukakis, son of Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis and his father's Southern campaign coordinator, said the straw poll is not a true test of organizational support. "I question any poll in South Carolina in which Jesse Jackson gets 3 percent," he said. Jackson is a native of Greenville. The remaining contenders and their vote totals were: Rep. Richard Gephardt of Missouri, 101 votes for 1ft nfrrpnt* Dukakis untcs fnr 10 percent; Illinois Sen.

State Democratic Party Executive Director Chris Verenes said the event raised about $30,000. Riley, who left office in January after two terms, said Monday night the poll results, although unscientific, indicated some strength in the winning effort. "It does reflect a capacity to organize. The candidate who does best can say he was able to put more people together," Riley said. Jackson had urged his supporters to avoid the straw poll and his state campaign coordinator, K. Alexander Gray, called the tickets a "poll tax." "This is not a poll," Gray said Monday. "What's it going to prove? That someone had more money than someone else." The names of all of the Democratic presidential contenders remained on the tickets, which had already been printed when Jackson urged his supporters to boycott the event. Floyd Fithian, national campaign manager for Simon, said Monday in Columbia that the Simon camp made no effort to actively participate in the straw poll. m w/ i? wi 1 aT?? ? ?yi Jig jffl ffin lafli rime and Justi Legal and tsophical Pers orge Flet Professor of Law Columbia Law Scho< /ill speak on the top flnpfr ?r The Criminc on hursday, October 29 at 8:00 PM in the Belk Auditorium j Business Administi College rersity of South Can etcher is an eminent iting a book on the < g the author of num essor Pletcher is aut Criminal Law.
